Rosalía Unveils ‘Berghain,’ A German-Language Orchestral Lead Single for ‘Lux’

Overview

  • The song is surging online and marks her first use of German lyrics alongside Spanish and English.
  • The recording and video center on a dark orchestral and choral sound, with the London Symphony Orchestra featured on screen.
  • Guest turns include Björk voicing a bridge section and Yves Tumor delivering a stark repeated closing line.
  • Lux is scheduled for Nov. 7 as a multilingual project with numerous collaborators after a rollout that included Substack score teasers and a Times Square billboard.
  • Music scholars credit the piece’s classical-pop inversion and stop‑start pacing for its pull, as the video neared 10 million YouTube views in three days and trended across TikTok and Instagram.
