Dua Lipa taps Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliott, Madonna, others for Future Nostalgia remix album
It’s no secret that we at The A.V. Club are fans of Dua Lipa’s springtime release Future Nostalgia, a tightly rendered, disco-laced LP of dance hits. While we’re beyond the point of declaring anyone a “savior” of this hellish quarantine, the “Physical” performer came somewhat close as one of the earlier artists to move up their music release date amid the COVID-19 outbreak: Future Nostalgia offered at least a temporary reprieve from ceaseless dread when it debuted on March 27, prevailing as one of the best pop albums we’ve heard in a while. (We even named it one of the best albums of the year so far.) Now, Lipa is attempting to keep the in-home party going with a re-release featuring remixes of each of the original tracks alongside some presumably new (or new-ish) material. And as is the case with any good party, she’s calling on a few friends to help make the effort a potential smash.
