Is this any time for a dance party? It is if you’re a fan of Dua Lipa, the English singer who won the best new artiste Grammy in 2019 and is back with a sophomore album that literally doesn’t skip a beat.

Future Nostalgia (released on March 27) is 100% ballad-free, with a style that might have seemed at home in the Studio 54 era, or at the height of Prince’s Minneapolis sound, as they do in clubs today (or will, once they reopen).
