British Dua Lipa is perhaps the greatest international pop star we have right now. When an artist of this size release the album creates quite huge, digital ripple.
The first single from the album, “Don’t Start Now”, has, since november of last year passed their taktfaste march with generation Z on the video app TikTok.
Generation Z is used about the persons born between 1995 and 2010. This is also the generation that has changed the way music is developed and published on the. TikTok has seriously been a venue to watch out for when it comes to discovering new music, and is a song embraced by the great TikTok-users, are you verdensstjerne before you have had time to say “yeet”.
It is in so far interesting to see Dua Lipas modern interpretation of the 70s diskosjanger in the light of this meme-culture, which has helped to give her the closest rojale the status she now has.

This album for many listeners a first meeting with the disko, a genre that for the occasion, adapted to a modern sound. The album “Future Nostalgia” can hardly be interpreted as anything other than an attempt to get disko back to the youth.
The English 24-year-old has been inspired by the greats such as Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Blondie during the production of the 11 songs that comprise the album.
Tittellåta opens the ballet, and gives immediate associations to a random sammenrasket Eurovision-song with a fairly catchy chorus, and verses that feel like a never saw the little nod to Ke$ha hit with the appropriately named “Tik Took”.
Besides the tremendous, the previously-mentioned “Don’t Start Now”, experienced the first of the songs, unfortunately, as generic and pregløs montage-music: best Enjoyed together with highlight-clips from one or another footballer on YouTube.
Fortunately the lifted impression with the unashamedly catchy “Levitating” midway through the album. It is also here where the classic disko-the strings first come to its right.
The more minimalist “Pretty Please” also contributes to that album to some extent shows promising tendencies long enough to come out unscathed and optimistic until the infinitely boring “Break My Heart”.
the Song flashes out like a symbol of ubesluttsomheten that haunts the album a little too often.
“Break My Heart” is uambisiøs and pale 90-tallsdisko that cook soup in exactly one nail: Riffet from INXS-hit “Need You Tonight”, and in addition continues the ongoing, unlikely annoying trend where one says “heayt” instead of “heart”. Have all the young popvokalister learned to pronounce “heart” on a Brooklyn dialect that died out at the beginning of the last century?
well Well. It is not going to get away that even if the “Future Nostalgia” oscillates between the gray and generic attempt to mimic disko, is it evenly over a very well produced album with some catchy highlight.
It depends still about the TikTok-generation get the eyes up for diskoens the wonderful world of this, it is for pregløst and a little juicy.
It is not to sample into some old tunes and call it new disco, and when almost every chorus should be a proposal to klipperne behind the Premier League-promoene, one becomes quickly bored.
It is a pity, to hear an accomplished artist as Dua Lipas interpretation of diskopop is undoubtedly alluring.
