Did "don't start now" aged like a fine wine to you ?

I was listening to music and don't start now came on shuffle and i listened to it and it aged so well , at first i was sceptical but i gave it a chance and i enjoyed it so much to a point i played the entire future nostalgia album , did it age the same way for you ? Is that song a future classic people will be talking about in 50 years? Thoughts

I don't listen to it often, but appreciate the whole era.

Yes. It and most of the album has been aging beautifully. Pop classic! :jamming:

It's probably my favourite Dua song other than houdini, it's just so 80s.

The Live In LA version is by far the superior edit of the song.

I never liked the song to begin with, I'm not a fan of bitter songs about exes where the singer convinces themselves that they're over it when they're clearly not, but musically it aged very well

No, it didn't and I never liked the song. I think I might be the only one who prefers Radical Optimism over that era. RO has been the first era of hers I actually loved since Last Dance and all those amazing early singles.

Whole Future Nostalgia aged like fine wine. I think Dua has been one of the biggest hitmakers in modern pop and will be remembered as such

I can't believe it's been almost five years. It would still smash today for sure

Actually yeah, quite a bit. I definitely burned out on overplay, but coming back 5 years later it's fresh and it's excellent:jonny5:

Not at all. I love 'Future Nostalgia', but that whole album is trapped in 2020 to me.

Never enjoyed it. Houdini on the other hand... A real grower!

This song's production doesn't get enough credit.

 

It's two songs in one. One is a futuristic, EDM build-up, and the other (the drop) is a nostalgic, funk song. They literally represent "future" and "nostalgia". And then what does she do in the final chorus? A self mashup of both songs.

 

It's like she spent 3 minutes teasing this massive drop, but kept taking it away from you at the last second. But then in the final chorus, you FINALLY get this huge crescendo moment with the two songs coming together, and it just works perfectly.
