Dua Lipa is a pop star based in the UK that broke the American market back in 2018 with her hit song “New Rules.” Dua Lipa was under the radar for a while and wasn’t really seen as anything special in the industry. She was looked at as just another basic pop girl with basic pop songs, but she changed everyones mind with the release of her 2nd studio album Future Nostalgia. With the release of the lead single “Don’t Start Now,” people heads were turned as she took on an 80’s musical style, something that no “basic pop girl” has been doing. “Don’t Start Now” become a commercial and critical success in America, UK, and the rest of Europe. Dua then released two more official singles “Physical” and “Break My Heart” which garnered a lot more suspense for her album. When Future Nostalgia officially dropped on March 27th, 2020, it was a critical and commercial masterpiece. With a metacritic score of 89, it was one of the most critically praised albums released in 2020 so far. Despite the album being released during a pandemic, that did not stop the commercial success of the album, with the album becoming a blockbuster on the charts. The album’s title really represents the entire album because it takes elements from many different decades of music by giving it a modern twist. The album has been praised as one of the most cohesive and best pop albums to be released in recent memory. In my personal opinion, I definitely see the album garnering many notable awards in the next year and will go down in history as a defining album in this new decade of music. This album also officially solidified Dua Lipa as a main pop girl and someone to watch out for. A legend in the making.
