Rosalía's New Album Lux: A Multilingual, Genre-Bending Masterpiece
Ready to embark on a wild musical journey? Spanish pop queen Rosalía just dropped her new album Lux, and it's a mind-bending mix of everything we love about her — and more!
When Rosalía teased Lux last month, she called it the “emotional arc of feminine mystique, transformation, and transcendence.” Sounds intense, right? Well, it totally delivers. This album is like a captivating movie soundtrack with operatic feels, thanks to epic collabs with the London Symphony Orchestra. Trust us, Rolling Stone isn’t kidding when they say it’s “a truly timeless work of art.”
But wait, there’s more! Rosalía is on a major personal level here. Fans (aka stans) have become full-on detectives, decoding lyrics in 14 languages! Can you believe that?
- She sings in languages like English, Latin, Japanese, and even Ukrainian! Talk about a global vibe.
- Need some breakup revenge inspo? Check out “La Perla.” It’s a fiery track with Yahritza from Yahritza y Su Esencia where Rosalía dishes on an ex you wouldn't want to meet. Could it be about her ex-fiancé Rauw Alejandro? Mystery alert!
Rosalía showcases her killer classical skills, too. She studied flamenco vocal performance at Catalonia’s music conservatory, and it shows. Imagine catching her reading the score from Puccini’s opera Tosca. Easter egg, much?
So, pop on those headphones, dive into Lux, and let yourself get lost in Rosalía's thrilling and dramatic soundscapes. Pro-tip: best enjoyed with the lights dimmed low. 🎶🔥
