Music Review: Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’

Dua Lipa is preparing something new for fans!

 Kelly Ripa  is a brave, brave woman. On the Monday, April 20, episode of her hit TV show Live with Kelly and Ryan, which she hosts alongside Ryan Seacrest, Kelly admitted to doing something many of us don’t have the courage to do: cut our own hair.

Another day in self-isolation means another opportunity to get creative, and no one seems to be taking that task more seriously than pop star Dua Lipa. The "Break My Heart" singer has been finding many unique ways to promote her latest album, Future Nostalgia, under these unique circumstances.

Protective face masks are becoming the norm as the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep across the U.S. However, with such a high demand and the nation’s health professionals in need of the surgical and N95 masks available, people are turning to DIY cloth face masks for trips to the grocery store and other essential errands.

While other artists have pushed their album release dates back to a (hopefully) less-turbulent time in the cultural landscape, pop star Dua Lipa instead pushed up Future Nostalgia to last week -- and was rewarded with her best week yet on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Dua Lipa is heading for Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with Future Nostalgia.

Which means it is sober-up time for Dua Lipa, who is currently holed up with US model boyfriend Anwar Hadid in London amidst the Covid-19 shutdown, reports thesun.co.uk.

The singer's second effort arrived last week

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.

On the heels of her new album Future Nostalgia being released, Dua Lipa is speaking up for herself.

Don't stop now - Dua Lipa is showing zero sign of taking her foot off the gas as new single Break My Heart completes a hat trick of Top 10 midweek entries for the singer on today's Official Chart First Look.

"People like to just objectify women"

Dua Lipa has already rang in the release of her latest album, Future Nostalgia, with a virtual party full of family and friends-- and her fans were eager to celebrate it by showing her love in this week's new music poll, too.

Keep Calm, because 5 Seconds of Summer isn't the only act coming in hot with new music this week.

New music Fridays are a thrilling, yet daunting prospect for any music lover.  It's essentially a weekly holiday where fan-favorite artists and fresh faces alike drop their latest offerings for all the world to hear, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural goodies.
