    By the time ”Boys Will Be Boys” comes on, you have listened to an endless stream if pop perfection that will leave you wanting more. This is a cohesive masterpiece of pop music that shows that Dua Lipa is here to stay in pop music.

    Pop perfection. it's amazing how inventive and creative Dua became when recording this album. Nostalgic, yet so current, but also futuristic, all at the same time. I can see these songs, especially Don't Start Now, still being incredibly fresh and new sounding in the next ten years.

    Dua Lipa regresa por la puerta grande, con un 2º álbum repleto de éxitos y liberación para la pista de baile, un paseo muy fluido con enormes producciónes por la música dance más exquisita (y comercial) de la historia.

    Future Nostalgia is an instant smash, an anthem to some people. Dua took what was the best of the 80s and early 90s and made it modern in the way we all wanted!
    The main single - Don't Start Now was the best possible era opener with a fresh, yet nostalgic beat and fun lyrics. The physical was an amazing followup and Break My Heart is a song you will like because it's simply an earworm!

    The album is full of strong tracks like Love Again (my personal favorite, with great samples usage here). Cool, Physical or the main single - Don't Start Now. It's absolutely a smash! Great job Dua!

    Tudo que o pop estava precisando! Músicas dançantes, envolventes, batidas viciantes... É o tipo de album que a gente não sente vontade de pular uma música sequer! Meu destaques, além dos singles, vão pra Levitating e Hallucinate, onde o pop perfection se encontra no grau mais alto! ❤️

    Future Nostalgia is carefree, euphoric, effortless, like a rush of dopamine to the brain. One of the best pop albums of the last 10 years for sure, probably the most exciting overall. The first 9 tracks flow perfectly, then Good In Bed simply doesn't match the vibe and production of the other tracks, dragging the mood down a bit, and Boys Will Be Boys is a jarring ending.

    Nostalgia's the right term with throwback sounds to the 90s, but updated and without going over the top. A couple of songs are a little clunky in terms of lyrics. While I also like her debut album quite a bit, this is definitely a step in the right direction. Overall the sound is great, it's fun, and definitely danceable all around. Favourite track is Levitating.

In 2017 I was criticising Dua Lipa for her lack of stage presence and personality and now I'm suddenly buying tickets to see her live in Barcelona in 2021. Since her eponymous debut studio album she has evolved from a little girl who wanted to make music so badly that followed the rules of the pop game in order to make a timeless song with no essence into a full beautiful confident woman that will do whatever is in her hands to change the game. The work in this album is very satisfying. It tastes like freedom and glory made possible by the coordination of producers, mixers, graphic artists, record label and the voice behind it. "Future Nostalgia" is simply magnificent. The title is exciting, the cover art is very attractive and its content is diverse, catchy, touching and moody. Her voice sounds so confident and floating that there is no reason to doubt her. It really has songs that will age like fine Italian wine, a concept, a modern sound and a social message at the end. It just has everything an album needs to be perfect.
    I thought that pop royalty ended with Taylor Swift's '1989' six years ago but I was clearly wrong! Now that we have entered a new decade Dua is the most likely to define the game with this project and the upcoming ones. Since we are all home (I hope we ALL are home, if not, go home man what the ****), Dua Lipa has given us the best material to throw the most memorable clandestine house party to dance around with our beloved ones.
    A debut album gives you the right to play around with different genres and not making much of a cohesive album but the second is the one that will define your career, your professional future in the industry and well, her future feels brighter than anyone's else, no joking. Despite--or perhaps because of--its brevity (just over 30 minutes), "Future Nostalgia" is arresting in its tension, passion, and undeniable creative ingenuity. See so I just want to thank Dua Lipa for this perfect album, an undeniable pop masterpiece filled with the most enjoyable Swedish pop sound mixed with melancholic disco music that will for sure reinvent the music industry and save us from another male-dominated hip-hop era. "Future Nostalgia" will be remembered as a goosebumpic discotheque blackout; a collection of pop majesty to dance away your anxieties to; one of the best pop albums to be released in recent memory.

    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.
