Dua Lipa drops new anthem "Future Nostalgia"
Dua Lipa is back with new single "Future Nostalgia", the title-track from her forthcoming second album of the same name.
"Future Nostalgia" is the second single to be shared from Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia album, after November's comeback single "Don't Start Now".
Speaking about the new track, Dua Lipa says, ""Future Nostalgia" is my album title-track and is a little something to tide you over 'till the New Year. I wrote this one with Jeff Bhasker and Coffee one afternoon in LA. It’s all playful and fun and not taking ourselves too seriously but we loved it so much we wanted to share it with you."
Expanding on her follow up to her 2017 self-titled debut album, Dua Lipa says, "What I wanted to do with this album was to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to make music that felt like it could sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine. I was inspired by so many artists on the new record from Gwen Stefani to Madonna to Moloko to Blondie and Outkast, to name just a few."
Dua Lipa adds, "Because of the time that I’d spent on the road touring with my band I wanted Future Nostalgia to have a lot more of a live element, but mixed together with modern electronic production. My sound has naturally matured a bit as I’ve grown up but I wanted to keep the same pop sensibility as I had on the first record. I remember that I was on my way to a radio show in Las Vegas thinking about the direction for this new record and I realised that what I wanted to make was something that felt nostalgic but had something fresh and futuristic about it too."
