Singles from Club Future Nostalgia
  1. "Levitating"
    Released: 13 August 2020

Club Future Nostalgia is primarily a house, pop, and soul record, with Baltimore club, dance, disco, drum and bass, and piano house elements. The album received generally favourable reviews from music critics, with many praising its danceability and merging of subgenres; however many preferred its parent album. Commercially, it reached number 28 on the US Billboard 200 and number 13 on the Canadian Albums Chart, while becoming both Lipa and The Blessed Madonna's first entry on the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, reaching the summit on the chart.

Club Future Nostalgia marks the first appearance of previously-unreleased tracks "Love Is Religion" and "That Kind of Woman"; it also includes a remix of Lipa and Blackpink's "Kiss and Make Up", with the original version of the song being released on the super deluxe edition of Lipa's debut studio album, Dua Lipa: Complete Edition (2018). The Blessed Madonna's remix of "Levitating", featuring Madonna and Elliott, was released as the former's lead single on 13 August 2020. Alongside the single, a visualizer for the album was released for promotion, directed by James Papper and Will Hooper.

Background and conception
The Blessed Madonna (pictured) serves as the album's executive producer.

Following the March 2020 release of her second studio album Future Nostalgia, Lipa was unable to tour for the album due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, she was brought much joy after seeing her fans listening to Future Nostalgia in their homes and on Zoom parties as if they were with her. Intending to "take the party up a notch," Lipa enlisted the help of The Blessed Madonna to put together an "old-school" mixtape with remixes of songs from the album, alongside samples.[3][4] The two of them met at the Glastonbury Festival in 2019, and The Blessed Madonna remixed Lipa and Silk City's "Electricity" in October 2018 before they ran into one and other at NYC Downlow.[4][5] The Blessed Madonna got involved in the project around May 2020, following a Zoom call between both her and Lipa's respective teams.[4][6] She handled executive production and A&R duties for Club Future Nostalgia.[7]

Club Future Nostalgia was created in two months, during lockdown protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][8] From the beginning of creation, Lipa and The Blessed Madonna were on the same page for what their vision of the album was. The Blessed Madonna started by creating a list of samples and remixers that she wanted for the album, many of whom had already been approached by Lipa's team, including Paul Woolford, Jayda G, Gen Hoshino, Larry Heard, and Yaeji.[4][7][9] The Blessed Madonna worked on Club Future Nostalgia from her home studio in London, with a workflow that consisted of breaking down the remixes into sections, creating new versions of them, and going back and forth with engineers while waiting on features.[7][8]

Production

When remixing "Good in Bed", Hoshino spent countless days in front of his computer, attempting to not waste any time. He intended to mix Lipa's contemporary nature with early 1980s soul essence and electronic imagery of the same time period.[7] The Blessed Madonna then took over, merging the remix with Zach Witness' remix of the same song, though mostly Hoshino's remix is heard. She also increased the pitch of the synth part from "Moments in Love" (1983) by Art of Noise to be in key with "Good in Bed". Finally, The Blessed Madonna had Mark Ronson call in and request Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance" (1988), which was used to create a radio interlude. She chose the "gigolo" lyric from the song to go with the theme of "Good in Bed". Witness' original "Boys Will Be Boys" remix did not include the song's verses, so The Blessed Madonna remixed it, adding in the verses, as well as a break of Lyn Collins' "Think (About It)" (1972).[6]

Gwen Stefani (pictured right) was a last-minute addition to Mark Ronson's (pictured left) "Physical" remix after she was approached for a sample of her song "Hollaback Girl" from Club Future Nostalgia.

After Lipa mentioned that Jamiroquai was one of her reference points for Club Future Nostalgia, The Blessed Madonna wanted to do something with them. She ultimately found Dimitri From Paris' edit of the band's "Cosmic Girl" (1996), which only existed on vinyl during the production of the album, and mashed it up with "Break My Heart" to create a remix.[6][10] For her own "Levitating" remix, The Blessed Madonna originally created the remix as if Lipa was the only person on it. After Madonna and Missy Elliott joined the song, the two of them sent their respective versions to The Blessed Madonna, who ended up "Frankenstein-ing" the three versions together. Madonna's engineer Mike Dean mixed down the song, while also handling its mastering.[9] Heard, credited as Mr. Fingers, started his "Hallucinate" remix by attempting to place some club-style concepts alongside Lipa's vocals.[7] The Blessed Madonna's "Love Is Religion" remix had multiple versions, which led to both her and Lipa's teams having a lot of back and forth.[9]

Yaeji wanted to pull out different moods and emotions for her "Don't Start Now" remix, which she found difficult to reimagine due to the fact that the song is her favourite of Lipa's. She also used her own voice for the remix.[7] Ronson took apart "Physical" for his remix, intending for a Ruff Ryders direction, and an electronic‑R&B mood. When the album was finished, Gwen Stefani expressed her desire to be on the remix, after having been previously approached for a "Hollaback Girl" sample on Mr Fingers' "Hallucinate" remix. It ended up that she wanted to be on "Physical", which both Ronson and The Blessed Madonna quickly included her on.[4][6][7] The "Kiss and Make Up" remix was created after Lipa expressed a desire to include some of her past features and collaborations, which caused The Blessed Madonna to combine vocals from the song with parts of "Rise" (1979) by Herb Alpert. Moodymann created two versions of his "Break My Heart" remix, which both were ultimately included on Club Future Nostalgia.[6] After all the remixes were finished, The Blessed Madonna edited each track by chopping and deconstructing them to create a DJ Mix, while also adding sound effects, ad-libs, and the samples.[4][6]

