    Future Nostalgie is pure pop album, with dance songs and all of them have a very deep message, but ever with a pop rhythm! Great job Dua!

    Arguably, the best album of 2020. Back to when everyone thought Dua would fade as a classic one-hit wonder of 2017. She would return back with a 70s-80s influenced dance-pop disco album and do a full 180 degree! The highlights in this album are definitely Levitating, Hallucinate, Pretty please, Physical, love again, break my again and don’t start now.

    The album as a whole gives you that of nostalgic feeling hence the album title. The tracks are heavily influced by 80's - 90s music and the diva of those times as well. While it has that nostalgia, it still sounds fresh to the ear thus enjoying every listening session.

    A timeless reminder of pops roots and how music has evolved over the decades! Tracks don't seem repetitive and ever non singles is just as strong as the singles themselves.

    A huge step for dua lipa from her debut album. she perfected the art of writing and producing a full sonically cohesive album inspired by 70s/80s disco pop music that gives this album its flare and charisma similar to what other pop female icons have done in the past (ie Taylor Swift's 1989 and Carly Rae Jepsen's emotion) . i enjoyed it every step of the way and youll surely be too

    I just loved this album. It perfectly embodies the current era of pop music, which is highly influenced by 70s, 80s and 90s sounds. There are only a couple of songs I’m not crazy to listen to again but overall it’s one of the best albums of 2020 so far.

    good album with bops but it sounds a little bit too repetitive. She doesn't explore something else expect generic pop song which lack of versatility.

    FUTURE NOSTALIGA REVIEW

    1. Future Nostalgia - Great sound that sticks out from the rest of the album, but not to much for it not to fit in. Very strong album opener and the lyrics are amazing! 8/10 2. Don't Start Now - I love the bass and the pre-chorus and the contrast between that part and the chours. I love the lyrics. It did kinda age after a while and its not a song that I listen as
    FUTURE NOSTALIGA REVIEW

    1. Future Nostalgia - Great sound that sticks out from the rest of the album, but not to much for it not to fit in. Very strong album opener and the lyrics are amazing! 8/10

    2. Don't Start Now - I love the bass and the pre-chorus and the contrast between that part and the chours. I love the lyrics. It did kinda age after a while and its not a song that I listen as often, but still a rather strong song.
    7.5/10

    3. Cool - a sad sounding 80's/synthpop song but with happy lyrics. The sound sticks out, but the song itself is not as strong as many of the other songs on this album.
    6/10

    4. Physical - a 80's synthpop BANGER! I love it, but it kinda aged and it's a bit overrated. Strong single choice
    8/10

    5. Levitating - at my first listens, the song was good but not one of my faves. Now, the song has def grown on me and it's one of my faves from the album!
    9/10

    6. Pretty Please - I LOVE IT!! i love the lyrics, the soft and breathy vocals and the bass.
    8.5/10

    7. Hallucinate - one of the weaker songs on the album, in my opinion. It's not a skip, but not a song that I am eager to listen to. The chours is the best part.
    5/10

    8. Love Again - I dont know why, but at my first listen I hated this song, but now... this song is probobly my fave from the album. The lyrics, the beautiful strings and everything about this song is amazing. I love it so much!! The sample in the song gives it a nostalgic touth. AN UNDERRATED BOP!
    10/10

    9. Break My Heart - I love this song so much! I fell in love with it already on the first listen! l love the contrast and unexpecpted breaks in the beat, her vocals and the clever lyrics. It did kinda age but not to much!
    9.5/10

    10. Good In Bed - I really love the beat and the sad and releateable lyrics. It's a really strong song, but the chours' melody kinda throws me off and the reason why it's rating is lower.
    7/10

    11. Boys Will Boys - A feminist song with a good message. I love the strings and the arrangement of the song. The song's lyrics are kinda cheesy. The song doesnt really fit to end the standrad version of the album and it really dont have a 70's/80's throwback vibe. A skip sadly. the song is short tho :)
    3/10

    12. Levitating (ft. Da Baby) - we didn't need this collab to be honest. Da Baby's rap in the second verse destroys and dont fit the song...
    4/10

    13. Fever (with Angéle) - THIS COLLAB THO! i am obsessed with this song, it's unreal. My second fave of the album, even though it dont really fit the album. I find that okay tho beacuse it's a bonus track. The vocals and production, I LOVE IT. Angéle's parts are amazing and french suits the song so good.

    A pop masterpiece!! Not a single bad song in the album. Every song fits very well with the concept. I listen to it every day.

    Future nostalgia is the example of how you bring the past to the present in such an exquisty way, every songs brings the 80´s sound mixing with a modern sound.

    Definitely one of the best albums I've ever listen to so far. I immediately fell in love with all the songs within my first listen. This album is a masterpiece (periodt).

    Pop perfection. I love this album, it is the best of the year. Not starting now was a great choice to promote the album, the other songs are not far behind, they are all very good, especially 'boys will be boys' unexpected but a beautiful song to end this magnificent album. AOTY 2020 is yours.

    Small quibbles notwithstanding, Future Nostalgia is the perfect antidote to quarantine-induced cabin fever.

    With this flawless effort, she manages to achieve both. Future Nostalgia could have just as well been titled "Future Classic."

    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.
