Rosalía surprises with Lux”: A musical journey through 13 languages!

The new album “Lux” by the Catalan artist Rosalía will be released on November 7th, 2025. This work marks a significant step in her musical evolution and presents a remarkable transformation from her previous maximalist style. The album is orchestrated by the London Symphony Orchestra and combines classical influences with modern elements. Considered one of the most innovative artists of her generation, Rosalía gained international recognition with her breakthrough album El Mal Querer, released in 2018, and set new standards in pop music with 2022's Motomami. Dolomitenstadt reports that “Lux” contains 13 different languages, including elements from flamenco, pop and contemporary productions.

Rosalía Vila Tobella, born on September 25, 1992 in Catalonia, has made a name for herself through her unique fusion of musical styles and her artistic vision. After her training in musicology and her first passionate performances in small venues, she quickly pushed the boundaries of music. Her new album contains songs like “Berghain,” “Reliquia,” and “La Perla,” which experiment with baroque motifs and modern sound. These songs are not only musically but also thematically profound and tell stories about female experiences and spirituality. Wikipedia highlights that Rosalía's style is considered an "atypical pop star" and that her music has revolutionized the mainstream soundscape.

Artistic vision and thematic depth

In an interview with NPR, Rosalía explains that with "Lux" she aims to create both entertaining music and pieces that challenge listeners. The album structure is described as maximalist and could be interpreted as a dramatic soundtrack to an epic film. Rosalía wants to capture different perspectives and show the beauty in different cultural narratives. The influence of her childhood, particularly her grandmother's love of classical music, has had a decisive influence on her artistic journey.

This cultural debate runs through the entire album, which also deals with religious iconography and spiritual themes. Rosalía gives free rein to her creativity, fusing elements from different traditions, including influences from Mexico and China. Their ambitious musical projects demonstrate the importance of collaboration while still offering a clear artistic vision.

A look at the future

“Lux” is seen as an alternative to conventional streaming logic, which often promotes fleeting listening experiences. Instead, it invites the audience to immerse themselves in a monumental and intimate sound world. Rosalía highlights the importance of imperfection in art, drawing on sources of inspiration such as author Ocean Vuong and musician Leonard Cohen. Her path is characterized by constant transformation, which makes her one of the most exciting artists of our time. NPR describes her as an artist who constantly breaks new ground and inspires the Dutch music world again.
