Eminem and Dua Lipa’s ‘Houdini’ Singles Mashed Up By Foster the People In ‘Battle of the Houdinis’

Foster the People's Mark Foster hit the studio to mash up his band's 2011 'Houdini' single with songs of the same name by Eminem and Dua Lipa.

“Thought it’d be fun to bring in our OG ‘Houdini’ from our first record and, you know, mash the three of them up together,” he said of the beat-heavy track that was the fifth single from Foster’s 2011 debut album, Torches. Dua Lipa released her “Houdini” in November as the lead single from her Radical Optimism album, while Eminem dropped his song of the same name in May as a preview of his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which is due out on July 12. Foster’s remix video then pivots to the band leader at a computer cueing up Dua’s song while playing keyboards and triggering the beat from his group’s track as he mixes in some Slim Shady.
