Madonna Hails Rosalía’s ‘Lux’ Ahead of Nov. 7 Release

An orchestral project with the London Symphony Orchestra showcases vocals in 13 languages.

Overview

  • Lux arrives Nov. 7 as Rosalía’s fourth album, following 2022’s Motomami.
  • Madonna shared on Instagram that she "can’t stop listening" and called Rosalía "a true visionary" after receiving an early copy.
  • Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, the album embraces operatic textures and expansive orchestration across an 18-track canvas.
  • Lead single "Berghain" features Björk and Yves Tumor with a string-orchestra opening and operatic soprano sections in multiple languages.
  • Rosalía cites a pointed comment from her sister as motivation to "go all the way" during a three-year writing process referencing figures from Saint Rosalia to Patti Smith.
