I’ve listened to the first minute of each song of the album (I caved). Levitating is the one i went back to and had to listen all the way through. GREAT track and was even happier when I found out Stuart Price was part of the production team behind it! (Stuart produced Madonnas Confessions album).

I don't think that the production credits have been revealed for "Levitating" yet, but it's known that Stuart Price co-produced "Hallucinate" with SG Lewis and it's rumoured that he also co-produced "Cool" with TMS.

Here we go! Gonna listen to this today.

[Ling-Ling]

I get delaying films, events, etc. But there's no need to delay music at this time. Especially given the promo she's done and the huge hit she's currently rocking. All of the gays stuck at home need music right now, more than ever (and the straight people too I guess).

The album is solid. Leaps and bounds better than her debut. Outside of the last two tracks (which both kinda stink, no lie), I like everything else a lot. Just a fun record.

[Normi]

^ Totally agree here
The album is amazing and it's kinda sad the last two tracks slow it down a bit, could have been swapped with Jealousy/If It Aint Me

I like how quickly they're reacting to the leak, their team is still pretty smart

[Deleted]

Good In Bed is basically a Lily Allen song which I don't mind

Boys Will Be Boys I actually do like bit I can see why others don't

Dua replied to my question!

Q: "What was your favorite song to record?"


Honestly that Live broke my heart, seeing her in tears was something I was not expecting, but lots of information came out of it which is good... also, we may be getting more live streams from her this week which is fun.

[Juan Carlos]

Independently of COVID-19 and the leak, I ironically find that her self-titled debut album was pushed back a lot of times and her sophomore album is brought forward instead. Also, checking back her Instagram live, she said she'd been very anxious and unsure of what to do and if it was the right time to drop music. Personally, I liked how she handled the situation and gave a measured and mature response to this crisis, hence the reason why she was clearly emotional and this wasn't because of the leak as some people are implying on social media.

Regarding the album, she said the following.

"The main reason this album exists is because I wanted to shut all of the pressure out, to make something that I was really proud of, that made me feel good, wanna dance, have fun. (...) I hope it brings you some happiness, and I hope it makes you smile, and I hope it makes you dance. I hope I make you proud."

We don't deserve her. <3

I cant believe this album got leaked, who is that idiot to share it, just be selfish listen to it yourself

[Juan Carlos]

In case you missed the Instagram live today, this is the summary you would like to know.

Yeah this album is amazing
Though I would swap out Good In Bed and Boys Will Be Boys with any of the following

- Ball and Chain
- If It Ain't Me
- Berlin Summer

[mamaloveme]

I hope she release new merch like SIGNED CD and PINK VINYL to boost sales！

"Boys Will Be Boys" is a great song (even though I've only heard it once) and I'm not here for the slandering.

I think it's due to the fact that "Future Nostalgia" is an 80's-themed record, and "Boys Will Be Boys" is so obviously a filler. Its like Ariana putting "Make Up" on Thank U, Next" and Taylor putting "London Boy" on Lover....all bops, yes, but they're obviously fillers and barely have anything to do with the overall point of the album.

[Juan Carlos]

"Break My Heart" is out this Wednesday at 4pm. PDT / 7pm. EDT / 11pm. GMT.

It sounds like a stripped down 80s song and it's very anthemic. I love it tbh. And you just made me listen to it again ugh!!!!

Billboard Hot 100: #3(-1) Don't Start Now, @dualipa [20 weeks]. *peak: #2*

[schnetzka]

This is the most excited I have been for a album for a while. Physical is my song of the year so far.

[Juan Carlos]

"Don't Start Now" falls from #2 to #3 on the Hot 100 this week.

Dua's Billboard Hot 100 peaks to date:

#2. "Don't Start Now"
#6. "New Rules"
#26. "One Kiss" (Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa)
#49. "IDGAF"
#60. "Physical"
#62. "Electricity" (Silk City & Dua Lipa)
#72. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)"
#76. "Scared to Be Lonely" (Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa)
#93. "Kiss And Make Up" (Dua Lipa & BLACKPINK)

Chart run: 30 − 46 − 42 − 37 − 42 − 42 − 42 − 52 − 21 − 14 − 14 − 15 − 9 − 9 − 6 − 5 − 5 − 3 − 2 − 3 − (...)

Dua Lipa's "Cool" opening reminds me of another song I can't wrap my head around and it's frustrating...anyone else knows?

[Deleted]

Will the other tracks like 'Ball & Chain', 'Jealousy', and 'Berlin Summer' be released as a part of a deluxe edition or are they just unreleased songs?

[Push The Button]

It's been so long since I downloaded a leak that I don't even know where to go look for one these days. I guess I can wait until Friday.

They are outtakes (two from Dua Lipa and five from Future Nostalgia) and none of them, probably "Ball and Chain" in a lesser extent, are going to be part of the second wind of the album.

[getonthebus]

Amazing album. Cohesive without being same-y. I even like Boys Will Be Boys, especially compared to other message songs from pop girls, it's great.

[avatar]

The album leaked?

Im not gonna listen... Im actually gonna wait for my cd to come in the mail, this ain’t Ava Max, cause in that case I’d be rushing to hear the album.

[Choco]

If anyone is willing to wait, kudos. Rest easy knowing the album is worth it. Zero skips on it (maybe "Boys will be Boys"?). The filler rate is zero. Not sure what the fourth single should be but there are a few worthy contenders.

Waiting.

"Love Again" and, most likely, "Levitating", after that.

The former was previously hinted as the fourth single and it seems that this is going to happen, while the latter is a possibility, but I think this will be happening too. I mean, I personally see a "Physical" / "Break My Heart" scenario in the US again, so I would say that "Love Again" will work as the next international single and "Levitating" as the third US / fifth overall single.
