Future Nostalgia is the second studio album by English singer Dua Lipa. It was released on 27 March 2020 by Warner Records, after leaking in its entirety two weeks before its original release date, 3 April 2020. Commencing work on the album in early 2018, Lipa enlisted writers and producers such as Jeff Bhasker, Ian Kirkpatrick, Stuart Price, The Monsters & Strangerz and others, in order to create a "nostalgic" pop and disco album with influences from dance-pop and electronic music, inspired by artists such as Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Moloko, Blondie and Outkast.

The album was preceded by three singles and one promotional single. "Don't Start Now" was released on 1 November 2019, as the album's lead single, attaining both critical and commercial success. The song became her first top three entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The title track was released as a promotional single on 13 December 2019. "Physical" and "Break My Heart" were released as the second and third singles, respectively. To promote the album, Lipa announced the Future Nostalgia Tour, commencing in January 2021.

Upon its release, Future Nostalgia received widespread acclaim from music critics, many of whom praised its cohesiveness and production.

Background and production

After the release of Dua Lipa: The Complete Edition in October 2018, the expanded deluxe edition of her debut album, Lipa announced a new single titled "Swan Song". On 24 January 2019, the song was released for the film Alita: Battle Angel (2019), and was met with moderate commercial success. In the same month, Lipa stated that she had been spending the past year in the writing process for an upcoming second studio album.[1] Whilst discussing the sound of the album, Lipa commented that it would be a "nostalgic" pop record that "feels like a dancercise class".[2] On the development of Future Nostalgia, Lipa stated:

What I wanted to do with this album was to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to make music that felt like it could sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine. [...] My sound has naturally matured a bit as I’ve grown up but I wanted to keep the same pop sensibility as I had on the first record.[3]

Following the release of its lead single "Don't Start Now", Future Nostalgia and its accompanying arena tour was announced in December.[4] Lipa stated that the album was inspired by artists including Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Moloko, Blondie and Outkast. She added that the album would feature "a lot more of a live element" inspired by touring with her band, but "mixed together with modern electronic production".[4]

On 29 January 2020, the singer revealed the album's cover art, along with its release date of 3 April 2020.[5] On 23 March, an earlier release date of 27 March 2020 was announced by Lipa, who expressed her concern about releasing music during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[6] The announcement also came following a leak of the album.[7] The artwork for the album cover was shot by French photographer Hugo Comte.[8]

Recording

Lipa began recording for Future Nostalgia in January 2018[9] and finished in February 2020.[10] She recorded upwards of nearly 60 songs during the album's production.[11] Lipa collaborated with producers Nile Rodgers,[12] Max Martin,[13] Mark Ronson[14] and Pharrell Williams,[15] however none of the collaborations made it to the album's final track list. One of the studios she worked at was Geejam Studios in Jamaica.[14]

Critics noted similarities between songs from Future Nostalgia and the work of artists such as Kylie Minogue[16][17][18] (pictured left) and Madonna[18] (pictured right), with Lipa citing the latter as an inspiration for the album.[4]

Musically, Future Nostalgia has been described as a disco-pop,[19][20][21] electropop,[22][23] and dance-pop[24] record with influences of pop-funk,[16] power pop,[25] synth-pop,[26] house,[27] new wave,[28] Euro disco,[23] neo disco,[29] dark synth-pop and R&B with Lipa's vocals.[30] Lyrically, the album has themes of moving on, empowerment, equality and emancipation.[31] Described by Lipa as a "dancercise class",[32] she took inspiration from music in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to create a "timeless modern-retro dance sound."[33][34]

Songs and lyrical content

The album's standard edition contains 11 tracks. It opens with its title track, which is a "playful and fun" pop,[35] electro,[17] and synth-pop[29] song with influences of disco and funk.[36] In the song, Lipa sings about female empowerment and confidence[19] while "talk-singing" compared to Kesha.[17] The following track and lead single, "Don't Start Now" is a blend of multiple genres including disco,[37] nu-disco[38], pop[39], dance[40] and Eurodance.[41] The song sees Lipa addressing an ex-lover about moving on from a relationship.[42] "Cool" is a joyous new wave[43] and synth-pop ballad[8] where Lipa "turns up the heat about being in the throes of a hot romance".[22] "Physical" is a "powerful club-ready banger"[44][45] that blends many pop subgenres including synth-pop[46], power pop[47], futurepop[17] and dark pop rock.[31] Lyrically, the song sees Lipa "feeling 'diamond rich' with her new lover, so keyed up on the honeymoon phase that she can't sleep".[48] The "dancefloor ready"[49] "Levitating", is an electro-disco[50][51] song where Lipa was compared to The Spice Girls.[20] The song features a "rubbery bassline" and "syncopated handclaps" where Lipa sings about a love that is "written in the stars".[19]

