TOP 5 SONGS

5. Berghain

“Berghain” feels cinematic.

The track is like the climax of a film shot under neon lights and cathedral ceilings. It’s orchestral and dramatic, built on heavy classical instrumentation that bursts into modern, electronic euphoria. Rosalía sings of falling fast and hard — knowing the danger but diving in anyway. The song’s theatricality mirrors the all-consuming nature of passion; it’s big, bold, and breathtaking. It’s love as performance, devotion as spectacle.

4. De Madeugá

“De Madrugá” is fury embodied.

The song burns with rage, revenge, and unrelenting power. Rosalía spits fire over explosive percussion, channeling anger into art. It’s raw, loud, and unapologetic — the kind of track that makes your pulse race. You can hear her letting go of restraint, reclaiming her voice and her vengeance. It’s as chaotic as it is cathartic, a sonic eruption that commands your full attention.

3. La Yugular

“La Yugular” is obsession set to melody — love that chokes, grips, and consumes

Rosalía describes being held by the throat of her emotions, completely submerged in infatuation. The production feels suffocating in the best way, with layers that tighten and release like waves of desire. It’s darkly romantic, illustrating how passion can both destroy and define you. Every note feels like surrender.

2. Porcelana

“Porcelana” is pure temptation.

Rosalía blends Spanish, Italian, and English as she seduces with honesty — exposing her flaws while making them sound irresistible. She calls out her cracks and contradictions, turning them into the very things that make her magnetic. The song drips with confidence and danger, telling her lover, I might break you, but you’ll still want me. The beat is dark, pulsing, and intimate — a dance between power and vulnerability that only Rosalía could pull off.

1. Divinize

“Divinize” is one of LUX’s shining moments.

It is a bilingual masterpiece that feels both celestial and grounded. The track moves fluidly between English and Spanish, but its message transcends language: Rosalía is divine by design. Through bruises, heartbreak, and chaos, she remains powerful. Her voice swells with conviction, soft yet indestructible, like she’s reclaiming her body and spirit from the world’s judgment. The production is ethereal, full of echoes and light, pulling you into her ascension. It’s spiritual, feminine, and unstoppable.

RGM RATING

(85%)

Rosalía takes listeners on an emotional pilgrimage through the extremes of the human condition. Each song feels like a different chapter: one moment sacred, the next profane. She explores the divine and the carnal with equal curiosity, finding beauty in contradiction. It’s messy, sensual, spiritual, and stunningly alive.

Rosalía blends genres effortlessly — from flamenco and electronic to opera and industrial — while switching between languages and cultural references with poetic ease. Religious imagery weaves through every verse, not as dogma, but as metaphor for human connection and transformation. LUX is proof that Rosalía doesn’t just make music — she builds worlds. The passion, vulnerability, and confidence she brings to this project make it one of her most ambitious and honest works to date.
