Rosalía Turns Opera into Pop on LUX

The wait is finally over: Rosalía’s new album “Lux” has arrived, and it’s about to redraw the map of contemporary music. From unexpected collaborations to a sonic language blending orchestra, pop and avant-garde experimentation… Lux is exactly the kind of high craft record music lovers have been hoping for.
 

Rosalía returns with LUX, her fourth studio album, and once again she proves that there are no limits to her artistry. This is not just another release, it’s a manifesto of creative freedom, a journey through 18 songs that move between the earthly and the divine.

Across sweeping string arrangements and echoes of her own past work, Rosalía reinvents herself completely, leaving behind familiar rhythms to embrace something closer to opera: grand, emotional, and daringly experimental.

LUX represents a turning point - an evolution where sound and meaning intertwine.

• Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra 🎻 under Daníel Bjarnason, with arrangements by Caroline Shaw.

• The album explores feminine mysticism, heartbreak, transformation, and transcendence, themes that unfold like a modern requiem for love and power.

• Divided into four movements (MOV I–IV), the record flows like a symphony, blending orchestral depth, avant-pop textures, and choral intensity.

• Rosalía sings in 13 languages: from Spanish 🇪🇸 and English 🇬🇧 to German 🇩🇪, Arabic 🇦🇪, Catalan and more, expanding her sound to a truly global and intercultural dimension.

Collaborations

The lead single “Berghain”, featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, dropped on October 27, 2025, setting the tone with its dark, ecstatic energy.

Another track, “Reliquia”, briefly appeared online before being mysteriously pulled, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation 🤔

The album also features Carminho, Estrella Morente, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, and the Escolanía de Montserrat choir — a fusion of voices that bridges generations and genres.
