    By the time ”Boys Will Be Boys” comes on, you have listened to an endless stream if pop perfection that will leave you wanting more. This is a cohesive masterpiece of pop music that shows that Dua Lipa is here to stay in pop music.

    Pop perfection. it's amazing how inventive and creative Dua became when recording this album. Nostalgic, yet so current, but also futuristic, all at the same time. I can see these songs, especially Don't Start Now, still being incredibly fresh and new sounding in the next ten years.

    Dua Lipa regresa por la puerta grande, con un 2º álbum repleto de éxitos y liberación para la pista de baile, un paseo muy fluido con enormes producciónes por la música dance más exquisita (y comercial) de la historia.

    Future Nostalgia is an instant smash, an anthem to some people. Dua took what was the best of the 80s and early 90s and made it modern in the way we all wanted!
    The main single - Don't Start Now was the best possible era opener with a fresh, yet nostalgic beat and fun lyrics. The physical was an amazing followup and Break My Heart is a song you will like because it's simply an earworm!    Future Nostalgia is an instant smash, an anthem to some people.

    The album is full of strong tracks like Love Again (my personal favorite, with great samples usage here). Cool, Physical or the main single - Don't Start Now. It's absolutely a smash! Great job Dua!    … Expand

    All of the songs are good. There's a little bit of everything and the beat hits hard.

    Tudo que o pop estava precisando! Músicas dançantes, envolventes, batidas viciantes... É o tipo de album que a gente não sente vontade de pular uma música sequer! Meu destaques, além dos singles, vão pra Levitating e Hallucinate, onde o pop perfection se encontra no grau mais alto! ❤️

    Best album of the year so far! The 80s-inspired production is on point while not overkilled.

    Dua Lipa makes good songs but nothing new or fresh. Sounds generic but it works

    Best pop record in years...Finally someone stepped up to the plate and it wasn’t Gaga or Katy or Madonna. It was a random yet successful dua lipa, I’m proud?

    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.
