    An almost perfect pop record. The lyrics are the definition of brilliant pop songwriting: managed to be direct, catchy, short, and repetitive yet it's able to deliver the message and emotion. Combined with the big 80s and 90s themed productions, the first 9 tracks are definitely Dua Lipa's best songs by far.

    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!

Las ventajas que se pueden encontrar en "Future Nostalgia" es que aquella memoria de los 80s se adapta con efectividad a la demanda actual de Pop y fácilmente impulsa a sys fanáticos a bailar y cantar sobre amor y desamor con algo de empoderamiento. La voz de Dua Lipa se mezcla bien con la producción y varias canciones serán agradables de revisitar gracias a productores como Ian Kirkpatrick, Stuart Price, el gran SG Lewis, watt y The Monsters & Strangerz. En general, aunque no es nada espectacular, lo que Dua Lupa hace bien en su nuevo álbum es unir aquello que no se debe de perder de la esencia de los 80s con la calidad musical actual.

    Even if the new album of Dua Lipa is very average and her Pop doesn't propose something new, what she achieves along with 11 producers is to expand the concept of Disco, Retro-Dance with futuristic sounds and bring it back 40 years after. The advantage that can be found in "Future Nostalgia" is that 80's memory well adapted to the actual Pop demand and easily inspires its fanatics to dance and sing about love and heartbreaks with some empowerment.

    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.

    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.

    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!

The 2 greatest aspects of this album are it's amazing production, and its excellent cohesiveness, every song feels completely necessary and every track flows together so well. 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

    the carefree, youthful feel this has is somewhat refreshing and great. not everything has to have a deep meaning or serve some big purpose, some things are perfectly fine being cheerful and fun -this is one of those things. my only complaint here is that BWBB should've been replaced with either Berlin Summer or If It Ain't Me, but by no means does one song take away how good FN is.

    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)

    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.

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.

    She wanted to change the game and she did. Dua is the perfect pop star who deserves all the success she is getting. She works hard and it shows. I love everything about this album from the concept to the visuals. An amazing pop era.

    One of the best albums and the top 3 pop albums of past 10 years. Fantastic production , timeless songs and a very unique grainy yet smooth amalgam of Dua Lipa's voice. This album is a treat. It's timeless. Just almost like the TPAB of pop right now . So unique, yet groovy and danceable. Fantastic.
    My new favourite pop artist. This doesn't seem like an ephemeral choice. Worth the time

    Dua Lipa's voice doesn't sound special at all for me but she managed to put together her masterpiece. The disco influence and the instrumental make this album probably the best one of 2020 so far. It could be way better if you just cut out Good In Bed, though.

    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

    ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2020! Future Nostalgia is a pop perfection with a genre of 80-90s disco pop with highly influenced by madonna & kylie minogue. The album will make you can't stop jamming to it. Dua Lipa always serve a best quality pop music & her discography will never aged. Dua Lipa is truly a 'main pop girl' material.

    Dua Lipa, "Future Nostalgia" - Warner Records 2020
    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    Dua Lipa, "Future Nostalgia" - Warner Records 2020
    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

At first I loved the cover, she looks stunning on it and seems really original but then even that is a copy from Madonna 1994 Versace campaign!! The artwork for physical is also copied from Madonna! I mean how come isn’t this out there?? And then this is being branded as some pop bible?? It’s like a CD cover of a bunch of songs. I understand she wouldn’t want to copy New Rules but at least that song/sound is hers!! And not some blatant copy of everything else. Such an obsession to become the next Madonna that there’s no originality whatsoever. And this comes from someone that loved her first album, a lot more authentic in my opinion. It’s mind blowing this is being praised this way and not actually criticized for how much she’s copying everyone else.… 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.
