ROSALÍA is no stranger to monumental statements, yet her recent move on Madrid’s iconic Gran Vía was breathtaking even by her standards. As the city’s artery was dramatically plunged into darkness, the Grammy® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer engineered a global spectacle, reigniting the area to unveil the official artwork for her highly anticipated fourth studio album, 'LUX'. This stunning, theatrical moment was an entirely apt prelude to a record that promises an intense, widescreen exploration of feminine mystique, spirituality, and transcendence.
Set for release on November 7, 2025, 'LUX' sees the Catalan powerhouse pivot dramatically from the abrasive, hyper-pop sounds of her critically acclaimed 2022 album, 'MOTOMAMI'. Where that project embraced duality through high-octane reggaeton and intimate vulnerability, 'LUX' dives headlong into a classical and divine aesthetic. Rosalía, who takes the role of Executive Producer, has been working on this material for almost three years, crafting what she describes as a fearless, inwardly focused body of work.
The supporting cast is nothing short of phenomenal. 'LUX' was recorded with the grandeur of the London Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by the esteemed Daníel Bjarnason, ensuring a vast, cinematic scale. Furthermore, the album features an astonishing ensemble of powerful feminine voices, including the experimental majesty of Björk, the traditional depth of Carminho and Estrella Morente, and the sacred tones of the Escolania de Montserrat. This collaborative choice underscores the album’s central theme of collective feminine experience, tracing an emotional arc that moves seamlessly between operatic size and deep intimacy.
Coming off the global dominance of 'MOTOMAMI'—which made history as the first album by a Spanish artist to debut at number one on Spotify's Global Album Chart and secured the year’s highest Metacritic score—the pressure on 'LUX' is immense. Yet, ROSALÍA's genius has always been her refusal to compromise or repeat herself. Her singular vision, from reimaging flamenco on 'El Mal Querer' to fusing Latin urban sounds with avant-garde pop, has cemented her as a genuine cultural icon.
Beyond her musical achievements—two GRAMMY® Awards and 13 Latin GRAMMY® Awards to date—she remains a global tastemaker, starring in major campaigns for Calvin Klein and New Balance, and even preparing for her acting debut in the upcoming season of 'Euphoria' in 2026. 'LUX' isn’t just an album; it’s the next chapter in the fearless evolution of a global artist. For those looking for the full, immersive journey, the physical CD and vinyl editions include three exclusive tracks, adding further depth to this radiant, expansive new world.
