Most artists now choose to release their album at a later date, but Dua Lipa (24) withdraws her album Future Nostalgia right in the middle of the corona crisis. Reviewers agree: fortunately, we are not yet rid of the young singer.
EAR – ‘Undoubtedly score millions of plays on Spotify’
“Don’t Start Now and Physical were already big hits and half of the tracks on the album are at least as catchy. Anyway, we can figure it out by her sample of hits Your Woman from White Town – Love Again add. But also the Prince-like Levitating, Pretty Please and Good In Bed will undoubtedly score millions of plays on Spotify. “
Vulture – ‘Dua Lipa always hits the spot’
“As a writer, Dua Lipa always hits the spot. Future Nostalgia listens nicely and is a burst of tunes about falling in love with someone, or putting someone aside. Fans of New Rules will respond delighted if they Don’t Start Now and Good in Bed to hear. The latter is about feeling physical attraction for a handsome, but stupid partner, reminiscent of Lily Allens lyrics Smile. The songs about falling in love are euphoric. Cool is a worthy successor to the songs of the Jonas Brothers and Gwen Stefani of the same title. “
The Parool – ‘Grabs you from the first beat’
“In between is Future Nostalgia a glorious pop album on which Lipa looks at the music of her youth with a look from now on. A touch of disco, a pinch of funk and a dot of eighties pop. The highlight? Difficult to choose, however Love Again – with the previously by White Town (Your Woman) used sample of the trumpet part of My Woman from 1930s star Al Bowlly – is irresistible. Or maybe the Chic influenced roller disco Levitating? Future Nostalgia grabs you from the first beat and doesn’t let go. “
Esquire – “No time for tears”
“On Future Nostalgia is no time for tears: either Dua is happy and in love, or she says goodbye to someone. Even when she describes how she felt powerless in a new relationship, she does it like a true queen: “God damn, you’ve got me in love again.“She has taken her second form which is her strongest immediately: the alpha woman she describes in the title track.”
