ROSALÍA - Lux (2025)
“LUX” marks a bold evolution for Rosalía, as she moves from urban-Latin rhythm forms toward a sweeping, orchestral pop vision that spans languages, traditions and textures.
The album is constructed in four movements, features singing in thirteen different languages, and integrates the London Symphony Orchestra—giving the work a cinematic scale and a sense of “pop as ritual”.
Lyrically and thematically, it weaves ideas of mysticism, transcendence, identity and feminine power, stepping away from pure club-hooks and toward something more meditative and ambitious.
While the album doesn’t chase instant sing-along choruses, its emotional resonance, sonic richness and production daring reward patient listening—some critics call it masterful.
In sum, LUX feels less like an album of songs and more like a modern pop opera—a work that demands immersion, challenges pop expectations and positions Rosalía as an auteur in her field.
