Rosalia - Lux (November 7, 2025) Album • Page 3

On this rn, wowwowowow

 

Honestly I thought Reliquia was gonna be the top but then the very next song Divinize blew me away even more

 

This album is legitimately blowing my mind.
Berghain doesn’t sound out of place at all on this

 

One of the most positive first listens I’ve had all year. Immediately a top 10 record. I haven’t felt this excited to sink my teeth into a record in a long time, and I can’t wait to listen to this on my surround sound speaker system

 

I'm very excited to listen

 

I hope she tours here for this

 

I’m going to be insufferable about this album to people in my orbit

 

wild album

 

Loving this. Closest thing I can think of in the indie sphere is like Extraordinary Machine.

 

Berghain into La Perla. Swoon.

 

beyond differences in the tracklist, i'm hearing there are production and length changes between the physical and digital versions? supposedly she was working on it even after sending it out for physical manufacturing, so i guess she wasn't happy with some elements and song lengths? for example: Dios Es Un Stalker is 2:10 on streaming, but 4:18 on CD & vinyl.

 

Interesting. All of the reviews talking about out the bonus tracks got me wanting to hear those ASAP as well.

 

I hate how common this is now

 

agreed. it's one thing to maybe hold back a couple of tracks to incentivize buying physical copies. it's another entirely to submit an unfinished record and keep working on it afterwards. it feels a bit different here since the changes appear to be miniscule (compared to missing half of the tracklist outright), and i guess it's different that she cut songs from the streaming release rather than add them, but it's still a bit frustrating. have one version of the album ready to go and ship it that way across all mediums.

 

Yeah now I’m sitting over here thinking whether the version I’m listening to on streaming is the full, complete vision or not. Especially since those exclusive songs are baked into the tracklist, rather than at the end.

 

A while ago on popcast they talked about what essentially comes down to the elimination of real A&Rs from the industry and this seems to me to be one of the results. There’s nobody telling them when enough is enough, and as someone who works with artists from various disciplines: they need it.

 

I bought Motomami on CD and it was a very nice one, with a thick booklet etc. That could point to her being someone that considers physical releases as important. Or it’s a coincidence since the post-physical tinkering this time around points to the opposite.

 

What's wild is she started teasing it a year ago, but it's so ornate I get it

 

This is really incredible

 

The worked on it for three years

 

I listened to this for the first time while doing some work and every once in a while I’d hear something and go “whoa, that’s so cool” and then I’d check what song it was. When it ended I realized I had done that to every song lol. Really astonishing stuff here.

 

Great first listen, she's so cool

 

I'd only listened to El Mal Querer before and didn't really get the hype. Went back to it after my first listen here and...have the same general reaction. It's fine, not my bag typically but I didn't dislike it. This seems like it's a completely different animal obviously. Listening to Motomami now and enjoying it more. Still though, this one is on another level.

 

I will say El Mal Querer in many ways is a very continental European Hip Hop/Urban-ish record (obviously not rap, but in terms of approach very much in that tradition) that somehow made it to the US because Spanish-language music was booming, so I can definitely see why it works so much for me, who grew up in that tradition, versus many others who didn’t. I personally think it’s maybe the best album out of Europe of the 2010s.

 

check out Los Angeles - it's a wonderful display of her talent
