    One of the best pop albums in recent memory. Each song flows into each other perfectly, there’s not a single hair out of place. This album was perfectly constructed and Dua Lipa is on her way to becoming the next big pop star.

    Where do I start with this album? It’s like riding a rollercoaster that never ends. Presumptuously starting with the title track, “Future Nostalgia” gives an electric feel backed with women empowering lyrics to directly address the patriarchal society of 2020. “Don’t Start Now” (the lead single of the new record), describes a heartbreak which Lipa is not taking to heart, dancing throughWhere do I start with this album? It’s like riding a rollercoaster that never ends. Presumptuously starting with the title track, “Future Nostalgia” gives an electric feel backed with women empowering lyrics to directly address the patriarchal society of 2020. “Don’t Start Now” (the lead single of the new record), describes a heartbreak which Lipa is not taking to heart, dancing through the storm. “Cool” is a fun little interlude which now shows Dua falling for someone else (we guess this is Anwar Hadid). It’s the coolest way to split up the two lead singles in the album. This song is also a double meaning, it seems as though it’s a song to let listeners cool down but in fact it’s literally the opposite. You cannot help but dance. “Physical” (the second lead single from the album) is called by Lipa as a “fun disco dance class” which is how everyone acts when they hear it. Fun and electric dancing with help from the 80s track vibe. “Levitating”, “Pretty Please”, “Hallucinate” and “Love Again” all have similar dancy vibes to them, with Hallucinate being the most viciously attacking on your joints because of its beat and rhythm. Pretty Please is more of a cool down song but still has the same vibes, calling her man pretty and begging for his love again, literally leading on to Love Again, which strings background makes the start sound like a ballad and a slower song, until the beat drops and she starts singing “I never thought that I would find a way out...But god damn you got me in love again”. Suggestingly aimed at her new lover, Hadid, the songs guitar and strings chorus hooks the listener to want more and more from this album. Moving on, “Break My Heart” (the newest 3rd single from the album) shows Lipa fully submerged in the love from her partner, even if it means he will break her heart in the future. She doesn’t think about the future in this song, only the present and the feelings she receives from him. “Good In Bed” swiftly follows on with these feelings and heightens them to next levels. It’s like going from dates (BMH) to literal sex (GIB). Good In Bed shows Dua’s maturity while also experimenting with new sound and lyrics. She has never done a song quite like this before, especially when she says “Yeah we don’t know how to talk, but damn we know how to f*ck”. Finally the outro song “Boys Will Be Boys” links back to the title track of Future Nostalgia, showing how masculinity has stretched to the fullest and now is scaring women (literally with them “putting keys between their knuckles when there’s boys around”). “I should’ve stuck to ballet” shows how Lipa is scared to be in the music industry which is based all around men in the patriarchal society we live in today (we which cannot accept is true). All in all, the sophomore album brings peace, dance and electricity all into one record. Congrats Dua!… Expand

The new supreme of pop music, with a critically acclaimed studio album and beyond gorgeous visuals. I hope in fifteen or so years, we look back at her as a legend and as someone who left their indelible mark on music.

    Boring and repetitive. This album is full of fillings. Only Don’t start now and physical are the best songs from it. When you listen to it once you don’t want to listen to it again. Lipa tries to bring back the 80’s sound but she lost her way in the process.

In 2017 I was criticising Dua Lipa for her lack of stage presence and personality and now I'm suddenly buying tickets to see her live in Barcelona in 2021. Since her eponymous debut studio album she has evolved from a little girl who wanted to make music so badly that followed the rules of the pop game in order to make a timeless song with no essence into a full beautiful confident woman that will do whatever is in her hands to change the game. The work in this album is very satisfying. It tastes like freedom and glory made possible by the coordination of producers, mixers, graphic artists, record label and the voice behind it. "Future Nostalgia" is simply magnificent. The title is exciting, the cover art is very attractive and its content is diverse, catchy, touching and moody. Her voice sounds so confident and floating that there is no reason to doubt her. It really has songs that will age like fine Italian wine, a concept, a modern sound and a social message at the end. It just has everything an album needs to be perfect.
    I thought that pop royalty ended with Taylor Swift's '1989' six years ago but I was clearly wrong! Now that we have entered a new decade Dua is the most likely to define the game with this project and the upcoming ones. Since we are all home (I hope we ALL are home, if not, go home man what the ****), Dua Lipa has given us the best material to throw the most memorable clandestine house party to dance around with our beloved ones.
    A debut album gives you the right to play around with different genres and not making much of a cohesive album but the second is the one that will define your career, your professional future in the industry and well, her future feels brighter than anyone's else, no joking. Despite--or perhaps because of--its brevity (just over 30 minutes), "Future Nostalgia" is arresting in its tension, passion, and undeniable creative ingenuity. See so I just want to thank Dua Lipa for this perfect album, an undeniable pop masterpiece filled with the most enjoyable Swedish pop sound mixed with melancholic disco music that will for sure reinvent the music industry and save us from another male-dominated hip-hop era. "Future Nostalgia" will be remembered as a goosebumpic discotheque blackout; a collection of pop majesty to dance away your anxieties to; one of the best pop albums to be released in recent memory.    … Expand

