    The best blend of nostalgic throwback beats with futuristic pop sound. The perfect collection and conceptual album. It's impossible to pick favorites as there are so many amazing pop songs - Physical and Love Again take me to a place that makes me feel so elated to be able to listen to these songs. Best quarantine track. Sensational. One to beat.

    El concepto se siente desde el primer track, la manera en que reinventó el disco en el 2020 fue muy arriesgado pero entregado de una manera excelente y cohesivo, canciones alegres, con un mensaje relatable y algunos statements bien claros, la producción excelente, Dua Lipa volvió a entregar un Album de estudio al nivel de los grandes de la industria.

O ponto alto do album são as faixas Levitating, Hallucinate e Love Again que são responsáveis por elevar a outro nível o astral do album oferecendo o melhor e mais alegre lado da música pop juntamente com uma batida poderosa.

    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!

    My heart started to beat faster when i heard "Brake My Heart" the first time. I love the 80 's touch and the diversity of all tracks. I like most in the album when Dua 's voice scratches a little bit, for example in "Cool". In my opinion this album is insane and a full success.

    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
