    Perfect pop album, that other pop Girls wish to release, so fresh and 80s vibes with HITS like Physical and Don’t Start Now. Dua confirmed main pop girl status on this record. Future Nostalgia is the name.

    Future Nostalgia is definitely the Best Album of the year already, but I don’t think is a 100 album, my grade for this unexpected but fabulous album is a 80, the album stars with incredible songs that we already knew but when we hear “Cool” a new song that fits perfect before “Physical” we fall in love more with Dua, everything is amazing except for the end where “Good in Bed” and “BoysFuture Nostalgia is definitely the Best Album of the year already, but I don’t think is a 100 album, my grade for this unexpected but fabulous album is a 80, the album stars with incredible songs that we already knew but when we hear “Cool” a new song that fits perfect before “Physical” we fall in love more with Dua, everything is amazing except for the end where “Good in Bed” and “Boys will be boys” really destroy the vibe of the album, they feel like fillers, terrible for and album of 11 tracks on my opinion. To me the album finishes on the track number 9 “Break my heart”. My favorite songs that we didn’t hear before are definitely “Pretty Please” and “Levitating” .

    The sound of the album is really really good and the way they played with the effects makes this album even better with allot of different textures and spaces. The rhythms are so awesome and they make u wanna dance.

    Her voice simple as usual but fabulous like never before. She show that she can play with her tone and give us different textures in this album not like her debut self titled “Dua Lipa”. The simplicity of her singing but with incredibly good technic makes this album not pretentious and terribly enjoyable.

    Can’t wait to see more of Dua in the future.

    Future Nostalgia is effective in both invoking nostalgia and creating something fresh. The samples are warranted and doesnt sound like a cheap gimmick and actually makes use of it in a fresh new perspective. The songs are very dance club appropriate with some slower beat-heavy songs. Fav album of 2020 so far! Good job Dua!

    Future Nostalgia is an instant smash, an anthem to some people. Dua took what was the best of the 80s and early 90s and made it modern in the way we all wanted!
    The main single - Don't Start Now was the best possible era opener with a fresh, yet nostalgic beat and fun lyrics. The physical was an amazing followup and Break My Heart is a song you will like because it's simply an earworm!

    Living up to its name, Future Nostalgia gived us a well-crafted body of work that is powered by nostalgic 80s-90s-inspired instrumentals alongside a more confident Dua especially vocal-wise. This is, by far, the best album of 2020 in my opinion (as of March 27, 2020). The best tracks in my opinion are Physical, Don't Start Now, Future Nostalgia, Break My Heart and Love Again.

    Future Nostalgia is carefree, euphoric, effortless, like a rush of dopamine to the brain. One of the best pop albums of the last 10 years for sure, probably the most exciting overall. The first 9 tracks flow perfectly, then Good In Bed simply doesn't match the vibe and production of the other tracks, dragging the mood down a bit, and Boys Will Be Boys is a jarring ending.

    Future Nostalgia is arguably one of the most innovative and interesting pop records in years. From the 80s disco single, 'Don't Start Now' to 'Physical', to the bass-thumping 'Break My Heart', the singles are all GOLDEN. She established herself as a pop star who means business. She's making the music and she doesn't tire you out of the experience until the very last track. Amazing.
