LISTEN UP! 'Houdini' Dua Lipa The first single off Dua's long awaited next album is a BOP. It's also one of 97 (?!) new songs that she wrote for the album - whoa! We're glad she has picked this one coz the pop-tastic track is super catchy ("I'm not here for long, catch me or I'll go Houdini" is defs a line that we're constantly chanting coz it's forever stuck in our heads). It has a throbbing bass and a slight '70s disco vibe, which we totally dig. We wouldn't be surprised if it ends up becoming some sort of dance trend on social media. Either way, this is one track that we'll be dancing and singing along to all summer! Out now! Your rating out of 5 stars ____________…

The Matildas recently reunited to play three Olympic qualifier matches in Perth (a.k.a. Sam Kerr’s hometown). The dream team beat Iran 2-0, Philippines 8-0 and Chinese Taipei 3-0. Sam scored five epic goals, plus Clare Wheeler scored her first international goal for the Matildas against the Philippines. Yes Wheels! Something else super special happened at the Philippines match – the current home attendance record for a Tillies stand-alone match was set, with 59,155 people in the crowd.
