    A near-perfect album. Impossible not to vibe to. Loved nearly every song on the first listen. So catchy and smooth, I could and have listened to this album over and over again.

    Finally someone with a good second album! The songs really scream quality before quantity. Production is top notch and Dua also adresses some things others are to scared to talk about. Im a fan now, thanks Dua.

    Dua Lipa, "Future Nostalgia" - Warner Records 2020
    Il "Ritorno al futuro" di Dua Lipa. Parte 1

    Il "Ritorno al futuro" di Dua Lipa. Parte 1
    Qualcosa è cambiato, s'intuisce già dalla copertina del disco: lei arriva (dal passato? dalla luna?) al volante di un'auto retrò, con un look che combina elementi romantico/nostalgici ma con l'aria di sapere esattamente dove vuole andare; e lei, Dua, le idee le ha molto chiare: resta da scoprire dove vuole portarci.
    Mi salta subito all'occhio un requisito fondamentale per un disco che aspira ad essere importante: la durata. Tutti gli album veramente importanti nella storia della musica durano meno di 40 minuti: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (39 min.), Pet sound (36 min.), Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (38:50), Are You Experienced (40 min.); con i suoi 37 min. e 17 sec. "Future Nostalgia" presenta ufficialmente la sua candidatura.
    Quindi ci troviamo per le mani un potenziale disco del mese? dell'anno? del secolo? Calma ragazzi: la durata "ragionevole" consente più ascolti, in breve tempo puoi farti un'idea, entrare meglio dentro il lavoro, cogliendo elementi che inizialmente non vedevi oppure ridimensionandone altri. Tuttavia questo è solo un requisito, poi ci vuole altro.
    Saltiamo a bordo e partiamo: un viaggio nel tempo lungo 11 brani (qualche "bonus" in più solo per alcuni mercati); ma anche un viaggio intorno al mondo, perchè il "veicolo" Dua Lipa non può misurarsi con dimensioni che siano meno del "planetario".
    Con la title-trak entriamo nel "futuro" musicale, immaginato da Dua Lipa con la complicità del "guru" californiano Jeff Bhasker che ne è anche il produttore; un futuro "prossimo" ma pur sempre futuro. Il brano è senza dubbio il più interessante, musicalmente parlando, di tutto l'album: base elettro-pop con ritmi sincopati che s'intrecciano su tempi composti, dove Dua dimostra versatilità e carisma nell'alternare un parlato quasi rap al canto. Testo ironico che sfida la dimensione "maschile", esibendo una consapevole posizione di forza.
    Curiosamente "profetico" il videoclip: storia di una relazione finita dove lei "parla" al suo ex accusandolo di non essere all'altezza, di non voler cambiare...
    In questo tempo triste, fatto di quarantene, di distanza forzosa tra le persone, vedere la nostra aggirarsi tutta sola dentro una casa grandiosa ma vuota, simbolo di una vita grandiosa ma vuota, produce un certo effetto di estraniamento: come essere naufraghi su un'isola tropicale deserta con in tasca il biglietto vincente della lotteria nazionale.
    A proposito di isole deserte; ieri sera mi rivedevo "Cast away" e pensavo a come sarà la vita dopo che avremo lasciato la nostra "isola": lui ha dovuto rinunciare a lei, perderla di nuovo e ricominciare una nuova vita in un mondo che non sembrerà più lo stesso, perchè lui non è più lo stesso; noi dovremo restare lontani due metri gli uni dagli altri, con una mascherina a coprirci metà della faccia e chissà per quanto tempo...
    Ne usciremo in un mondo cambiato, questo è certo, ma noi di quanto saremo cambiati? Sapremo considerare un cambiamento nelle nostre abitudini, consumi, scale di priorità, fino ad immaginare un cambiamento del nostro stesso modello di sviluppo?...
    Sarebbe ora di capire che la dobbiamo trattare un po' meglio questa palla di fango sparata nello spazio con noi sopra; è un rischio comunque e all'inizio sono dolori per tutti ma...
    "Continuare a respirare" dice Tom, continuare il viaggio, che non sai mai il domani dove ti porterà e forse, domani, potremmo riscoprire il valore profondo di un contatto fisico come una stretta di mano o un abbraccio.
    Continuo questo viaggio musicale e mi accorgo che non riesco ad immaginarlo se non di notte: tutti i brani evocano mondi notturni, milioni di piste da ballo, palestre, luoghi d'incontro dove la musica è elemento irrinunciabile; la luna stessa può diventare un'altra strobosfera che riflette i desideri, ne moltiplica l'intensità.
    A quei mondi Dua Lipa, dall'alto dei suoi 24 anni, appare come la nuova Dea della disco-pop music e con "Physical", altro vertice del disco, chiama il suo popolo per celebrare il mistero ed il fascino dell'eterno gioco dell'amore, della fisicità e, in definitiva, dell'essere giovani.
    Chi, come il sottoscritto, giovane lo è stato proprio negli anni '80 (quando Dua Lipa non era ancora nata) magari si ritroverà a pensare alla "spensieratezza" con la quale potevamo stare in bagno anche un'ora: a pettinarci i capelli allo specchio, mentre alla radio passano "Happy hour" degli Housemartins, prima di andare in discoteca, il sabato sera.
    E' quell'attesa, quel desiderio che precede il piacere, diventa il vero piacere; così aspettiamo: che finisca la quarantena, che torni l'estate, per andare ancora a ballare....(continua)    … Expand

    Future Nostalgia is now one of my all time favorite albums. I'm glad that there are only eleven songs because all of them are perfect. There is not a single track that feels out of place. There isn't a single skip either. The production is rich, the vocals evolved a lot from her debut. The singles were wisely chose. They are all tracks with mature lyrics. Even the cover is great.

