    Perfect pop album. Songs flow so smoothly, it's hard not to jam to it. Loved each and every song on it especially levitating and boys will be boys.

    Dua Lipa showed tremendous growth on this album, there are no fillers and it's very cohesive. They all fit perfectly but still can stand on their own. This album is the definition of pop perfection and is one of the best albums released this year.

    Future Nostalgia is arguably one of the most innovative and interesting pop records in years. From the 80s disco single, 'Don't Start Now' to 'Physical', to the bass-thumping 'Break My Heart', the singles are all GOLDEN. She established herself as a pop star who means business. She's making the music and she doesn't tire you out of the experience until the very last track. Amazing.

    Dua Lipa released her new album, which, even before its release, presented several potential hits, such as Physical, Break My Heart, and the hit Don't Start Now. the title track, like the whole album, is saturated with the style of the 80s, this is the sound that many artists of the XIX century tried to achieve, but so far only Dua Lipa could do it. This is an integral record that talksDua Lipa released her new album, which, even before its release, presented several potential hits, such as Physical, Break My Heart, and the hit Don't Start Now. the title track, like the whole album, is saturated with the style of the 80s, this is the sound that many artists of the XIX century tried to achieve, but so far only Dua Lipa could do it. This is an integral record that talks about feelings, love, emotionality.each track of the album, namely, Cool, Levitating, Hallucinate, Love Again, Good in Bed, Boys Will Be Boys, has awesome arrangements, and the sample in Love Again gives him an impetus for further development. Pretty Please is the calmest song on the album. This composition gives us pleasure and a little rest after the explosive Physical, Don't Start Now and Levitating.
    In this album it is impossible to single out a really strong song, because each of them has its own originality and is worthy to become a new hit! Each song on the album has its own unique charm!
    This album is entitled to be called the best album of 2020, thereby strengthening the position of Dua Lipa as the best pop icon of our time !

    This album was everything I expected from Dua Lipa. The three singles did full justice to the album and hyped me for more. All of the songs were dynamic, unique and full of innovative sounds. She experimented with something new and it turned out to be a huge success. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves for this masterpiece.

    Living up to its name, Future Nostalgia gived us a well-crafted body of work that is powered by nostalgic 80s-90s-inspired instrumentals alongside a more confident Dua especially vocal-wise. This is, by far, the best album of 2020 in my opinion (as of March 27, 2020). The best tracks in my opinion are Physical, Don't Start Now, Future Nostalgia, Break My Heart and Love Again.

    Dua Lipa at her best! The album contains a collection of great songs. In times of pandemic, the record comes as a good help to try to have fun and be distracted. In addition to the singles, "Hallucinate", "Levitating" and "Love Again" are the gems of the album.

    While in the era of her first album, Dua Lipa was trying to find her sonority, in Future Nostalgia, the 24-year-old singer can immediately identify who she is and what she wants to do.
    Future Nostalgia turns out to be one of the most cohesive albums of recent times, serving bop after bop! Even the songs that come out a little bit of the disco pop style, fit perfectly

    It's really good album. It's kinda like "Confessions on a Dance Floor" by Madonna, because it's pretty dancey album, and it got quite "worse" at the end.
    "Physical" and "Break My Heart" are the best songs on the album for me, they are dark and very addictive, and they have really great music videos!

    Listening to it was a real pleasure. I've been in tears, I've been dancing alone in my bedroom, I've been smiling so hard, I had so much joy, and I just forgot all the problems around me. Right now we are living in a hard time but I could forget all these bad things while listening to this album. it was like a cure, so I would like to thanks

    Listening to it was a real pleasure. I've been in tears, I've been dancing alone in my bedroom, I've been smiling so hard, I had so much joy, and I just forgot all the problems around me. Right now we are living in a hard time but I could forget all these bad things while listening to this album. it was like a cure, so I would like to thanks Dua for this. The production, the instrumental and the vocals are perfect. So much melodies (love the violin parts in some songs), so much things to heard in each song but it's never "too much", every little thing is well balanced. I loved every song on the album (a little less "Good In Bed" but it still wasn't bad at all!). My favorites are definitely : "Don't Start Now" ; "Physical" ; "Break My Heart" ; "Levitating" and "Hallucinate" (what a song, I almost died). "Future Nostalgia", "Cool", "Pretty Please" and "Love Again" are excellent too. Good beats, good production. Then there's "Boys Will Be Boys", which hasn't the same 'disco/retro' vibe of all the previous tracks but it is still special and good in my opinion (and reading the lyrics is important to understand the message behind. I'm a man but I didn't feel offended at all, I understood clearly what Dua wanted to say.). There's no skip for me.

    I just wish the album was longer, but we get what we get, I'm still satisfied. I'm proud of Dua, because she did an amazing job with this era and this album. The 'disco' genre fits her perfectly. I really love when an album has a universe and a whole theme behind. The title/theme 'Future Nostalgia' fits very well what the album is about. Dua brought back 'disco/retro' genre (nostalgia) and made it feel modern (future). She even sampled some parts from old/disco songs, she modified these parts and created new modern songs with. So she did what she had to do, and she did great, that's all I've to say about this.

    Very happy for her, very satisfied about this album.
    I'm not even scared to say that 'Future Nostalgia' is probably the Album of the Year (at least, it is for me!).

    essa é a review mais difícil que escrevi esse ano, porem esse é sem duvidas o melhor álbum que ouvi até agora. acredito que Dua Lipa finalmente encontrou sua área confortável e maravilhosa como cantora e compositora, desafiando/superando o seu trabalho de estreia e todas as tentativas de outros artistas de trazer de volta um genuíno ato do pop e da disco music.
