Physical

Physical’, released as second single, was co-written with Sarah Hudson, Jason Evigan and Clarence Coffee Jr. and produced by Evigan and KOZ. While part of Future Nostalgia has a disco vibe going on, ‘Physical’ seems rooted in the slick synth pop of the eighties. The soaring synth in the background of the chorus is a genius touch and the suspense in the verses perfectly underlines the sexual tension in the lyrics. ‘Physical’ has an arena filling sing along chorus with an irresistible hook, but does not fully depend on it. The verses are just as strong and that middle-eight in which she raises her voice to beg her lover to keep on dancing is the moment! Dua was coming for that ‘single of the year’ quite early this time

If you thought you heard Dua at her most disco on ‘Don’t Start Now’, ‘Levitating’ is here to prove you wrong. This uplifting love song immediately takes you right into an unapologetic disco party. We hear proper seventies disco mixed with some Daft Punk-isms going on. ‘Levitating’ serves hooks for days. The chorus is instant, but the post-chorus with the ‘you can fly away with me tonight’ line, is otherworldly. As if that all wasn’t enough, we get a very British rap in the middle-eight. An absolute highlight.
