    A perfect mixture of enhanced pop and disco music. Certainly would not go out-of-date for the next 30 years and still would enjoy it. Levitating and Hallucinate are two of more of her masterpieces.

    sophomore albums are either make it or break it, but future nostalgia never disappoints. with a similar concept to Taylor Swift — 1989, she successfully pulled-up a classic, disco-pop, bass-filled, nostalgic-sounding record.

    Cool is a song with a romantic summer-vibe on it, Levitating is a love-at-first sight type of song with bubbly disco beats, Hallucinate is about being crazy with    sophomore albums are either make it or break it, but future nostalgia never disappoints. with a similar concept to Taylor Swift — 1989, she successfully pulled-up a classic, disco-pop, bass-filled, nostalgic-sounding record.

    Cool is a song with a romantic summer-vibe on it, Levitating is a love-at-first sight type of song with bubbly disco beats, Hallucinate is about being crazy with someone while dancing in a 90s music fest, and Boys Will Be Boys is a ballad about female empowerment.

    this record is a time-traveling experience while delving into heartbreaks and falling in love again (Love Again), with empowering break-up songs (Don’t Start Now), and just full-on being wild at a party (Physical)

    hands down 5 out of 5.

    Dua Lipa demuestra porque sin duda es la promesa del Pop al traernos esta obra de arte, muy variada que nos recuerda mucho a la biblia que nos dio Madonna Confessions On A Dancefloor Launch Graphics.

    Dua serves disco beats and pop perfection. Every single track is different from the other. There are some stand-out tracks for me, they are "Hallucinate", "Don't Start Now" and "Good in Bed". Special mention to "Boys Will be Boys". Must listen

    Dua delivers as usual that unique, deep and truthful voice that makes you distinguish her as soon as she starts singing. Throughout the album we can actually discover that her voice is the real protagonist and I do really appreciate it. Her singing feels natural and raw but it is not.

Throughout the album we can actually discover that her voice is the real protagonist and I do really appreciate it. Her singing feels natural and raw but it is not. She achieves to have a voice that just feels true to what she is singing and makes the listener connect better and deeper with the song. My recommendation? Just let her voice flow into you and move you, get lost in it.

    This album serves as an example of a cohesive work that has been executed beautifully and thoughtfully, no detail was unfinished or unpolished. No song is a filler, she has chosen carefully to make every song count and thrive on its own. I can almost tell how many instrumentation was used in every song. The production is rich, beautiful (and expensive) but does not feel too much, its just the perfect companion and makes Dua's voice shine. It is an example of how sometimes, natural, minimalist but complex work perfectly.

    The lyrics are pretty straight forward as Dua is. However, it's due to its simplicity that we find the beauty and connection with them. Lyrics are bold, fearless, sexy and empowering. Dua has told many times she's not afraid to speak her mind and this album is a clear example of it. She starts and ends strong in the album; a bold, empowering "Future Nostalgia" to make clear she has not come to play but to show how it's done (and she shows it very well) and a melancholic, real and deep "Boys Will Be Boys" to end it to keep things real and getting us back to Earth after levitating with her album. Personally I do appreciate that the last song was "Boys Will Be Boys" as if Dua is telling us through the majority of the album to enjoy, be empowered and feel sexy but ends with a strong "never forget what reality is like". Very clever move Dua!

    All in all, I personally believe this album will lead the way of a new era for pop music and Dua will be a perfect and strong bold outspoken fearless leader, as it is a recap of every good sound that has been and a perfect start to pave the way for the new decade of pop. I perfectly see this album giving Dua's first Grammy for "Album Of The Year". Mark my words.    … Expand

    Future Nostalgia é um álbum que traz consigo uma vibe muito anos 80, com muita qualidade sonora e músicas viciantes e dançantes. O single "Don't Start Now" trouxe uma Dua Lipa que todos deveriam conhecer o quanto antes, e ela conseguiu trazer isso para o álbum todo, tornando-o sensacional. Maravilhoso!

