    This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. She broke the sophomore album curse so effortlessly with this masterpiece of an album. The 80s disco vibes are everywhere and this sounds like a Madonna or Kylie Minogue record. Dua is truly the new supreme.

    Uma estrela pop em ascensão demonstrou que, dentro de uma galáxia, há muito pra se explorar. Suas faixas soam como uma bela repaginada no cenário atual do POP em geral. Estamos conhecendo seu estilo, ansioso pela Dua Lipa do futuro 3° album. Mas, por enquanto, curtam esse conjunto de melodias polidas com multa coesão e fluidez.

    Dua Lipa’s sophomore album Future Nostalgia comes at the right moment. In time where pop music sound the same, repetitive and is slowly falling off the charts.
    Every song is so different from the others, but all of them have a little funky disco shine which makes you dance, not knowing how to stop.

    One of the best pop albums in a long time. Dua Lipa gives us all disco-pop vibes that both give us throwback vibes as well as sounding like what pop music will be like for the next decade. Many of these songs will be played at clubs and parties and everyone will be dancing along. Such good vibrations! A perfect pop album.

    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.

Mamães Madonna, Kylie, Gaga, Britney e Gwen Stefani já podem descansar e ficarem tranquilas que o legado da música Pop vai ser muito bem segurado a partir de agora. Bíbiia aclamada sem músicas ruins e álbum mais aclamado do ano!
