    Dua lipa surpassed herself but it is a very commercial album, with the same sounds as always, I'm sorry but this is not the masterpiece that everyone thinks.

    Álbum pop en todo su esplendor. Parece que Dua no tiene límites y nos ofrece además de un álbum vocal increíble, una propuesta visual cuidada al máximo detalle. Ella está salvando la era pop de los últimos años, ojalá siga así.

    One of the GREATEST pop albums of all time. Dua Lipa has reinvented herself in one of the most fascinating ways I've ever seen. The album perfectly mixes 70s sounds, 80s synths and modern dance and house music. Its extremely innovative and is the perfect combination of great music for the critics and catchy radio pop perfection for the masses.

    An amazing sophomore album! A well deserved grammy award. Don't start now was a huge lead single, but basically Physical and Break my heart did also amazing. Levitating is my favorite song tho, overall a really good job

    Son pocos los álbumes que te enamoran cuando lo escuchas por primera vez, este es el caso de Future Nostalgia. Todas las canciones del disco son un BOP. El mejor disco del año.

    Mejor álbum del año, consigue tener un sonido nostálgico pero tan bien trabajado que suena a actual, completamente bailable, can table y disfrutable, solo es Dua Lipa saliendo de su zona de comfort después de su primer disco tan aclamado.

    Avec un album qui réussit à ramener le disco, la musique rétro du passé et à le mélanger avec la nouvelle génération de pop, je vous félicite, Dua Lipa, vous avez produit l'un des meilleurs albums de 2020.

    Is it too early to say Dua Lipa is the next Queen of Pop? Many would say no, but only time will tell. If she continues with such success, that time will be generous to her.    … Expand

    Love the 80s vibe . Some songs are so well made and sound exactly like the title . Futuristic but nostalgic .

    Future Nostalgia is a great improvement from Dua Lipa's debut self-titled album. Filled with tracks impossible not to move to, this LP is sure to not disappoint.

    Favourite tracks: Future Nostalgia, Don't Start Now, Physical, Levitating, Love Again, Break My Heart, Boys Will Be Boys

    Least favourite tracks: Good In Bed, if I had to pick one.

    It's just rehashed pop music. It's fine, but overhyped. There's nothing groundbreaking and I don't see anybody really remembering this album and its generic pop five years from now. The lyrics are subpar and the "instrumentals" sound familiar -- not in a good way, but like I could mistake them for any other pop radio hit. Pass.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was just a great pop album. I liked Dua but i did not think her debut was good, apart from a few catchy singles. This album is much more cohesive and consistent and it borrows from the same era of dance pop and synth pop. The songs are well written and the choruses and hooks are just so good. Most of the songs are about love in various forms or situations. The opener , Future Nostalgia is a nice pop song about a female alpha, a feminist banger it is. Don't Start Now is my favorite song by Dua ,a disco jam which is also really empowering.I think the bridge on this one is so good, just makes me wanna dance. Cool has a really nice bass and some R&B feeling to it as well. The chorus is larger then life. Physical, another highlight for me has an anthemic chorus and some very great production, i love the spoken lines as well. Levitating is another highlight with a giant chorus and post chorus and the bridge is so memorable. Pretty Please is also a very slick song with some nice guitars, in which she begs for attention from a new lover. Hallucinate is a disco song in which she describes how a lover is making her go crazy with love. Love Again also deals with the feeling of being in love again after a horrible heartbreak. It sounds very classical and has some violins i think. I love it ! Break My Heart also talks about the same subject matter of a new love, feeling vulnerable at the beginning of a new relationships. While i like the production and overall subject matter of Good in Bed, i don't care much for the repetitive chorus. Its a song about a couple that uses sex to fix the problems in their relationship instead of facing those problems head on. Its unique in being the only song about this issue on the album. I do like the shift in subject matter at the end with this song and also the last song, Boys will be boys. I love the moody nature of the song and balladry, the chanting chorus and the drums at the end. It deals with themes of sexism, double standards and toxic masculinity . These are very heavy themes in comparison with the rest of the album it is such a befitting ending to a great album.… Expand

    One of the best pop albums released this century. Every song has its own concept that fits so well with the future theme. Dua has proven she's a main pop girl in the making.

    Nothing stands out rather than the production Which makes the entire album sound ok.
    Nothing much vocal nothing new.
    Just a lot of edm/dance samples

    Dua Lipa proved through this masterpiece that not only is she someone with only a few years in the music industry, but that she truly knows what she is doing. This is reinvention, and of very excellent quality.

    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.
