Dua Lipa & The Blessed Madonna Launch Remix Album 'Club Future Nostalgia' With Elliot, Stefani, Ronson
Dua Lipa has announced the release of Club Future Nostalgia, a remixed version of her album Future Nostalgia, created in collaboration with The Blessed Madonna. The album is due for release on Friday, August 21st.
Club Future Nostalgia is a collection of brand new remixes and features from an impressive roll call of superstars. The album has been curated and also mixed into a continuous mixtape format by The Blessed Madonna.
The Blessed Madonna has also remixed “Levitating” featuring Missy Elliot and Madonna, which is due for release prior to the album on Thursday August 13th.
The album also includes a Mark Ronson remix of “Physical” featuring Gwen Stefani. Gwen will be joining Dua on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 10th when Dua steps in as guest host of the show.
On the creation of Club Future Nostalgia Dua says:
“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!”
On working on the album, The Blessed Madonna comments:
“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”.