"Pretty Please" is a "stripped-back"[50] song that emphasises the bass, guitars and synths of the song.[50][19] It has been described as "70s disco to late '90s/early '00s dance-pop"[19] as well as a "seductive slow burner".[8] "Hallucinate", which was compared to the styles of Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga,[17] is a beach-pop, dance-pop,[8] synth-pop[52] and house song.[17] The song has been described as a festival opener and club closer.[53] The "dizzying dance-floor filler"[17] "Love Again" is a "pro-love" song that takes form in electro-swing pop, dance-pop and disco.[53][17][54] "Break My Heart" is about the "shoulda, woulda, coulda's" about Lipa's relationship choices[55] and being unable to resist the temptation of pursuing love.[8] The song has been described as dance-pop[17] and disco-pop in a "retro-futuristic" style.[55] "Good in Bed", Lipa describes as about "when good sex is the only thing that was holding two people together".[56] The song was lyrically compared to Lily Allen[20] and musically to Lizzo, being a funk-pop song.[17] The closing track, "Boys Will Be Boys", sees Lipa "take aim at sexual harassment, double standards and what it is really like to be a woman"[22] in the form of a baroque pop[17] and chamber pop ballad[57] set to a disco beat.[43]

Release and promotion

Distribution

The album was released on 27 March 2020, by Warner Records, Lipa's second to be released under the label.[56] The standard edition was released on CD, cassette, vinyl, digital download and streaming.[56][58] The vinyl was released on both a coloured vinyl and a picture disc[58] and the cassette was released in gold, pink, blue and yellow colours.[59] The album was also released with a boxset that contains a yellow 12" vinyl, a photography book from the album's photoshoot, an art print, a thank you note from Lipa, a tattoo replica of Lipa's "Future Nostalgia" tattoo, stickers and one of five polaroid images.[58] The Japanese edition of the album was released on CD on 3 April 2020, the album's intended release date.[60] It contains three additional tracks, two remixes of "Don't Start Now" and a remix of "Physical".[60] Lipa confirmed there would be a deluxe edition of the album with previously unreleased songs.[61]

The tour is scheduled to begin on 3 January 2021 in Newcastle, England, consisting of 21 announced shows.[4] The tour was posponed from its original 2020 spring-summer date due to the coronavirus pandemic.[63] On 30 March, 2020, Lipa appeared in a live stream on Homefest: James Corden's Late Late Show Special, and performed "Don't Start Now" from her bedroom.[64]

"Physical" was released as the second single from the album on 31 January 2020.[69] The song was acclaimed by music critics for its catchiness and production, as well as its accompanying music video based upon a conceptual diagram by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss.[70] It was also commercially successful, becoming her eighth top 10 entry on the UK Singles Chart and her ninth song to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100.[71][72] "Break My Heart" was released as the album's third single on 25 March 2020.[73]

Future Nostalgia received widespread acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 89 based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[77] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 8.5 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[78]

Writing for NME, Rhian Daly wrote that "Future Nostalgia is a bright, bold collection of pop majesty to dance away your anxieties to… if only for a little while".[19] Chris Taylor of The Line of Best Fit praised Lipa's direction for the album, saying "Future Nostalgia is an artist in total control. It's built on such an addictive carefree spirit that it's hard not to let loose and go with it. The greatest pop star of this generation? That's for you to decide. But Future Nostalgia makes a very convincing argument that Dua Lipa just might be".[50] Chris Willman of Variety praised the album's musical direction, writing "after calling it a great disco record, we might also call Future Nostalgia a great MTV-era album that just happens to be not of the MTV era".[83] Writing for Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos also praised the album's musical direction, writing "Future Nostalgia is a breathtakingly fun, cohesive and ambitious attempt to find a place for disco in 2020".[82] Jamie Parmenter of Vinyl Chapters praised Lipa's newfound sound, writing "Future Nostalgia is the kind of uplifting, empowering and forward-thinking music we all need in the world right now, with Dua Lipa's streamlined disco sensibilities playing a major part in her old but new sound" and "Her added maturity gives the record a more rounded sound than her debut making for the best pop record of the year so far".[84]

Writing for DIY, Elly Watson wrote "this album has proved: Dua will be going down in pop history as one of the best".[49] Laura Snapes of The Guardian complimented Lipa's choice of songs, writing "The 11-track Future Nostalgia offers neither features nor filler, and makes a strident case for Lipa as a pop visionary, not a vessel".[80] Michael Cragg of Crack summarised the album as "packed with full-throttle choruses, supple melodies and lashings of attitude, Future Nostalgia is a neon-hued sound of one of the world’s biggest pop stars smashing it out of the park".[85] In a positive review, Anna Gaca of Pitchfork commented that the album is a "collection of sophisticated, hard-bodied pop-funk" with "slick, Kylie Minogue-inspired disco".[16] Similarly, Craig Jenkins of Vulture commended the "sturdy" songs, also writing that Minogue and Madonna are their "predecessors" sonically. Jenkins concluded that Lipa has "only scratched the surface of what she's capable of".[18] In a positive review for Idolator, Mike Nied praised Future Nostalgia for being "a finely oiled machine" and "a testament to the transformative qualities of good music", adding that the record was "a rare case of all killer, no filler".[52]

Future Nostalgia debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart with 34,390 units, only 550 units behind 5 Seconds of Summer's Calm.[86] Elsewhere, the album opened inside the top five in twelve countries including the top position on theThe Official Finnish Charts, Lithuanian Albums Chart, the Irish Albums Chart and New Zealand Albums Chart.
