    Es muy buen album, pero le falta mucho, no creo que la calificación sea por lo grandioso de las canciones.

    Future Nostalgia se coloca como uno de los mejores álbumes del año. El pop puede estar tranquilo con una cantante como Dua Lipa. 10/10

    Sobrevalorado, y los maricones son una basura el hacer esto más alto de lo que es, no puedes convertir una hormiga a un elefante

    Not happy with this album. I really liked her first album but this doesn’t do it for me. A few okay songs but that’s about it.

It being a 10 song record means it’s nice complete record which keeps you listening through the whole thing. Brilliant writing and captivating melodies. Definitely Boys Will Be Boys is the best song on the record and Good In Bed is the weakest less appealing one… Expand

    Esse álbum é maravilhoso do começo ao fim, essa vibe retro bem anos 80 caiu perfeitamente na voz da Dua, POP PERFECTION e com qualidade obrigado Dua por nos entregar esta bíblia.

    This album is pure pop. It's an album that should come off as boring and unoriginal but somehow manages to be the exact opposite. Every track is well-placed and none are superfluous. Definitely one of the best albums that I have listened to in 2020. Certainly an album that I will be replaying time and time again.

    This would be a perfect 10 and my favorite album of 2020 if it was not for "Boys Will Be Boys". Such a weird turn in the tracklist. Stars know it's okay to have the last track on the album NOT be a slow ballad, right?

    With Lipa's sultry smooth vocals, synthy production and stupidly infectious singles tied with sumptuous visuals create one of the best albums of the year thus far. Mixing pop, R&B and disco, Lipa creates the perfect recipe for a Grammy... even Dua herself was aware of the cultural impact of this album - it will indeed be future nostalgia.

    Future Nostalgia is extremely disjointed and all over the place, but is made up for with the handful of amazing tracks.

    FAV TRACK: Pretty Please
    LEAST FAV TRACK: Boys Will Be Boys

    This album is written so perfect. Almost each song can be a potential single. The conception of "Future Nostalgia" is magnificently attractive, sometimes we all need a bit of nostalgia but with a future perspective. Dua Lipa & her team gave us these feelings and emotions. Such a great album!

    Excellent pop, but nothing new.
    'Good In Bed', 'Physical', 'Don't Start Now' and 'Break My Heart' are the best ones.

    Future Nostalgia represents a massive glow up from her already pretty good, self-titled debut. Any comments on blandness, being too generic, uninteresting have been completely nullified by this stunningly successful exploration of 80's disco pop. Like God damn, this album is good.

From the addictive baselines in Don't Start Now, Pretty Please and Break My Heart, to the Jackson 5 influenced Levitating, to the pure energy of tracks like Physical and Hallucinate - this album is everything a pop fan could ask for. But, the greatness of the first 9 tracks is what makes the average-ness of the last 2 so painful. Good In Bed is too crass and teenagery to be enjoyable, and Boys Will Be Boys is a cringey attempt at a female empowerment anthem. I'd be tempted to recommend putting the first 9 tracks into a playlist and tacking on a couple tracks from her first album to the end to close it off, because those last couple songs kind of ruin the listening experience for me. However don't get me wrong, this is almost a perfect album to me - and I'm not sure Dua could ever top this.… Expand

    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.