    Future Nostalgia lives up to its name. Dua is able to entice the listener with a retro sound that makes the listener nostalgic of music from the 80s and 70s while also encompassing a futuristic vision of what music should sound like in the future. The album is a standout from those released this year and a front-runner for album of the year

    One of the best albums and the top 3 pop albums of past 10 years. Fantastic production , timeless songs and a very unique grainy yet smooth amalgam of Dua Lipa's voice. This album is a treat. It's timeless. Just almost like the TPAB of pop right now . So unique, yet groovy and danceable. Fantastic.
    My new favourite pop artist. This doesn't seem like an ephemeral choice. Worth the time

    A couple of these tracks don't work, but the ambition and execution of her sound is immaculate. I can't remember the last time a huge pop album was this well-constructed. The first three songs are knockouts and "Pretty Please" makes me want to move every time I hear it. If there is a better, more clever pop hook in 2020 than "Boys Will Be Boys," I have yet to hear it.

    I found Dua in 2017, and to see where she got is at least overwhelming. The extreme maturity that is shown in this album is insane. Compared to her debut album, Future Nostalgia really sounds like something made by pros. From the lyrics that are full of nowadays trends, to the beats that are MAGICAL and worth the whole experience, this album is a must to listen.

The 2 greatest aspects of this album are it's amazing production, and its excellent cohesiveness, every song feels completely necessary and every track flows together so well. I also enjoyed Dua's catchy and well written lyrics about Sex, Empowerment, Equality, Relationship Choices, and Emancipation. This album genuinely does not have a single bad track, every track features Dua's excellent songwriting, immaculate production, and top tier vocals! I was not a big fan of Dua Lipa before this album. While I liked her debut self titled album, it kinda left me wanting more, it almost felt like Dua wasn't utilizing her talents as well as she clearly can (which this album shows in a much better light). I had no plans of listening to this album on the first day of release, but after I saw the huge critical and musicophile acclaim the album was getting, I decided to check it out. And if you still couldn't tell by this point in the review, I absolutely adore this album. I am genuinely so damn happy to see this trend of mainstream pop musicians maturing and releasing their greatest bodies of work (Dua, Halsey, Ariana, Lana, Charli XCX, etc). This album is just another amazing body of work being added to pop music in the 21st century, and I couldn't be happier to witness it firsthand. In conclusion, this album is WORTH THE HYPE!!! Please check out this amazing sophomore effort from Dua Lipa as soon as you possibly can, I have a feeling you will completely fall in love with it!- Will Herren (April 22, 2020)… Expand

However, the three ending tracks kind of left me unsatisfied: I appreciated Dua Lipa's struggle in not sounding redundant, which is however the reason why Break My Heart andGood in Bed sound quite weak and too familiar with other past pop songs; Boys Will Be Boys, instead, is definitely a good track, but I didn't get why it was put at the end of the record, where I did expect something more adrenaline, in order to leave the listener with a good feeling.… Expand

    Dude this is the best album I've ever heard in my entire life, it's so good that you listen millions of times and never get tired ... This album certainly deserves a GRAMMY'S AWARD for a AOTY, because it is obviously the best. Dua Lipa u r god!

    This album is pure pop. It's an album that should come off as boring and unoriginal but somehow manages to be the exact opposite. Every track is well-placed and none are superfluous. Definitely one of the best albums that I have listened to in 2020. Certainly an album that I will be replaying time and time again.

    This would be a perfect 10 and my favorite album of 2020 if it was not for "Boys Will Be Boys". Such a weird turn in the tracklist. Stars know it's okay to have the last track on the album NOT be a slow ballad, right?

    Future Nostalgia represents a massive glow up from her already pretty good, self-titled debut. Any comments on blandness, being too generic, uninteresting have been completely nullified by this stunningly successful exploration of 80's disco pop. Like God damn, this album is good.

From the addictive baselines in Don't Start Now, Pretty Please and Break My Heart, to the Jackson 5 influenced Levitating, to the pure energy of tracks like Physical and Hallucinate - this album is everything a pop fan could ask for. But, the greatness of the first 9 tracks is what makes the average-ness of the last 2 so painful. Good In Bed is too crass and teenagery to be enjoyable, and Boys Will Be Boys is a cringey attempt at a female empowerment anthem. I'd be tempted to recommend putting the first 9 tracks into a playlist and tacking on a couple tracks from her first album to the end to close it off, because those last couple songs kind of ruin the listening experience for me. However don't get me wrong, this is almost a perfect album to me - and I'm not sure Dua could ever top this.… Expand

    Make no mistake, her risks are still very within the context of a 4/4 pop structure, but she still finds such color and joy in her surroundings it's hard not to get swept up in her energy. Such risk-staking, however, can still lead to a few moments that could've used a bit more polish.
