Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia was a club and dancing hopeful?
For anyone who knows my music preferences well, they know I like a little bit of everything, primary Hip-hop, RnB and Pop. But I dabble into other genres too because different styles of music activates triggers differently depending on what’s being listened to. This article won’t go over the physics of music theory nor how it affects the human‘s mood, however there’s a few songs that I’d decided to play over and over due to boredom and being stuck in quarentine. They say to treat your mental health with self care, which i have been doing, but I’d noticed how I also would be singing a few songs off of the Newly rising British Pop Star Dua Lipa with her acclaimed album Future Nostalgia.