Club Future Nostalgia is a 1990s house, 2020 pop, and 1980s soul album,[11][12] that was noted for blending several different subgenres, including Baltimore club, dance, disco, drum and bass, and piano house.[5][8][13] The DJ Mix edition of the album is crafted so each track seamlessly transitions into the next, with DJ drop-ins from the remixers and Lipa, and samples from many of Lipa's influences.[5][14] The DJ Mix edition opens with Joe Goddard's "jubilant" "Future Nostalgia" remix. Reminiscent of a 3am Glastonbury Festival DJ set, the remix incorporates Hot Chip-style synths and Daft Punk-inspired whirrs.[11] The following track, Jayda G's "Cool" remix, amps-up the original, reimagining it as a 1990s filter-disco track.[11][13] Witness and Hoshino's remix of "Good in Bed" appears as the next track; it is split into two separate tracks on the album's standard edition.[1][2] The remix "nimbly" hopscotches between its various parts, and features a funky flow.[13][15] Back-to-back "Pretty Please" remixes follow, courtesy of Midland and Masters at Work, respectively. Both remixes blend elements of 1990s music, UK garage, New York house, and contemporary dance-pop,[13][16] while solely Masters at Work's remix is a take on bleep-house, and the Midland refix has a soulful sound.[6][17] "Boys Will Be Boys", remixed by Witness, has a club and Baltimore sound, with a Rio Carnival feel and it features a Latin-inflected groove that helps amp-up the track. The remix was described as "symphonic," and its production uses frantic drums, whistles, horns, cowbells, and a distorted chanted chorus.[6][13][15]

A mashup of "Break My Heart" and Dimitri from Paris' (pictured left) edit of Jamiroquai's (pictured right) "Cosmic Girl" appears on the album.

The synth-heavy remix of "Love Again" by Horse Meat Disco features a "squelchy" 1980s and retro charm.[13][15][18] Horse Meat Disco introduce simple new melodies for the remix while it also includes strutting beats and funk-laced instrumentals.[11][15] The first part of the song is very clubby, while the second part drops to a cruise.[6] A mashup of "Break My Heart" and a Dimitri From Paris edit of Jamiroquai's "Cosmic Girl", which is a DJ Mix only track, is an upbeat remix with unbridled energy, which makes the former funkier.[7][15] The Blessed Madonna's "Levitating" remix, featuring Madonna and Elliott, spans electro-disco, electro house, future bass, and techno genres.[19][20][21][22] It has a dance-orientated production that consists of futuristic synths, a pounding bass, and vocodered backing vocals, reminiscent of Daft Punk.[13][20][23][24] A remix of "Hallucinate" by Mr Fingers entitled "deep stripped mix" and Woolford's extended mix follow, both of which incorporate elements of 1990s house and contemporary dance-pop.[16] With his remix, Mr Fingers created a skeletal ambient track,[5][7] where he reduces Lipa vocals down to a whisper, and incorporates a "gurgling" bassline, slinky synths, and West End disco beats.[13][25] "Love Is Religion" (The Blessed Madonna Remix) is a 1980s gospel, club, and pop-house remix,[6][11][17] with a choir-backed chorus and bubblegum synths.[26][27]

The "Don't Start Now" remix by Yaeji is driven by an ASMR-esque drum beat, and makes use of a G-funk deep bass and a stop-start rhythm.[5][7][15] The remix spans Baltimore club, house, minimal disco, pop, and trap genres.[5][6][11] Ronson's midtempo "Physical" remix that features Stefani reimagines the song as an electro track, with Lipa and Stefani's vocals blending together.[6][13] The remix of "Kiss and Make Up", a DJ Mix only track, has a club feel and influences from the urban roots of remix culture.[15][16] It was described as a pop-funk remix.[13] Like its predecessor, Jacques Lu Cont's remix of "That Kind of Woman" also has a club feel, and incorporates Kylie Minogue-style disco and Balearic genres.[5][11][15] The DJ mix edition of Club Future Nostalgia closes with a remix of "Break My Heart" by Moodymann, who looped Lipa's vocal phrases and adjusted his sound to fit hers. A Detroit house and modern dance track, the remix includes a bass lick, cowbells, and ambiance, as well as clinking bottles and laughing sound effects.[5][15][28] The standard edition of the album also includes a "Don't Start Now" remix by Kaytranada. The remix is a bass-heavy, deep house and funky house track, with a production that includes an eerie keyboard loop, a four on the floor beat, and jazzy hi-hats.[29][30][31][32]

Release and promotion
Missy Elliott (pictured left) and Madonna (pictured right) are featured on Club Future Nostalgia's lead single, The Blessed Madonna's remix of "Levitating".

