So. Dua Lipa blessed us at the start of the lockdown period with the release of her second album Future Nostalgia. I love her. But will I love this? Read it and weep. Because you have nothing else to do.
The title track nails the concept of the album. Itโs a bit Rocky Horror and has cool as fuck lyrics about being a female alpha. If you can listen to lead single โDonโt Start Nowโ without thinking of Tik Tok, the cowbells are severely underrated. Following is โCoolโ – a synth-pop dream with the genius Tove Lo on the writing credits.
The mid-section fillers are just that, I wonโt waste wordcount. โLevitatingโ is a highlight. Itโs very soundtrack-to-the-roller-disco-of-your-dreams. If you dream about roller discos. The newest single โBreak My Heartโ samples the INXS riff from โNeed You Tonightโ on bass which, like the original, absolutely snaps.
โGood in Bedโ is an inventive love letter to a toxic relationship harking back to 2006 Lily Allen. It spirals beautifully into the end track โBoys Will Be Boysโ. This is the star for me. A sincere but clever baroque pop ballad about toxic masculinity. โBoys will be boys, but girls will be womenโ = KILL SHOT.
