“powerful pop perfection from a star unafraid to speak her mind”
“Dua Lipa could have taken an easy path to sustaining her status as Britain’s most successful female pop star on album number two. A few Ed Sheeran co-writes, some savvy collaborations, 17 tracks (one for every Spotify genre playlist), a few on-trend lyrics about anxiety and skipping a party: deal sealed. But she’s done the complete opposite. The 11-track Future Nostalgia offers neither features no”
“Your self-isolation dance party soundtrack is here.”
“Despite not sticking the landing, Future Nostalgia is a significant leap forward from Dua Lipa's so-so debut.”
“Packing 15 producers into 50 minutes, the fun but overstuffed Future Nostalgia rework hopscotches between piano house, Baltimore club, and the kind of dance remixes that power Chelsea gay bars.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** Dua Lipa’s 2020 LP *Future Nostalgia* is so far, probably one of the most consistent dance-pop records of the decade. It’s filled to the brim with bangers, most of which I’ve heard without even realizing they were on this album. Special shoutout to the bass lines—they were very funky and made the album that much more enjoyable. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Future Nostalgia 🟢 2.) Don’t Start Now 🔵🥉 3.) Cool 🟢 4.) Physical 🟢 5.) Levitating 🟢 6.) Pretty Please 🟢 7.) Hallucinate 🔵🥈 8.) Love Again 🔵 9.) Break My 10.) Good In Bed 🟢 11.) Boys Will Be Boys 🟡 12.) Levitating (feat. DaBaby) 🔵🥇 13.) Fever 🟢 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
