    Dua really did THAT! The album title itself screams classic,and that's exactly what she delivered with this synth/disco dripped bedazzling experience.She threw classic after class left,right and centre.Bops for days,every song is single worthy.Takes you in the future with a heapful of nostalgia from the bygone era.A MASTERPIECE,POP PERFECTION

    Future Nostalgia is, no doubt, the best POP album of the year so far. However, it is not worthy of the 9-out-of-10 high score: the last two tracks sound rather mediocre.

    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.

    Future Nostalgia es un album excepcional que pone un pie en el pasado como en el presente. Son 11 pistas que te recordarán, inmediatamente, a los 90 con una frescura actual. Este es el disco que se esperaba para el que el pop vuelva a sonar y rugir como antes.

    MUCH BETTER than other pop releases from this year (and 2019 lol). Every song is cohesive with different messages.

    The nu-disco songs like "Levitating" and "Love Again" remind me of Blondie or Donna Summer meeting "High Horse by Kacey Musgraves." Physical "is still the only song that is not of my attention although I understand clearly his presence in this exquisite work of true pop. "Hallucinate" has the house vibe of the Chemical Brothers. And what about "Don't Start Now"? A hymn to independence.Thank YOU, Dua Lipa.

    Favorite tracks: "Don't Start Now", "Break My Heart", "Pretty Please" and "Love Again"

    “Future Nostalgia” ALBUM OF THE YEAR. Dua lipa presents a musical side that she has never shown, she has known how to mix modern pop with the old one, and it has undoubtedly been a fantasy. Talking about the lyrics, they are surprisingly good.

    Future Nostalgia surely will influence this new decade‘s pop. Not a single track to skip, each one is well placed throughout the album and the atmosphere just takes you back to the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. Surely one of the best works of the last years.

    Pop perfection. That's it. Miss Dua outdid herself. This is album is pop perfection from the beginning to the end. This masterpiece will stand out as one of the best pop albums of this decade.

    Where do I start with this album? It’s like riding a rollercoaster that never ends. Presumptuously starting with the title track, “Future Nostalgia” gives an electric feel backed with women empowering lyrics to directly address the patriarchal society of 2020. “Don’t Start Now” (the lead single of the new record), describes a heartbreak which Lipa is not taking to heart, dancing throughWhere do I start with this album? It’s like riding a rollercoaster that never ends. Presumptuously starting with the title track, “Future Nostalgia” gives an electric feel backed with women empowering lyrics to directly address the patriarchal society of 2020. “Don’t Start Now” (the lead single of the new record), describes a heartbreak which Lipa is not taking to heart, dancing through the storm. “Cool” is a fun little interlude which now shows Dua falling for someone else (we guess this is Anwar Hadid). It’s the coolest way to split up the two lead singles in the album. This song is also a double meaning, it seems as though it’s a song to let listeners cool down but in fact it’s literally the opposite. You cannot help but dance. “Physical” (the second lead single from the album) is called by Lipa as a “fun disco dance class” which is how everyone acts when they hear it. Fun and electric dancing with help from the 80s track vibe. “Levitating”, “Pretty Please”, “Hallucinate” and “Love Again” all have similar dancy vibes to them, with Hallucinate being the most viciously attacking on your joints because of its beat and rhythm. Pretty Please is more of a cool down song but still has the same vibes, calling her man pretty and begging for his love again, literally leading on to Love Again, which strings background makes the start sound like a ballad and a slower song, until the beat drops and she starts singing “I never thought that I would find a way out...But god damn you got me in love again”. Suggestingly aimed at her new lover, Hadid, the songs guitar and strings chorus hooks the listener to want more and more from this album. Moving on, “Break My Heart” (the newest 3rd single from the album) shows Lipa fully submerged in the love from her partner, even if it means he will break her heart in the future. She doesn’t think about the future in this song, only the present and the feelings she receives from him. “Good In Bed” swiftly follows on with these feelings and heightens them to next levels. It’s like going from dates (BMH) to literal sex (GIB). Good In Bed shows Dua’s maturity while also experimenting with new sound and lyrics. She has never done a song quite like this before, especially when she says “Yeah we don’t know how to talk, but damn we know how to f*ck”. Finally the outro song “Boys Will Be Boys” links back to the title track of Future Nostalgia, showing how masculinity has stretched to the fullest and now is scaring women (literally with them “putting keys between their knuckles when there’s boys around”). “I should’ve stuck to ballet” shows how Lipa is scared to be in the music industry which is based all around men in the patriarchal society we live in today (we which cannot accept is true). All in all, the sophomore album brings peace, dance and electricity all into one record. Congrats Dua! Expand

    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.
