  • Dua Lipa & The Blessed Madonna remix album, ‘Club Future Nostalgia’

    Dua Lipa & The Blessed Madonna remix album, ‘Club Future Nostalgia’

    On Aug. 7, Dua Lipa and The Blessed Madonna announced the remix album, ‘Club Future Nostalgia’ which is scheduled to be released on Friday, Aug. 21.  The album is an entirely remixed version of Lipa’s global #1 album ‘Future Nostalgia.’

    ‘Club Future Nostalgia’ features a collection of brand new remixes into a continuous mixtape format curated by The Blessed Madonn.  The album features an incredible lineup of superstars including Missy Elliott and Madonna on “Levitating” which is due for release on Thursday, Aug. 13.  It also features tracks by Mark Ronson and Gwen Stefani.

    Lipa will guest host the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show On Aug. 10 where she will join forces with Gwen Stefani on a track titled “Physical.”

    “The last few months have been surreal. I’ve watched you all dance in your homes and on your Zoom parties to Future Nostalgia like you were in the club with me. It brought so much joy to my days spent at home, even though I would’ve much rather been playing these songs live for you all on the road. During this time, I decided to take the party up a notch with the incomparable The Blessed Madonna, who secretly helped me to craft the mixtape that would become “Club Future Nostalgia”. We invited some friends and legends to join in on the fun with us. Absolute queens Missy Elliot and Madonna joined me for an epic remix of “Levitating”, and my dream girl Gwen Stefani and the supreme Mark Ronson teamed up to take “Physical” to the next level. And the party doesn’t stop there – there are so many more surprises to come!”

    – Dua Lipa

    “Taking Future Nostalgia and reimagining it as a mixtape album was an enormous project, which had to be done in absolute secrecy, alone in my attic. In a way building this fantasy out of this beautiful record Dua had already given us was the perfect task for the pandemic. It was a massive and infinitely detailed task. Creating remixes and originals, curating the dream team of additional remixers and weaving the features into a new album was both daunting and thrilling to say the least. My admiration for Dua only deepened. She is a brilliant, once in a generation artist and a sweetheart. Being able to make this love letter with such a legendary cast of characters is beyond comprehension. In the end my goal was to build a new world: Club Future Nostalgia, the dance floor we all so desperately need but can’t quite reach. I love this project so much and I hope you love it too.”
