Eras Analyzed: Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia

[@TheBlackPanther05]

Future Nostalgia: The Pop Bible of the 2020s thus far.This era was a MOMENT. You literally just HAD to be there

[@naomi.cannibal]

And did!! What a moment

[@kensongillis9249]

This era was so good like I remember when it dropped and this was album of the year to me😍🔥❤️

[@signingoffbye]

[@Greybell]

This and After Hours literally changed the moody 2010s pop to disco.

[@joshlikesfries]

Dua lipa had a lot to prove during this era here’s a list -beating the one album wonder -breaking the best new artist curse -managing to keep her head up after this album getting leaked -and ofcourse improving her stage presence Miss Dula Peep really outdid herself.

[@petrvarfolomeev1993]

Feels like it's the 2020s' "Teenage Dream"

Dua really acomplish her mission on bringing pop back with this era.

It didn’t lol stop the lies

[@g.g.2102]

This is probably one of the best rollouts ever. Every music video, single, song, remix, visuals, touring, merch… everything was on point. She might be one of the best pop stars ever also very humble. I love her.

[@TheMG20089]

This era and album is what boosted dua lipa career

[@tylerhackner9731]

Man, this was SO needed as we headed into absolute chaos. This was a true ERA. A moment. Turning 18 during the pandemic was crazy, but at least we got good music out of it (Future nostalgia, after hours, ungodly hour)

[@naomi.cannibal]

I was so sickkk that was my first year of being an “adult” after graduating, which personally made it a weirder time than it already was

Heavy on "ungodly hour" omg

[@cloudtune.]

Future Nostalgia will definitely be remembered as one of this decade's defining albums

[@rb7619]

There’s no one right now who could serve an era that would last a year+ the way Future Nostalgia did. Dua was the right person at the right moment in time with the right team and the right music.

[@Brenmuffins]

Future nostalgia ate. I was obsessed it filled my top songs that year and levitating was number one for me two years in a row. This new era isn’t giving the same way 😢

[@m1yauh]

Im actually like the new era so far, i think the way she debuted training season at the Grammys was cool

[@ahmarindungu9010]

Her development to to this album was so good. I enjoyed pretty much every song off this album which, I thought I wouldn’t cause it’s 80s infused pop which I’m not such a fan of but my fav albums.

[@JalenTheCreative]

In My Opinion, this was the LAST GREAT pop perfection album. Like not 1 skip. & not to mention the artist development she had. SO Excited for the next album

[@latesummer]

the fever remix is so good honestly a hit for every season. also my warped perception thanks to covid of time really just let me not realize how long this era spanned like that's crazy and also really refreshing

[@wonbinnie0302]

analyze britney's in the zone era cuz that era was so iconic

[@dinasilva9263]

Omg my favorite era from Britney❤

[@patchoulini]

YESSS i loved itzney idgaf attitude

[@alysssabear]

My favorite Britney album!

[@wonbinnie0302]

itz is her best album one of my top 3 in her discography bedsides glory and blackout

[@youtubeobserver-vj4bp]

The reason Good in Bed feels so different (at least to me) is because it was co-written by Upsahl, who typically writes and sings more pop punk/alternative songs

[@naomi.cannibal]

Ahh this makes sense!! the only song of theirs I’m familiar w is 12345 😭

[@Stanislav_Orlov]

@@naomi.cannibalshe’s really good! If only her label saw her potential instead of making her limit what originally was a 15 track album to 10 tracks… but her EPs still slap, also she’s been writing for Madison Beer and Bella Poarch

[@nicolesherman8974]

Levitating was a moment, like you had to be there lol

[@TheBlackPanther05]

It was indeed

[@babybluejustice]

this video makes me realize how little bad songs dua has. even now with these songs she's given us, she's really shown how good her music can be AND is. future nostalgia was def my fav music moment of the start of this decade bc of how fun the music and rollout both were!!

[@docsaico]

I loved this album so much when it first came out. I spent a lot of time in my car during the pandemic - just hanging out in my car, I’ve kinda always liked to and it feels peaceful to me - and I was obsessed with every song. Still love it, it’s so great. 🔥

[@docsaico]

PS very much agree, “Boys Will Be Boys” is the only song I think doesn’t fit the album. It’s the only one I deleted off my phone, lol.

