    Just perfect. The cohesiveness, the melodies, the lyrics, the retro-disco vibes brought up to date to current musical tastes. Dua lipa stepped up the game for the entire pop

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En medio de la cuarentena por el COVID-19 justamente algo que nos animará es lo que hacía falta, con canciones tan interesantes como Levitating, Good in bed y Break My Heart hace que por un momento se olvide la triste situación que se vive actualmente, me encantó y es algo que muchos artistas desearían poder lograr con su segundo trabajo discográfico … Expand

    I just want to say this is one of the best albums I’ve heard this year. From the 1st song to the last. It’s just a masterpiece.

    Dua Lipa nos dió un buen álbum, pero sin duda Physical se lleva toda la aclamación.

    this is one of the most sonically cohesive pieces of music released this year. Every song that is on the album has its own specific vibe but the bass line and the disco beats are consistent in every song. The only song i have an issue with is Boys will be boys. Not because of its political message. But it is more fitting to be a stand alone single then to be the conclusion to a discothis is one of the most sonically cohesive pieces of music released this year.

But i feel as though it needs not be an exit to a throughly upbeat and hoppy album full of bangers. She could’ve of placed it somewhere else (that i don’t know where) to make the sign off something like hallucinate or physical.… Expand

    the mix of current elements with pop perspectives from the 80s-90s is subtly well done. smart, well-planned and creative album.

    37 minutes of pure bliss. No dull moments, every song is a hit. Pop perfection.

    Not only does this sound new and different but it sounds retro as well. The use of a strong bass makes the tracks incredibly catchy. Dua Lipa has declared herself as a pop force

    I didn't like the discography because all song sounds same no versatility all songs are about love and breakup so I'm not feeling her album only Don't show up was good and definitely she is overrated with this album

    Fraco e superestimado, samples reutilizados, nada de inovador, um álbum totalmente copiado de outros artistas e sem identidade própria.

    It’s the album every modern artist should look up and learn, she took the best decision and bring a new/old sound back, I’m so proud

    The best nostalgic experience of the decade. Dua's effort on this album only clarifies what has always been true, Dua Lipa is here to stay.

    An incredible work, extremely cohesive to the proposed concept, from album covers and singles, clips already released so far and, of course, all the songs are all within what she set out to do. Dua Lipa proving to be very relevant in the current phonographic scenario.

    This album is INCREDIBLE. It manages to sound so new and fresh, while bringing back a wave of well... nostalgia to the 80s. This is going down in the pop history books, up there with Blackout (Britney Spears), 1989 (Taylor Swift) and E•Mo•Tion (Carly Rae Jepsen).

    This album is quite possibly the first album since Beyoncé's Lemonade (excluding all of Beyoncé's other work since obviously) which has the same replay value as Lemonade. This album is spectacular. Each song has got my hips going and just like Shakira, they don't lie. If you are going to buy an album, buy this one. BUY. THIS. ALBUM.

    My heart started to beat faster when i heard "Brake My Heart" the first time. I love the 80 's touch and the diversity of all tracks. I like most in the album when Dua 's voice scratches a little bit, for example in "Cool". In my opinion this album is insane and a full success.

    The rhythms in this album just make me move like anything else, last pop albums of other artists are just trap and hip hop stuff that makes me sick, the same thing everywhere. The 80's vibes are so cool

    Dua Lipa just won the year! She got the right way to do the literal best pop/disco influenced we've seen, since Carly Rae with E•MO•TION. I don't have words or adjectives to use as a description to these songs, her passion and compromise with the hole aesthetic era. I F* word love what she's just done here. AOTY WITH ANY DOUBT.

    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.
