New Music Friday: 6 albums to hear this week

Dua Lipa’s latest album Future Nostalgia gets a makeover on Club Future Nostalgia, a remixed version of the record featuring a who’s who of underground talent and mainstream superstars alike. With the remixers picked by Dua and the Blessed Madonna (FKA the Black Madonna), the album manages to fit artists like Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliott, BLACKPINK, and the actual Madonna alongside legendary dance music producers like Mr Fingers, Moodymann, and Masters at Work, as well as more contemporary talents like Jayda G and Midland. It feels like a real party, with mash-ups galore stitched together in a seamless DJ mix. Plus, how can you not appreciate one of the planet’s most streamed artists stealthily introducing her young fans to some of the finest artists in club music?

Elsewhere this week, Kelly Lee Owens delivers a mighty fine second album in Inner Song, and Angel Olsen follows up last year’s glossy All Mirrors with the stripped-back Whole New Mess. Take a listen below.
