How Rosalía Crafted Her Ambitious Album While Filming ‘Euphoria’
Rosalía discusses her new operatic album Lux, auditioning and filming for Euphoria, her plans for live shows, and more. The Barcelona-born singer was recently seen in casual black pants and a camo jacket lined with fur—the same jacket she wore at a Parisian café in early October.
Seated alone, she studied the sheet music of a song from Puccini’s 1900 opera Tosca. This moment hinted at her artistic direction, signaling a departure from typical modern pop music towards something more classical and ambitious.
Musical Evolution and Inspiration
Having studied musicology in college, Rosalía has blended diverse genres throughout her eight-year career. However, immersing herself in a century-old opera's musical notation showed her deeper artistic intentions beyond mainstream trends.
Album Announcement
On October 20, Rosalía revealed the release date and cover art for her fourth album, Lux. At Madrid’s Callao Square, giant projector screens displayed a countdown that culminated in unveiling the album’s launch on November 7 via Columbia Records.
“For some reason, I didn’t completely go crazy,” Rosalía reflected on balancing intense creative processes while working on multiple projects.
The album cover features Rosalía dressed in all white, wearing a nun’s habit and hugging herself, presenting a striking and symbolic image.
Summary
Rosalía combines classical influences with cutting-edge culture, crafting an ambitious album that redefines her musical identity while managing acting commitments.
