Rosalía Brings 'LUX' Preview to Mexico City as Multilingual, Saint-Inspired Album Nears Release

She describes the project as a spiritual, multilingual experiment that pivots toward classical textures.

Overview

  • Rosalía held an exclusive listening party in Mexico City, then drew viral attention by dining at La Casa de Toño with Latin Mafia and making informal stops including a drag show appearance and a piñata purchase.
  • LUX is slated for November 7 through Columbia/Sony following the single Berghain with Björk and Yves Tumor, whose video features religious imagery and orchestral, operatic elements.
  • She has said the album was inspired by women saints and that she sings in 13 languages after a year focused on lyrics and phonetics, using research and human help rather than AI.
  • Reported contributors include Björk, Yves Tumor, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz and Yahritza, with 15 tracks digitally and 18 on physical editions organized in four movements, including physical-only songs Focu 'rainni, Jaenne and Novia Robot.
  • Reactions range from Spain’s Episcopal Conference leader citing a current that reconnects youth with religion to a viral TikTok that questions whether fame drives how the work is valued.