    Dua Lipa, "Future Nostalgia" - Warner Records 2020
    Il "Ritorno al futuro" di Dua Lipa. Parte 1

    Il "Ritorno al futuro" di Dua Lipa. Parte 1
    Qualcosa è cambiato, s'intuisce già dalla copertina del disco: lei arriva (dal passato? dalla luna?) al volante di un'auto retrò, con un look che combina elementi romantico/nostalgici ma con l'aria di sapere esattamente dove vuole andare; e lei, Dua, le idee le ha molto chiare: resta da scoprire dove vuole portarci.
    Mi salta subito all'occhio un requisito fondamentale per un disco che aspira ad essere importante: la durata. Tutti gli album veramente importanti nella storia della musica durano meno di 40 minuti: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (39 min.), Pet sound (36 min.), Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (38:50), Are You Experienced (40 min.); con i suoi 37 min. e 17 sec. "Future Nostalgia" presenta ufficialmente la sua candidatura.
    Quindi ci troviamo per le mani un potenziale disco del mese? dell'anno? del secolo? Calma ragazzi: la durata "ragionevole" consente più ascolti, in breve tempo puoi farti un'idea, entrare meglio dentro il lavoro, cogliendo elementi che inizialmente non vedevi oppure ridimensionandone altri. Tuttavia questo è solo un requisito, poi ci vuole altro.
    Saltiamo a bordo e partiamo: un viaggio nel tempo lungo 11 brani (qualche "bonus" in più solo per alcuni mercati); ma anche un viaggio intorno al mondo, perchè il "veicolo" Dua Lipa non può misurarsi con dimensioni che siano meno del "planetario".
    Con la title-trak entriamo nel "futuro" musicale, immaginato da Dua Lipa con la complicità del "guru" californiano Jeff Bhasker che ne è anche il produttore; un futuro "prossimo" ma pur sempre futuro. Il brano è senza dubbio il più interessante, musicalmente parlando, di tutto l'album: base elettro-pop con ritmi sincopati che s'intrecciano su tempi composti, dove Dua dimostra versatilità e carisma nell'alternare un parlato quasi rap al canto. Testo ironico che sfida la dimensione "maschile", esibendo una consapevole posizione di forza.
    Curiosamente "profetico" il videoclip: storia di una relazione finita dove lei "parla" al suo ex accusandolo di non essere all'altezza, di non voler cambiare...
    In questo tempo triste, fatto di quarantene, di distanza forzosa tra le persone, vedere la nostra aggirarsi tutta sola dentro una casa grandiosa ma vuota, simbolo di una vita grandiosa ma vuota, produce un certo effetto di estraniamento: come essere naufraghi su un'isola tropicale deserta con in tasca il biglietto vincente della lotteria nazionale.
    A proposito di isole deserte; ieri sera mi rivedevo "Cast away" e pensavo a come sarà la vita dopo che avremo lasciato la nostra "isola": lui ha dovuto rinunciare a lei, perderla di nuovo e ricominciare una nuova vita in un mondo che non sembrerà più lo stesso, perchè lui non è più lo stesso; noi dovremo restare lontani due metri gli uni dagli altri, con una mascherina a coprirci metà della faccia e chissà per quanto tempo...
    Ne usciremo in un mondo cambiato, questo è certo, ma noi di quanto saremo cambiati? Sapremo considerare un cambiamento nelle nostre abitudini, consumi, scale di priorità, fino ad immaginare un cambiamento del nostro stesso modello di sviluppo?...
    Sarebbe ora di capire che la dobbiamo trattare un po' meglio questa palla di fango sparata nello spazio con noi sopra; è un rischio comunque e all'inizio sono dolori per tutti ma...
    "Continuare a respirare" dice Tom, continuare il viaggio, che non sai mai il domani dove ti porterà e forse, domani, potremmo riscoprire il valore profondo di un contatto fisico come una stretta di mano o un abbraccio.
    Continuo questo viaggio musicale e mi accorgo che non riesco ad immaginarlo se non di notte: tutti i brani evocano mondi notturni, milioni di piste da ballo, palestre, luoghi d'incontro dove la musica è elemento irrinunciabile; la luna stessa può diventare un'altra strobosfera che riflette i desideri, ne moltiplica l'intensità.
    A quei mondi Dua Lipa, dall'alto dei suoi 24 anni, appare come la nuova Dea della disco-pop music e con "Physical", altro vertice del disco, chiama il suo popolo per celebrare il mistero ed il fascino dell'eterno gioco dell'amore, della fisicità e, in definitiva, dell'essere giovani.
    Chi, come il sottoscritto, giovane lo è stato proprio negli anni '80 (quando Dua Lipa non era ancora nata) magari si ritroverà a pensare alla "spensieratezza" con la quale potevamo stare in bagno anche un'ora: a pettinarci i capelli allo specchio, mentre alla radio passano "Happy hour" degli Housemartins, prima di andare in discoteca, il sabato sera.
    E' quell'attesa, quel desiderio che precede il piacere, diventa il vero piacere; così aspettiamo: che finisca la quarantena, che torni l'estate, per andare ancora a ballare....(continua)    … Expand

    Future Nostalgia lives up to its name. Dua is able to entice the listener with a retro sound that makes the listener nostalgic of music from the 80s and 70s while also encompassing a futuristic vision of what music should sound like in the future. The album is a standout from those released this year and a front-runner for album of the year

    A couple of these tracks don't work, but the ambition and execution of her sound is immaculate. I can't remember the last time a huge pop album was this well-constructed. The first three songs are knockouts and "Pretty Please" makes me want to move every time I hear it. If there is a better, more clever pop hook in 2020 than "Boys Will Be Boys," I have yet to hear it.

