When will the new album be out?

Lipa's new record is expected to be released in 2020, although no exact date has been given yet.

'Don't Start Now' was released as the lead single from the album in October, and gives us a hint of what Future Nostalgia might sound like.

“Because of the time that I’d spent on the road touring with my band I wanted ‘Future Nostalgia’ to have a lot more of a live element," Lipa told NME, "but mixed together with modern electronic production.

“My sound has naturally matured a bit as I’ve grown up but I wanted to keep the same pop sensibility as I had on the first record.

“What I love about that record is that it’s a pop record but it’s so eclectic,” she told Vogue. “I experimented with so many different sounds. My new record is still pop and it is really fun, but it is definitely more conceptual. I had the album title and went from that.

“It would probably be risky if I wasn’t risky with the next record.," she told The Face. "I don’t think it would be as fun if I tried to recre­ate the first record. As an artist, you con­stant­ly want to grow and change your perspective and try some­thing new.”