Following the announcement of the "Levitating" remix, Lipa revealed on 4 August 2020 that the remix, along with a remix of "Physical" by Ronson featuring Stefani, would be featured on a remix album for Future Nostalgia, titled Club Future Nostalgia.[33][34] The album was scheduled to be released on 21 August 2020; however, 11 days earlier, Lipa revealed while hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Club Future Nostalgia was being delayed by a week in order to create an animation for every track on it.[35][36] A DJ Mix-crafted edition of the album was released for digital download and streaming by Warner Records on 28 August 2020, with the un-mixed Standard edition, released through the same record label and for the same formats, following on 11 September 2020.[2][37] Club Future Nostalgia marks the first appearance of previously-unreleased tracks "Love Is Religion" and "That Kind of Woman".[5] The standard edition of the album was released on vinyl, while the DJ mix was released on CD on 27 November 2020.[38]

Singles and other songs

The Blessed Madonna's remix of "Levitating" that features Madonna and Elliott was released as Club Future Nostalgia's lead single on 13 August 2020.[39] The remix reached number 10 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 singles chart,[40] and number 9 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart,[41] as well as peaking at number 99 in Italy.[42] An accompanying music video was released, which was directed by Will Hooper.[43] It features many romantic moments of an ensemble cast, with an extraterrestrial theme.[44] Both The Blessed Madonna and Madonna are absent from the video, though Elliott and Lipa's boyfriend Anwar Hadid both make cameo appearances.[45] Ronson's "Physical" remix, featuring Stefani, peaked at number 33 on the NZ Hot Singles chart.[46] "Love Is Religion", remixed by The Blessed Madonna, was chosen as a Song of the Summer 2020 by the Billboard staff and is a part of the soundtrack for FIFA 21 (2020).[47][48] The Midland Refix of "Pretty Please" is currently nominated for Best Remix/Edit at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards 2020.[49]

Visualizer
Part of the visualizer sees Lipa playing the Club Future Nostalgia vinyl on a record player.

A visualizer for the DJ Mix edition of Club Future Nostalgia was made available for digital download and streaming 28 August 2020.[50][51] Lipa got the idea for it when preparing her "Hallucinate" video, thinking it was the perfect time to try and get animators to bring their own world with each song. She further thought that during the COVID-19 pandemic would be the only time she would be able to do this.[52] The visual was created as a collaboration between production companies Blinkink and Blink, with production from Gareth Owen and Corin Taylor.[50]

Production on the visualizer began in late spring 2020.[53] James Papper of Blinkink handled the direction for the animated parts of the video, working with 13 different artists. Each artist had to work under COVID-19 pandemic lockdown restrictions from their home cities, which included Madrid, Seoul, Sydney, Berlin, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York City, Kentucky, Ghent, and London. The visualizer for each track was designed by a different artist, which mirrors the album's structure where each track is remixed by a different producer. Live action visuals are included, which were directed by Hooper. They include the music video for the remix of "Levitating", as well as clips of Lipa with Hadid.[54]

Club Future Nostalgia was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 81, based on 7 reviews,[56] while AnyDecentMusic's assessment of critical consensus gave it 7.0 out of 10.[55]

Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood compared Club Future Nostalgia to Madonna's The Immaculate Collection (1990), while also complimenting Lipa's "vivid" vocals, writing she is a "magnificent" singer.[58] In his review for Variety, Jem Aswad praised the album for getting the concept of merging remix albums and mixtapes "exactly right." He concluded by naming it "more free and fun" than Future Nostalgia.[17] In a positive review for The Independent, Roisin O'Connor stated the album makes one dance, as well as acclaiming the remixers for removing inhibitions from the liberated songs.[14] Hannah Mylrea of NME viewed it as more of a mixtape than a remix album, and praised the album for merging many different genres together.[11] AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung commended Club Future Nostalgia for being a "sweaty, thumping update," "nonstop party," and "absolute blast," but also thought that some tracks didn't hit the proper heights of what everyone wanted.[26] Tom Hull, who had praised the original album, found Club Future Nostalgia inessential but "glittering with ear candy" and was especially impressed by the Neneh Cherry rap sample on "Good in Bed".[57]

For Slant Magazine, Sal Cinquemani criticized the album for lacking the "joyous, adrenaline-fueled arc" of the best DJ sets, but admired its unintentional virtual dance floor gateway.[13] In a negative review at Pitchfork, Owen Myers stated it "struggles to build the anticipation to earn a payoff." He elaborated, criticizing the remixers for heavy editing that makes the album feel "oddly uneven" and fun, but less than the value of its parts.[5] The Line of Best Fit writer Udit Mahalingam thought that the album failed to live up to Future Nostalgia, writing that it draw attention to "its lack of depth" and "innovation." He also thought that Club Future Nostalgia did not properly blend the styles of Lipa and The Blessed Madonna, but named it a "multi-genre pastiche."[16] Justin Curto of Vulture expressed that he is "devastated to report that it takes over 25 minutes for something exciting to happen" on the album.[25]
