Dua Lipa has teased a new single ‘Houdini’ with a cryptic  message to fans on Instagram.

Dua Lipa: “If somebody told me not to discuss issues I’m passion ate about? I wouldn’t listen”

The pop singer posted a snippet of new music on her account, in which she can be heard singing, “Tell me all the ways you’ll need me”.

At the end of the snippet, a series of numbers flash up: 4 8 9 9 14 15 21. These numbers, when translated to their equivalent letters, can be re-arranged to form the name Houdini.

The abstract references to Houdini appear to continue, with Dua Lipa being shown with a golden key necklace resting in her mouth.

 During his acts, one of Houdini’s methods of escape was to receive the key to his handcuffs by his wife passing it to him in their mouths as they kissed.
