    This is the best album of Dua Lipa's career(at present).In fact, she is one of the most popular singers in the world at present. I mean, it is best pop album in recent years. I hope Dua will be a real DIVA.

    O álbum sem dúvidas é o melhor álbum de 2020, trazendo samples de músicas dos anos 80's, Dua Lipa consegue ser extremamente carismática e inovadora, não é atoa que para mim é o melhor álbum de 2020.

    no one did like her, she literally created a standard and aesthetic level for pop! while some other singers are still doing the same thing on album 5 Dua on album 2 has fabricated a new pop formula, she has the greatest potential to be our next pop princess she deserves it

The name 'Future Nostalgia' perfectly suits the feel and sound of this album, it has futuristic vibes but also has some nostalgic pop aspects to it, and we'll DEFINITELY look back on this album in 20 years from now and refer to it as a classic, and Dua Lipa will be remembered as the woman who saved the mainstream pop music with this fantastic work of art.… Expand

    Dua Lipa at her best! The album contains a collection of great songs. In times of pandemic, the record comes as a good help to try to have fun and be distracted. In addition to the singles, "Hallucinate", "Levitating" and "Love Again" are the gems of the album.

    Um álbum incrível, no ano de 2020 que estávamos precisando de um pop realmente marcante Dua Lipa trouxe 'Physical', 'Don't Start Now', 'Hallucinate', 'Break My Heart' entre outras faixas impressionantes.
    Para quem achou que ela ia ficar lembrada só por 'New Rules' se enganou, Dua está vindo com tudo e um pouco mais!!!

    Dua made one of the most surprising releases of 2020. In a time of isolation and illness, she brings a selection of tracks that make us want to dance and forget the problems that are in us. surrounding us. "Future Nostalgia" is an album that will mark for decades so that the next generations know the legacy that Dua Lipa continues to leave

    FN is one of the best pop records I've ever heard. Literally this album has 0 skips. The title really gives us the perfect explanation of what we can expect from the songs: pop-dance sounds that make us remember the 80's but also make us feel like we're dancing into the future. A cool and fun album.

    Con tres sencillos que resplandecen, Dua Lipa nos trae su mejor álbum hasta ahora. Una bomba dance que consolida su lugar como artista ascendente. El álbum trae pilares extremadamente fuertes que sostienen las pistas más débiles. ¿El error? la corta duración.
    Dua Lipa ha perfecccionado el ritmo pop de la nueva década.

    Future Nostalgia is totally cohesive and very well worked, one song complete and the other as a symphonic orgy. A Fituristic Pop mixed with Old Pop, a wonderful musical dance to hear. Strong points are "Levitating", "Don't Start Now" and "Hallucinate". "Love Again" is reminiscent of Madonna in the year 2006, a very well done song.

    Future Nostalgia is pop perfection, an energetic album whose production recalls past musical eras while still sounding as fresh and inventive as any present-day release. Dua Lipa has undergone the exact opposite of a sophomore slump, instead cementing herself as an industry tour de force.

    Highlights include 'Future Nostalgia,' 'Physical,' and 'Levitating'.

    Dua Lipa with this album save pop music, its sweet, empowering, sexy and inspiring, it has 80´s vibe, its psychedelic and modern in a way, without losing Dua´s essence. One of the best albums of 2020. SHE DID THAT

    It’s been a long time since a chart-topping artist can produce a full-length record that’s coherent yet keeps your interest track-by-track.

    Future Nostalgia slaps hard. It´s a tremendous improvement from her last album. It has amazing songs, amazing and meaningful lyrics, such as the songs Future Nostalgia and Boys will be boys. It mixes similar sounds from the 80´s and the early 2000s giving us an incredible set of songs that you can definitely listen to everyday.

    Just so many hits on this album. I don't feel any of these songs needed to be remixed for Club Future Nostalgia as they were perfection on here. Physical is one song I cannot get enough of (constant repeat!!) Overall I genuinely cannot find a song I am willing to skip! I would classify Boys Will Be Boys as a great album track - but to me all other songs are single worthy! Not sure what DuaJust so many hits on this album.

    Just as I had heard by many people, Dua Lipa’s second album, Future Nostalgia, was phenomenal. Her new sound with confident melodies, complicated basslines, and creativity with guitars and synths make a grand majority of Future Nostalgia’s songs a blast to listen to. Even the “extra” songs slapped onto the end with the “Moonlight Edition” can be really well done as well.

    I really wish I could have included my entire song-by-song commentary, but that would push my review past the character limit.

    Overall, I was extremely pleased by Dua Lipa’s most recent release. In pretty much every song, everything fit so well together despite each track being so loaded with complicated bass, synth, and guitar parts. I’m definitely a fan of this new sound from Dua Lipa and I really hope she releases another album very soon. Until then, I am more than happy listening to the many songs from Future Nostalgia that caught my attention. If you love pop and haven’t listened to all of Future Nostalgia, you absolutely should. Highlights: Future Nostalgia, Don’t Start Now, Cool, Physical, Levitating (both versions), Hallucinate, Love Again, Break My Heart, Boys Will Be Boys, Fever, We’re Good, Prisoner, If It Ain’t Me, and Un Día.    … Expand

    Such a bright album that make you dance from the first second. Dua Lipa creates a wonderful disco atmosphere while listening to songs and you feel like all problems are really far away and all you need to do is to enjoy and dance. This album shows that Dua Lipa is still able to wonder and mix styles and vibes greatly! Excellent work!

    It's really good album. It's kinda like "Confessions on a Dance Floor" by Madonna, because it's pretty dancey album, and it got quite "worse" at the end.
    "Physical" and "Break My Heart" are the best songs on the album for me, they are dark and very addictive, and they have really great music videos!

    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.
