    The album really encompasses its theme, 80's dance/pop/disco vibe which it doesn't really care for any statement, but it is a pop album that is a feel good and makes you want to jump and dance to it.

It exceeded my expectations; it was a great comeback! From Future Nostalgia up until Boys Will be Boys, you would get hooked. All songs makes you want to groove at its disco-esque beats. Overall, it is a great album and good job to Dua! Expand

    I remember when I first listened to Dua Lipa’s music, and I thought, this is the typical pop music from a girl that is going to disappear really fast. But NO, you showed the world what you are capable of. This album is hands down the best in 2020 so far.

    This album is so amazing. We know she had the pressure of the “second album would it be better than the first one?” Well, hell yeah. SHE NAILED IT. So Future Nostalgia is the best album so far in the 2020. The new queen of pop is coming.

    This album is disco pop perfection. It was able to combine elements of funk, disco, and pop together and giving it a modern twist. Every song is fantastic and each one of them carry a different style or sound that smoothly goes with the rest of the album. This could become a modern pop classic. Good job, Dua Lipa!!

    Dua Lipa's rhythm and voice makes us want to dance wherever we are. Everything is perfectly produced and the catchy songs aren't a trouble at all. Definitely will be a great nominee (and the possible winner) for the Album of The Year at the Grammy's 2021. One of the greatest albums of 2020 without a doubt.

    Dua Lipa's second major release is a disco, party, dance album and (I guess I'm doing one word descriptions of albums now) this one is GROOVY. Drawing influences from the Prince to Gwen Stefani, this thing is full of clean bass riffs, disco flourishes, and some killer hooks. Lipa's voice particularly surprised me whenever she reached into her lower register on this thing.

Drawing influences from the Prince to Gwen Stefani, this thing is full of clean bass riffs, disco flourishes, and some killer hooks. Lipa's voice particularly surprised me whenever she reached into her lower register on this thing.

    Where I stopped enjoying this track list quite so much was in the final two songs where, on top of off-putting lyrics, I found the song structures to be mind-numbing. Also, it's nit-picky, but listening back to the title track on this thing, the Squidward-esque "fuuuturre" whispering came off kind of annoying. Otherwise I love that track.

    Those gripes aside, I really love the rest of this album, the singles being particular highlights.

    Future Nostalgia is effective in both invoking nostalgia and creating something fresh. The samples are warranted and doesnt sound like a cheap gimmick and actually makes use of it in a fresh new perspective. The songs are very dance club appropriate with some slower beat-heavy songs.
