FutureNostalgia is a perfect record for this uncertain time.
Back then, she was offering up a step-by-step guide to help anyone trying to say no to a toxic ex, but now she’s here to make sure that ex knows his place, because amid the ‘80s synth-pop chorus and groovy bass line, she’s moved on, and she’s ready to get out on the dance floor again.
Dua followed up the release of “Don’t Start Now” with the futuristic dancercise-inspired song, “Physical,” and then “Break My Heart,” which features a glittery chorus over a staccato bass rhythm, just days before her album dropped on March 27. The aptly named album isn’t lacking in nostalgic references. Disco strings pepper the tracks, while thick, funky bass lines accent the singer’s tightly-produced vocals. Make no mistake, the international pop princess has come into her own on this record.
Most of the album’s 11 songs are a celebration of love without inhibition. While some might’ve expected a breakup album , songs like “Cool” delve into the feeling of a new love with a youthful, reckless energy. The song’s plucky synth and drum samples contrast with the bright, airy delivery of her vocals, while the coy, seductive track “Pretty Please” leans into the deeper range of her mezzo voice as she begs, “Pretty please /I need your hands on me /Sweet relief.
“Levitating,” a fun party track, and “Hallucinate,” a sticky sweet psychedelic song that features the singer wrapped up in an all-consuming, addictive love, don’t sound too far off from the Dua of her last album, albeit with even more electronic, dance pop influences. By the time she reaches the last track, “Boys Will Be Boys,” she contrasts a delicate orchestral arrangement with a complete takedown of the patriarchy. Withrecorded for this album, this song’s inclusion can’t be ignored. In just two verses she touches on mansplaining, sexual harassment, and male privilege before landing on the song’s catchy hook: “Boys will be boys, but girls will be women.”
