    Personally, it’s the best album of the year. It has a mix of new and old sounds that accomplishes the objective of the album. It’s fresh, has a variety of sounds and lyrics are great. I don’t know how many else album will be released in 2020, but I know none will be as good as Future Nostalgia.

    Awesome shift from her past album! Dua revives 80s disco banger after banger.

    The worst album of 2020 for now. It's so mediocre and generic. Her every song sounds the same. I expected something better

    How have people become so brainwashed by overhyped record labels campaigns? And critics that are payed to write reviews to help sell the artist? It’s just plagiarism everywhere, there’s nothing original about it and they all go out and promote this as if it’s genius. It’s a mix of so many signature sounds from other artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, S Club 7, LillyHow have people become so brainwashed by overhyped record labels campaigns?

It’s a mix of so many signature sounds from other artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, S Club 7, Lilly Allen, Michael Jackson... in every comment on YouTube people say “it reminds me of Rihanna shut up and drive” or “it reminds me of Madonna” I mean... yes it does!! it reminds of everyone but the actual artist that’s releasing the record!! At first I loved the cover, she looks stunning on it and seems really original but then even that is a copy from Madonna 1994 Versace campaign!! The artwork for physical is also copied from Madonna! I mean how come isn’t this out there?? And then this is being branded as some pop bible?? It’s like a CD cover of a bunch of songs. I understand she wouldn’t want to copy New Rules but at least that song/sound is hers!! And not some blatant copy of everything else. Such an obsession to become the next Madonna that there’s no originality whatsoever. And this comes from someone that loved her first album, a lot more authentic in my opinion. It’s mind blowing this is being praised this way and not actually criticized for how much she’s copying everyone else.… Expand

    Has a basic and boring sound that doesn’t become more interesting as you go throughout the album. Only good songs are physical and pretty please.

    Does not feel original and nothing we did not hear before. Unfortunately this is what sells today

    Pop music of this generation is very questionable, way too much hype for this. Charlie XCX gives me hope for the future tho...

    A parte alcune tracce principali, il suono è sempre lo stesso. Non mi piace proprio. Apprezzo il lavoro

    El álbum es súper básico, muchas canciones son muy parecidas a otras canciones de otros artistas y la letra se me hace mujer repetitiva. Me quedo con el disco anterior de dua lipa

    As músicas são bastante esquecíveis e clichês. Destaco a beleza do resgate nostálgico, mas está longe de ser uma obra que exalte a potência de Dua Lipa. Álbum mediano!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pesimo muy básico, canciones parecidas a otros cantantes, debería reinventarse un poco más y no ser básica, debe cambiar el estilo de música y cambiarse mas el look, un tinte no te Reinventa… Expand

    Dua Lipa managed to bring references from Madonna and Daft Punk in the 80s, I am in love with this work. We were able to see the evolution of Dua Lipa as an artist between his first and his current work in a splendid way.

    A perfect cohesive pop album with heavy influences of 80s disco. An album that is bound to make you get up from the couch and dance. Best pop album of 2020

    I honestly don't see all the hype around this project. It feels like an 80's pop knock off.

    Future Nostalgia really is the album of the year. Dua Lipa managed to bring songs with lyrics, sounds and cohesive vocals. I always ask myself and try to decide "which is the worst song on the album", but it is impossible for me to decide because all songs have their ups and downs, but they are complete and together they become a beautiful work of art (in this case, a musical work).

    Monotone album like same sound on all songs. Repetitive, nothings specials and not relatable in real life.

    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.
