Right now, everything is stressful and uncertain — so why not throw on Dua Lipa's new album and dance your troubles away for an hour? The British pop star released her sophomore album on Friday, March 27, and it will definitely make your stress melt away. In fact, these tweets about Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia prove its the quarantine soundtrack we need right now.

The disco-inflected album reflects both Lipa's love of the music she grew up on and her desire to assert herself as a confident woman — after all, she declares herself to be a "female alpha" on the title track — and in an interview with Apple Music, she said it was a conscious departure from the songs that made her famous.

"People always talk about how scary the second record is," Lipa told the streaming service. "But for me, it’s more scary to go back into the studio and try to create something like 'New Rules' over and over again," she continued. Instead, Lipa turned to music from the '70s, '80s and '90s to find a brand new sound that was totally different than fans expected from her.

While Lipa couldn't have known that she would release Future Nostalgia in the middle of a pandemic (although she did drop the record early after it was leaked online), the album seems to be exactly what fans need to hear right now. After all, as she sings in "Break My Heart," we all should stay at home right now — so people might as well make a party out of it.

Future Nostalgia Will Save The World

A great pop album is always an important contribution to the culture, but right now, people really need something upbeat to dance to.
