Hey, everyone
I'm so glad “Torches” is making rounds more than a decade later. I remember buying the deluxe vinyl edition the first week of December 2023, but now we're about to receive even more goodness involving Eminem and Dua Lipa. When indie, pop, and rap collide into a smorgasbord of unique sounds, particularly when Mark Foster is at the helm of this cosmic convergence, only good things come alive. Let's do it, Foster kids!
Way the hell back in 2011 Foster The People released their debut “Torches” on May 23, featuring smash hits “Pumped Up Kicks”, “Helena Beat”, and “Houdini”. Now, in 2024, Eminem and Dua Lipa join the conversation with their own interpretation of “Houdini”. So with that in mind, Mark Foster is shown in a recent clip combining the three tracks into an upbeat mashup by way of a remix. Not a bad move, but will the real “Houdini” please stand up?
Sometime in May or June of this year I finally buckled down and listened to all of Dua Lipa's discography after years of just being a casual radio fan. To finally see some movement from Foster The People remixing her song is too funny and weird. I like the idea of this as well as seeing Isom and Mark in the studio clowning over this parody.
"Houdini"? "Houdini X"? "Houdini XX"? "Houdini X Houdini X Houdini"? What's the official title going to be? XDD
For right now, though, just enjoy “Take Me Back” and “Lost In Space”.
