Rosalía Details 'Lux' as a Spiritual, Multilingual Reinvention Ahead of Nov. 7 Release

She calls it a study in female mysticism built on a year of lyric work across 13 languages.

Overview

  • Lead single Berghain, featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, introduces operatic and classical textures alongside overt religious imagery.
  • In a New York Times podcast, Rosalía previewed songs, confirmed vocals in 13 languages, and said she relied on research and human consultants rather than AI.
  • She staged a listening party in Mexico City, while viral TikTok videos showed her dining at La Casa de Toño with Latin Mafia during the visit.
  • The four‑movement album is set for Nov. 7 via Columbia/Sony, with 15 digital tracks and three physical‑only songs and collaborators including Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and Yahritza y Su Esencia.
  • Reaction ranges from the Spanish bishops’ conference president citing a trend reconnecting youth with religion to a viral TikTok questioning whether fame, not merit, drives acclaim.
