Dua Lipa Song Suggestions for Gen X (September 2020)

Dua Lipa – from her “Future Nostalgia” album cover

In 2020, pop singer Dua Lipa released an album called “Future Nostalgia.”

She later released a second album of re-mixes based off that first album called “Club Future Nostalgia.”

It is my opinion that the original versions of the songs (from Future Nostalgia) are much better than the remixes (from Club Future Nostalgia – which you can listen to on You Tube here).

(Side note: Madonna – yes Madonna from the 1980s who sang hit songs such as “Material Girl” and “Like A Prayer” back in the 1980s – sang on the “Levitating” remix off “Club Future Nostalgia,” which you can listen to here on You Tube, though I think the original version of the song is ten times better; you can listen to the original version below.)

According to the Wiki page for this album:

Future Nostalgia is the second studio album by English singer Dua Lipa, released on 27 March 2020 by Warner Records.

…She wanted to create a record with the nostalgic memories of her childhood and the music her parents listened to and put a modern spin on it with futuristic elements, which is why she ultimately went with the title.

It is meant to describe “a future of infinite possibilities while tapping into the sound and mood of some older music.”

Movie Soundtrack – Batman Forever – Music Suggestion

Movie Soundtrack – Batman Forever – Music Suggestion

Granted, the Batman Forever movie wasn’t so great (wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t the best), but I bought the soundtrack on CD-Rom around 1995 (I still have it), later ripped the songs to my hard drive, have them on my iPod, and it’s a really good soundtrack.

Some of the songs are mid to fast tempo, so they’re good for biking or running to, while slower numbers are good for walking to.

You can read more about the Batman Forever soundtrack on Wikipedia

The biggest hit from this soundtrack, the best known song, is probably Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose.” But there are so many other great songs on this disc.

Michael Hutchence (former lead singer of Aussie band INXS) did one of the tracks on the soundtrack: “The Passenger.”

(If you like the “Passenger” song, be aware that Siouxsie and the Banshees also did an excellent cover of that song in the 1980s that you may want to check out (listen to it on You Tube (audio only), and/or  buy The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees via Amazon’s site).)
