Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa

Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa's second album, landed on Warner Records on 27 March 2020, a week ahead of schedule after the whole thing leaked online. The title is the thesis: with Jeff Bhasker, Ian Kirkpatrick, Stuart Price, the Monsters & Strangerz and Koz in the mix, Lipa built a gleaming disco and dance-pop record out of the music she loved as a kid, all rubbery basslines, strutting rhythms and synths buffed to a mirrorball shine.

"Don't Start Now" set the tone as the lead single, and "Physical", "Break My Heart" and "Levitating" kept the floor full. Critics swooned almost across the board. It gave Lipa her first UK number-one album, her first Mercury Prize nomination and the Brit for British Album of the Year, and at the Grammys it won Best Pop Vocal Album and was up for Album of the Year.