I also enjoyed Dua's catchy and well written lyrics about Sex, Empowerment, Equality, Relationship Choices, and Emancipation. This album genuinely does not have a single bad track, every track features Dua's excellent songwriting, immaculate production, and top tier vocals! I was not a big fan of Dua Lipa before this album. While I liked her debut self titled album, it kinda left me wanting more, it almost felt like Dua wasn't utilizing her talents as well as she clearly can (which this album shows in a much better light). I had no plans of listening to this album on the first day of release, but after I saw the huge critical and musicophile acclaim the album was getting, I decided to check it out. And if you still couldn't tell by this point in the review, I absolutely adore this album. I am genuinely so damn happy to see this trend of mainstream pop musicians maturing and releasing their greatest bodies of work (Dua, Halsey, Ariana, Lana, Charli XCX, etc). This album is just another amazing body of work being added to pop music in the 21st century, and I couldn't be happier to witness it firsthand. In conclusion, this album is WORTH THE HYPE!!! Please check out this amazing sophomore effort from Dua Lipa as soon as you possibly can, I have a feeling you will completely fall in love with it!- Will Herren (April 22, 2020)… Expand

    Album sem graça, com alguns hits, porém nada de espetacular. Medíocre em todos os sentidos e conceito muito forçado. Não é ruim, mas não é bom, mediano.

    Lipa, she has shown power with everything, she has talent, it shows because she has a way of excelling, she dazzles, it is exciting to feel the rhythm, her Future Nostalgia album is a gem, with characteristics and small details that make it exceptional, it drags you to a new musical shot and reminds you that pop music still has hope

    'Future Nostalgia' is nothing more than the name promises. A collection of, now in demand, disco songs with retro qualities to them. Honestly, people that say this album is brave or trend setting in any way should listen to 'Charli' by Charli XCX...

    The album is like a perfect mix of old pop school and very modern sound with the vibes of what we expect in future pop-culture. It feels like this is standard of making pop-music for next generation pop-stars. Clear statements and super-catchy songs. Good job!

Don't Start Now, Physical and Hallucinate are some of the best songs to get along with the dancefloor, and the sound is never disappointing nor repetitive. Dua Lipa's choice of not inserting any featuring into this record pays off, because she always maintain the control over the attention of who's listening to her. However, the three ending tracks kind of left me unsatisfied: I appreciated Dua Lipa's struggle in not sounding redundant, which is however the reason why Break My Heart andGood in Bed sound quite weak and too familiar with other past pop songs; Boys Will Be Boys, instead, is definitely a good track, but I didn't get why it was put at the end of the record, where I did expect something more adrenaline, in order to leave the listener with a good feeling.… Expand

    La lírica es el punto más fuerte del álbum. El sonido no es nada innovador, pues es una mezcla de pop con sonidos de los 70's-80's. Aún así, es suficiente para decir que este trabajo es más sólido que su debut, así como una alternativa refrescante al exceso de trap en la actualidad. El dance se percibe de inicio a fin, pero esta sensación se corta con "Boys Will Be Boys", que es una joya,La lírica es el punto más fuerte del álbum.

    An instance where exceeding low expectations has had more impact on the reception of an album than the work itself. Is Future Nostalgia a solid sophomore effort from a BNA winner - an award that carries quite a bit of baggage in recent times? Absolutely.

FN is a cohesive body-of-work that adds diversity to Dua Lipa's catalogue and is filled with songs that fit 2020 pop music. To see it receive an 88 from critics is baffling, however, considering its only hit in the US was largely aided by a strong radio presence and nether followup as been able to resonate. An 88-scored pop album should be able to deliver more than 1 US Top 10 hit, and certainly more than 2 Top 40s. The success of those songs on the US Charts matches my reaction to the music perfectly: an average album with a few highlights > 1 Top 10, 1 Top 40, 1 Top 100.… Expand

    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.
