    An unexpected pop album production with rich lyrics that don't fall for EDM repetitive stuffs. I haven't listened to her first album never been a fan nor a follower.

With this she's proven she deserved that best new artist Grammy.… Expand

    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.

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

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

    Dua’s sophomore studio album brings more of the same she’s done before. In terms of artistic growth there’s not much besides the disco-inspired sound that comprises this album. Little to no lyrical depth, and most songs feel like filler songs to an album with only 2 stand out tracks which are Don’t Start Now and Physical.

    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!

    I love this album. It's very much an homage to Kylie's 2001 album 'Fever' and Madonna's 2005 album 'Confessions on a Dancefloor'. I'd say there is at most one skipper 'Pretty Please', but that's at push. Very strong album- will be hard to top, mind you I said that about the debut, so anything is possible!

    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.

    I think it is a lot of impudence on the part of Dua to copy what The Weeknd started in the middle of this decade, by that I mean the synthpop sounds of the eighties.

    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.

    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.