[@mkdelrey7362]

I will forever be pissed off that “If It Ain’t Me” with Dua and Normani didn’t come out😭 that would have been another MASSIVE hit for both of them

[@TheKs94]

Wow, seeing this video made me realize how much Dua did during the Future Nostalgia era. The videos, the perfromances, the remixes, the interviews, Studio 2054… and I was there for all of it. This video made me so nostalgic for that time 🥲

[@matteu49]

In case you've missed it - Physical was never released to US radio as Don't Start Now was in it peak at the time Physical was set to release and was already dropping in UK & Europe where the follow up single was much needed

[@nekame]

i loved that dua embraced fun pop music in a time where every artist wanted to be more "serious and different", amazing video for an iconic era ❤ ps: i hope you do one for "emails i can't send" in the future 😍

[@audacity1970]

This album was a slow burn that literally lasted years in the charts. Iconic

[@destinecarrington1432]

The disco revival of this album gets me so hype! Got me giving a whole concert in the shower

[@finleyjamesgraham]

Great video as per! Everything about this era was executed exceptionally well, her commitment to this era, the visuals, the sound, the cohesion really set Dua Lipa apart. Especially given that she had to adapt to lockdown and couldn't do traditional promotion or tour for so long. This record was like the perfect escape from all the drama in the world at the time though, like she wasn't going to let a pandemic stop her and that really gained my respect of due as an artist. Physical was my most listened to song that year, the synth production is unworldly and flawless.

[@zackzzz3513]

Physical and hallucinate was not a radio single in the US

[@naomi.cannibal]

period we must’ve really like physical over here for it to even chart then (I know I did)

[@petrvarfolomeev1993]

I think it's the latest album up to now that received a full "era treatment". I'm afraid we'll never see that again in the near future soon ((

[@boltbadblades5247]

I remember this playing out and being so FREAKING excited for the album. The way the roll out and the songs came, POP PERFECTION. Till this day, I put this album (and era) on my top 5 of ALL time

[@kevinm7517]

sometimes I wonder if "If It Ain't Me" would've been popular if the version with the Normani feature had been released and then I get sad because it could've done so well. If It Ain't Me is one of the best songs from the Future Nostalgia era, so it's a shame it didn't get more popular

[@guinessbeer]

I feel like Normani’s label really has screwed her over. They must have removed her from the official version

[@kevinm7517]

@@guinessbeer from what I remember (this might just have been speculation though) the reason why the version with the feature wasn't released because Normani's team didn't want her comeback to be a feature, which I get in principle but I feel like they really fumbled the bag. That song is a bop and I feel like if it had been handled right it really could've propelled Normani's career

[@dinasilva9263]

I was not a big fan of her in early years of her career but i really like her now. Future nostalgia is just soooooo good. I love the álbum. I think she had a great evolution.

[@strawberrylime33]

This album came out 4 years ago??!! Whaaaaa....how??

This album help me so much during 2020, it gave me the joy I needed, I got it tattooed 💜

[@vacuumblink2300]

I think Hallucinate was incredibly underrated and slept on. It's my favorite album on the record.

[@Greybell]

I love that she slowly "teased" this era with One Kiss and Electricity. Both songs are very different from her previous works and also dancey just like Future Nostalgia.

[@omarherasme6699]

Great video as usual! "Future Nostalgia" is everything you could hope for a good pop album era. And as for Dua Lipa's next era... I think people need to stop with the "flop" accusations. All of the singles have been doing consistently well; even Dua herself has noted that a lot of her songs end up becoming sleeper hits and she says she prefers that over having songs quickly blow up and then disappear quickly. I can see why some don't like them compared to "Future Nostalgia" but I enjoy them; I can't wait to hear how they will come together when the album drops. I can't also wait for more promotional performances and music reviews. And even if she doesn't conquer the US again, she still does very well in other markers such as Europe, Asia and Latin America. All this to say is... people need to chill and let the era just happen lol

[@icyflame716]

Radical optimism is gonna be ICONIC

[@jamshedmurtazaev3303]

Future nostalgia one of the biggest pop album ever existed

[@TheSkinnyZ]

Funny you should mention the selling tour tickets before the album even drops thing because a fellow creator that you actually share a first name with just did that. German (but mostly English speaking) content creator and singer Naomi Jon announced a tour for this year for an album that has yet to even be announced. I still bought a ticket because I’ve been to one of her shows last year already and the vibes were very on point. She’s a lot of fun and so is her audience. Also the tickets are affordable enough for me to take the gamble. But in general I agree that it’s not an ideal strategy.

[@ThePMMpc]

i luv your videos. especially those like this one. dua gave us everything when c. started. i will always remember that

[@filipmarinkovic6281]

I think FN era feels bigger than RO bc of how much it is a step up from debut. RO has amazing singles, especially the first two. I also think the award show performances are much better for RO than FN. Also, Music Videos are... not as amazing as in FN era. Houdini has amazing parts like towards the ending but i wish they still did the planned explodions tho. Training Season needed more sets and scenes. Illusion is a great one tho. Can't wait for the albummmm

[@lethargicAilurophile]

Her singles beforehand were nice and catchy for the times they came out but didn't have staying power.. this is really the album that made her a POP GIRL. she has a great team behind her, studio 2054 really put me flat in the floor when I saw it for the first time

[@locjake7230]

31:25 that last point is so true could you imagine if they did just run the one track into the ground.. no that era, tracks really did get to breathe

[@AngryTeddyBear98]

I consider Future Nostalgia to be a journey through pop across the decades with a fresh and modern take. Good In Bed reminds me of something that would’ve been in Maroon 5’s debut album.

