Dua Lipa is doing her best to adopt an “everything happens for a reason” approach following the online leak of her new album Future Nostalgia.

“Late Late Show” host James Corden used the final minutes of his “Homefest” special on Monday night to speak out about his anxiety over the global coronavirus pandemic.

Dua Lipa’s second studio-album Future Nostalgia fuses lively electro-pop and disco sounds from decades past with new-school production, resulting in a remarkably fresh full-length product. While the 24-year-old notes that Madonna is one of the key inspirations for the album’s sonic stylings, she gathered influences from all across the board.

Dua Lipa has openly spoken about her experiences of sexism in the music industry.

Is it wrong, right now, to be as happy as Dua Lipa’s second album makes you? Is this any time to celebrate pop music at its most ebullient, when we should be bullish on meditation? Shouldn’t we be focusing our attention on weightier matters than how to all guiltlessly throw ourselves a solo disco party?

The streamlined aesthetic of Dua Lipa’s new album, Future Nostalgia, gives throwback funk and disco a boldface-and-italic redesign. Touchstones of 1980s synth-pop and ’90s dance music meld together with the bright, rhythmic hits of the 2000s—songs that played on Top 40 during the day and again as club remixes during weekend late nights.

Dua Lipa recently explained that she wants her new album, Future Nostalgia, to “sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine,” and perhaps nowhere is this more evident than on “Love Again.” The album’s 8th track features a prominent trumpet sample taken from a classic ‘90s UK hit: “Your Woman” by White Town.

A little earlier than initially planned, Dua Lipa has released her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. The record, which follows 2017’s Dua Lipa, was led by “Don’t Start Now,” “Future Nostalgia,” and “Physical,” as well as “Don’t Break My Heart,” which got a new music video earlier this week.

Need encouragement to stay in quarantine? Dua Lipa's got you! The 24-year-old British pop star released her new song, «Break My Heart,» complete with an oddly foreshadowing music video on Thursday. 

Dua Lipa has apologised to fans after her virtual album playthrough suffered a technical gaffe.

Future Nostalgia is an album of two halves – but possibly not in the way Dua Lipa had hoped.

Dua Lipa’s planned tour in support of her second album Future Nostalgia will now begin in January 2021.
