ROSALÍA has never shied away from bold musical moves: she debuted with a reimagining of flamenco for a new era, then blessed us with Grammy-winning MOTOMAMI, a genre bending fusion of Latin and Reggaeton. And yet, LUX still caught me completely by surprise. It’s an astronomical musical undertaking - arranged in four movements, sung in 13 languages and recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, LUX is an avant-garde blend of classical and pop that feels like it could be an opera. Conquering huge themes such as love, religion, femininity and death, ROSALÍA’s captivating vocals soar over beautiful arrangements that launch orchestral music into the contemporary moment. It will stay with you. LT
