Rosalía’s Orchestral ‘Lux’ Arrives After Leak and Barcelona Premiere

The four-movement project lands as she reasserts control of the rollout with an in‑person debut following an early online leak.

Overview

  • The album is out now, a four-part, 18-track work recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and conceived as an operatic statement.
  • Spanish media reported a full leak two days early with files circulating on WhatsApp, TikTok and other platforms, while the label declined immediate comment.
  • Rosalía responded by playing the album for fans at Barcelona’s Palau Nacional, presenting the complete work in a curated listening environment.
  • Early reaction has been strong, with Madonna calling her a “true visionary,” Variety praising a challenging, spiritually themed opus, and Björk celebrating their collaboration.
  • She says she sings in 14 languages across the record, the lead single “Berghain” features Björk and Yves Tumor, and CD/vinyl editions include three exclusive tracks in a different sequence.
