    Dua’s new album is just flawless. Lipa has progressed so much as a woman and as an artist. The album show that Lipa is grown and independent woman who is rising to the stars and becoming world’s new biggest pop star.

    si bien manifiestan que el álbum está lleno de samples peca de poca originalidad, canciones remezcladas de otras canciones ya existentes que denotan la poca creatividad de componer hoy en día, fan de su primer álbum, pero este álbum me dejo mucho por procesar

    Dua delivers as usual that unique, deep and truthful voice that makes you distinguish her as soon as she starts singing. Throughout the album we can actually discover that her voice is the real protagonist and I do really appreciate it. Her singing feels natural and raw but it is not.

Throughout the album we can actually discover that her voice is the real protagonist and I do really appreciate it. Her singing feels natural and raw but it is not. She achieves to have a voice that just feels true to what she is singing and makes the listener connect better and deeper with the song. My recommendation? Just let her voice flow into you and move you, get lost in it.

    This album serves as an example of a cohesive work that has been executed beautifully and thoughtfully, no detail was unfinished or unpolished. No song is a filler, she has chosen carefully to make every song count and thrive on its own. I can almost tell how many instrumentation was used in every song. The production is rich, beautiful (and expensive) but does not feel too much, its just the perfect companion and makes Dua's voice shine. It is an example of how sometimes, natural, minimalist but complex work perfectly.

    The lyrics are pretty straight forward as Dua is. However, it's due to its simplicity that we find the beauty and connection with them. Lyrics are bold, fearless, sexy and empowering. Dua has told many times she's not afraid to speak her mind and this album is a clear example of it. She starts and ends strong in the album; a bold, empowering "Future Nostalgia" to make clear she has not come to play but to show how it's done (and she shows it very well) and a melancholic, real and deep "Boys Will Be Boys" to end it to keep things real and getting us back to Earth after levitating with her album. Personally I do appreciate that the last song was "Boys Will Be Boys" as if Dua is telling us through the majority of the album to enjoy, be empowered and feel sexy but ends with a strong "never forget what reality is like". Very clever move Dua!

    All in all, I personally believe this album will lead the way of a new era for pop music and Dua will be a perfect and strong bold outspoken fearless leader, as it is a recap of every good sound that has been and a perfect start to pave the way for the new decade of pop. I perfectly see this album giving Dua's first Grammy for "Album Of The Year". Mark my words.    … Expand

    okey, Dua Lipa did THAT. She just saved the pop music this year. This album is the magna carta of what the reinvention of an artist is. She made a completely evolution of herself throght something tasteful in sound, good lyrics and a fusion of modern and retro atmosphere. She deserves all the success she have been archiving. God saves the future of Pop!

    This is by far one of the greatest pop albums of the last years, and one of the bests overall! She explores the 70’s and the 80’s sound but still sounding modern and fresh. The eleven tracks are all great and the is not any bad song on this record. In conclusion, this is a fun, cohesive, fresh and amazing album that is going to stay in our minds in the next years, AMAZING JOB DUA!

    Dua serves disco beats and pop perfection. Every single track is different from the other. There are some stand-out tracks for me, they are "Hallucinate", "Don't Start Now" and "Good in Bed". Special mention to "Boys Will be Boys". Must listen

    the first half of the album is awesome, Dua suceed with flying colors.
    Banger after banger. But the later half of the album is kinda lame.
    Modern generic pop, and the last 2 song is bad..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best pop album of 2020 so far and I dare to say of the year, is so different to everything at the moment and nostalgic at the same time. She really delivers the name of the álbum. All the songs are good no fillers.… Expand

    The best reinvention pop has seen. Dua Lipa takes criticism and molds herself into a pop legend. Can't wait to see what she does next. If this album is any indicator, we're witnessing the growth of the next mega star.

    Un gran álbum de Dua Lipa, sin duda trajo un buen disco, buenos sonidos buenas letras, algo muy bueno para escuchar y no parar de escucharlo, sin duda se merece ese 10, lo hizo muy bien, nos trajo lo que necesitábamos en cuanto a música.

    Dua Lipa’s best album at the moment. 80-90-00’s pop lately is an inspiration, only a few artist achieve that correctly, and she is one of them.

    A great pop album, when pop it's lacking these days. It has no skips at all.

    La maravillosa experiencia y viaje que te da este álbum como obsequio es subliminal, es una magnitud del pop con sonidos de generaciónes pasadas pero con producciónes que suenan a la actualidad y al futuro, un álbum de maravilla y de los mejores que saldrán en el año.

    Pop perfection. it's amazing how inventive and creative Dua became when recording this album. Nostalgic, yet so current, but also futuristic, all at the same time. I can see these songs, especially Don't Start Now, still being incredibly fresh and new sounding in the next ten years.

    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.
