    cheap. dua lipa needs to be stopped and finally be replaced by someone who gives QUALITY and not recycled tik tok music for the sake of radio and number #1s.

    Dua Lipa came with the best full-pop album after '1989'. Her voice sounds amazing, the production is insane.

    Rip off sound and melodies, awful lyrics, overrated artist who does too much payola. You can buy playlisting, radio and critical acclaim but you can't buy talent.

    Basic. This is what represent pop girls now ? First she is like no star 0 impactful and then the music ain’t nothing new, more of the same that we have hear ever since like Britney Spears, her success” looks very forced and paid by a record label that is trying so hard to make her happen

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una copia barata de los discos de Kylie Minogue, cada canción es una versión remasterizada de la anterior, y llega a ser irritante el hecho de que se haya usado tanto sample de otros artistas.

    ni siquiera quiero alargarme dando una explicación, porque claramente dua lipa es una artista sobrevalorada, pero es blanca y son los blancos los que ponen críticas aquí ¿no es así?    … Expand

    Nothing stands out rather than the production Which makes the entire album sound ok.
    Nothing much vocal nothing new.
    Just a lot of edm/dance samples

    It's just rehashed pop music. It's fine, but overhyped. There's nothing groundbreaking and I don't see anybody really remembering this album and its generic pop five years from now. The lyrics are subpar and the "instrumentals" sound familiar -- not in a good way, but like I could mistake them for any other pop radio hit. Pass.

    Ok I have listened to it several times and it is an excellent album but it does not fit the concept of this tragic year, something more melancholic and reflective is needed.
    I hope their songs can be danced in 2021 when the quarantine ends.

    With Lipa's sultry smooth vocals, synthy production and stupidly infectious singles tied with sumptuous visuals create one of the best albums of the year thus far. Mixing pop, R&B and disco, Lipa creates the perfect recipe for a Grammy... even Dua herself was aware of the cultural impact of this album - it will indeed be future nostalgia.

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

    This album is in no way fresh or different. Almost the entire album including artwork and promotional photos etc. can easily be tracked back to Madonna and her mega hit album Confessions on A Dance Floor. Lipa even attempts to recreate Madonna’s 1994 pictorial ad campaign for Versace. All in all the entire album sounds reductive at best.

    Fraco e superestimado, samples reutilizados, nada de inovador, um álbum totalmente copiado de outros artistas e sem identidade própria.

    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.