[@locjake7230]

Omg I forgot about fever and say we’re good tbose bonus road tracks definitely tap in future nostalgia, I loved the the moonlight it was almost like pt2, she did that, from 2019 that’s a long era Nonetheless still enjoying today’s new album but this is something she can look back on her catalogue and be proud of. That live she did when it got leaked will always hit.. “ I want to laugh, dance 🪩 “

[@fvfvfvf9581]

I feel like it was the last great era for any genre. The last era that feels like era and very consistent throughout the whole time. I know people be mentioning other eras like Sos, Midnights or others. But all of them did not feel that long and impactful as much as the previous eras in 2010s.

[@sahibsingh9897]

Do midnights era next!

[@locjake7230]

WHERE DO I BEGIN FOR FUTURE NOSTALGIA okay so it’s 2019, before Dua dropped don’t start now she was sort of dabbing around, but I remember there was wonder when she would start her era.. Instant fall in love with don’t start now, it at times reminds me of 2019 for some reason 🤔 not sure why… Physical instantly takes me to 2020, I had personal life problems so the era of FN takes me to that time because it helped me get through.. she had quite a few tracks that made it globally, levitating helped seal her household name, hallucinate was a good little fun in between to be a 4th track I’ll always love that album cover for it, something bout it She really did do a good overhaul, and with that covid nonsense going on. Her Nicki re-up the moonlight edition was just the icing on the cake for future nostalgia to the end of 2021, start of 2022 really showed the longevity of FUTURE NOSTALGIA. Go dua give us something 🩷💅🏽

[@MO0n13e]

Hands down to the 2020s Teenage dream.

[@shellytonz2856]

This album is way too good. The 2020's version of what Teenage Dream was for the 2010s. Released the first year of their respective decades and took control of the popular conciousness. Each turning a relatively successful artist into one of the biggest pop stars in the world with just genuinely great music that is going to be very hard to follow

I love that dua lipa isn’t rushing her new album with everyone’s shortened attention spans she started teasing it in mid October and is releasing it in may that’s almost a year after she started teasing it!❤

[@Robertdbd20]

I still need to check myself to see if I'm tripping or not when I see that 2020 was 4 years ago. How??? Imo Dua took way too long making her new album, from what I've seen the hype just isn't there for this era like it was for FN, back in 2020 FN days I remember everyone being so excited to see what Dua was going to do next, but this era, not so much. While some of the singles are catchy like Houdini and Training Season (not sure about Illusion yet) they aren't sticking as well as FN singles. I feel like if she had this era in 2022, it would be a lot more successful, not to say it's flopping by any means, but compared to FN, idk it just feels like the energy isn't the same. 4 years is a long time for people to wait Reply if you disagree.

[@naomi.cannibal]

Right… feels like 2 years at most. I was thinking she took a while too but it makes sense if FN era didn’t really “end” until late 2022. Realeasing in 2024 makes sense w that, and also in general 4 years isn’t toooo long of a time to wait for albums, I think it’s just becoming less of a norm now bc artists wanna keep people’s attention. I can get not liking the singles (I like them) but I don’t think that has much to do w the timing itself

[@Robertdbd20]

​@@naomi.cannibalI get you point, just trying to figure out or give a reason why it seems like not as much people are interested in this new era tho. Maybe people are and Im tripping 😂 idk

And so far none of her singles from the upcoming album has been up to par. Which is only my opinion. I know people love them, but yeah, not for me unfortunately.

[@cristhianmontoya6648]

Definitely a different vibe. The latest songs are a bit more chill pop which might explain why they are not as popular.

[@frankoceazz]

@@cristhianmontoya6648 that may be it, but again it may be just about preference after all. Something about the FN tracks just straight up grab you and won’t let go. Like they have this kind of staying power. Which the new songs don’t.

before i even watch the video, i feel disappointed in her new era and i needed to revisit the fn era so bad

[@dopefinesse9618]

FN solidified me a dua lapeep fan.... i wish she made pretty please a single. i feel just like doja's streets song, this was the sleeper hit. definitely wuda been a easy top 10 at very least top 20. everytime i hear it it sounds like a single. at least a promo release. i was hoping it went viral on tiktok or something. but overall its a good album and hallucinate is underrated
