Future Nostalgia (The Moonlight Edition)

When Dua Lipa released *Future Nostalgia* in March 2020, she knew she was taking a risk (in a tearful social media video at the time, the British singer wondered whether releasing an album so laced with joy was “the right thing to do” just as a global pandemic hit). Her gamble, of course, paid off. *Future Nostalgia*—a celebratory odyssey into pop’s future, influenced by the late-night sounds of its past—proved to be just the tonic a world in crisis needed. “When I was creating this record, I wanted it to feel like a form of escapism,” Lipa tells Apple Music. “And it felt like, during this time, it did serve as a form of escapism for me. And I was so happy with the response that the record got, and people \[who\] were like, ‘This got me through lockdown.’” Almost exactly a year later—and following an exhilarating, star-studded remix album, a Mercury Prize nomination, and six Grammy Award nods—comes *The Moonlight Edition*. Here, you’ll find the original record\'s 11 uplifting tracks and the stream of hits Lipa served up in its wake (“Fever” with Angèle, a DaBaby-featuring remix of “Levitating,” and “Prisoner,” Lipa’s inescapable Miley Cyrus collab) plus previously unreleased tracks, including “We’re Good,” on which Lipa departs from *Future Nostalgia*’s iridescent, disco-indebted sounds. *The Moonlight Edition* celebrates an album that met the moment—and allowed its creator to conquer the world.