    Dua Lipa released her new album, which, even before its release, presented several potential hits, such as Physical, Break My Heart, and the hit Don't Start Now. the title track, like the whole album, is saturated with the style of the 80s, this is the sound that many artists of the XIX century tried to achieve, but so far only Dua Lipa could do it.

This is an integral record that talks about feelings, love, emotionality.each track of the album, namely, Cool, Levitating, Hallucinate, Love Again, Good in Bed, Boys Will Be Boys, has awesome arrangements, and the sample in Love Again gives him an impetus for further development. Pretty Please is the calmest song on the album. This composition gives us pleasure and a little rest after the explosive Physical, Don't Start Now and Levitating.
    In this album it is impossible to single out a really strong song, because each of them has its own originality and is worthy to become a new hit! Each song on the album has its own unique charm!

    Don’t Start Now, Physical & Break My Heart are fantastic songs, but three fantastic songs don’t make a fantastic album. Sadly there are not enough new sounds on the other tracks. Hallucinate is just a different version of Break My Heart and Pretty Please seems like a slower version of Don’t Start Now. I expected way more, disappointed to be honest.

    The album is phenomenal, easily the best album so far this year. It's incredibly cohesive, groovy, fun and it captivates you from beginning to end.

    A triumphant album by Dua Lipa. Almost every track has good production, is catchy. There has been a lot of time since I wanted to listen again and again a new album, but she did it. I reckon it will make waves at next year's Grammy awards.

    one word..

    LEGENDARY!!

    Levitating is by far the best track but they are all excellent due to how different one is from another. Stream Future Nostalgia!

    Increíble sonido y concepto, me ha encantado cada canción, traer de vuelta los sonidos de los 80s ha sido una decisión acertada.

    Such a fresh and new pop. It takes some samples and sound from the 70s and 80s in such an espectacular way bringing those sounds to the future. Such a pop masterpiece, a vanguard movement in such times like this.

    Funky, disco vibes mixed into "now's" pop music. Future nostalgia is a complete banger/bop fest and a fully artistic body of work. Definitely album of the year so far. Dua Lipa's artistry at its finest!

    It is awful some of the worst tracks I’ve ever heard. The music seems rushed and unfinished and is no where near her best work. She’s trying desperately to please such a weird fanbase and failing miserably to even do that.

    Dua Lipa has positioned herself as the true princess of pop with this album and it doesn’t look like she’s giving up that title any time soon.

    Dua Lipa isn't afraid of speaking up her mind on her future nostalgia of broken hearted, loss, sex and her own self evolution. She nailed every song on her sophomore album, she really broke the cursed of the second album being her most successful album to date and making a better record than her debut album. This collection of songs, very cohesive, brings us 80s/90s pop vibes! Her voiceDua Lipa isn't afraid of speaking up her mind on her future nostalgia of broken hearted, loss, sex and her own self evolution. She nailed every song on her sophomore album, she really broke the cursed of the second album being her most successful album to date and making a better record than her debut album. This collection of songs, very cohesive, brings us 80s/90s pop vibes! Her voice and vocals on this album is so strong, confident and powerful.. talking about the lyrics are just a masterpiece, she knows how to write a good song, she can't make a bad song, there is no single song in this album that you can't call "a bop". The production is wonderful and out of this world, she found the pop sound that a lot of pop girlies are chasing, she knew with who to work and how to make a good team for the album, even though a lot of songs were scrapped from the album like If It Ain't Me or Ball And Chain that are wonderful and perfect bops, we all can agree this is a pop perfection album. I can really see her winning Best Pop Vocal Album and (i hope) Album Of The Year at the Grammy's 2021, maybe she won't win Album Of The Year but i'm pretty sure she'll get those 2 nominations! I'm so proud of how this girl grew up as an artist and how her sound grew and got more mature as she kept growing and learning. This is one of the best pop albums in recent memory, Dua Lipa is now a main pop girlie.… Expand

    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.
