    What isn’t this album!!
    Masterfully cohesive, sonically intriguing and lyrically captivating. Pop albums like this happen once every 15 years or so, without a doubt the absolute best album of 2020 so far and most likely runner up for best album of this new decade. Bravo!

    One of the best albuns with 80's concept I’ve heard during theses years. Dua Lipa gives us a universe of good feelings and a masterpiece to celebrate our lives our friendship and anthems that bring to the cure into the heart breaking and all the bad things we’ve been through. It’s time to travel to our best moments in the past without get out of the future. Let’s dance!!!

    Electrifying, Magnetic, Frenetically Dope!!! Dua Lipa’s mature is undeniable. This Girl knows what can come and shoots it in your face. She takes you a nostalgic pop disco impulse but grabs you by the neck and takes you up to her spaceship and doesn’t release you but beyond the middle of the album with a sensation of: let me out, but at the same time keep going.

    With an ending perhaps

    Ok, first of all, it's a really good album.

    Listening to it was a real pleasure. I've been in tears, I've been dancing alone in my bedroom, I've been smiling so hard, I had so much joy, and I just forgot all the problems around me. Right now we are living in a hard time but I could forget all these bad things while listening to this album. it was like a cure, so I would like to thanks

    Listening to it was a real pleasure. I've been in tears, I've been dancing alone in my bedroom, I've been smiling so hard, I had so much joy, and I just forgot all the problems around me. Right now we are living in a hard time but I could forget all these bad things while listening to this album. it was like a cure, so I would like to thanks Dua for this. The production, the instrumental and the vocals are perfect. So much melodies (love the violin parts in some songs), so much things to heard in each song but it's never "too much", every little thing is well balanced. I loved every song on the album (a little less "Good In Bed" but it still wasn't bad at all!). My favorites are definitely : "Don't Start Now" ; "Physical" ; "Break My Heart" ; "Levitating" and "Hallucinate" (what a song, I almost died). "Future Nostalgia", "Cool", "Pretty Please" and "Love Again" are excellent too. Good beats, good production. Then there's "Boys Will Be Boys", which hasn't the same 'disco/retro' vibe of all the previous tracks but it is still special and good in my opinion (and reading the lyrics is important to understand the message behind. I'm a man but I didn't feel offended at all, I understood clearly what Dua wanted to say.). There's no skip for me.

    I just wish the album was longer, but we get what we get, I'm still satisfied. I'm proud of Dua, because she did an amazing job with this era and this album. The 'disco' genre fits her perfectly. I really love when an album has a universe and a whole theme behind. The title/theme 'Future Nostalgia' fits very well what the album is about. Dua brought back 'disco/retro' genre (nostalgia) and made it feel modern (future). She even sampled some parts from old/disco songs, she modified these parts and created new modern songs with. So she did what she had to do, and she did great, that's all I've to say about this.

    Very happy for her, very satisfied about this album.
    I'm not even scared to say that 'Future Nostalgia' is probably the Album of the Year (at least, it is for me!).

I missed some less lively songs, which make us think more about life and not just the nostalgia that those songs bring us.

    Well producted, exciting and fresh. It’s smart because try to combine what the young like to listen and what people from others generations liked when trey were young. There is no bad song but some of them have different vibes so you may like some very much and don’t add in your playlist others. After all its a very dancing album with good lyrics and a lot of good surprises.

    O album tem uma construção muito boa, ele começa bem nostalgico, já é possivel sentir a essência do album nas 5 primeiras músicas, Dua consegue mesclar os singles com músicas mais softs porém dançantes como Cool e Levitating. Sem dúvidas o ponto alto do album é "Love Again".

    The album is close to pop perfection. Dua Lipa has proven that cohesiveness in musical production can't do no wrong. Not only does she manipulate the retro materials masterfully, she also turns the genre on its head and gives pop the renaissance it deserves.
