Rosalía Talks to Billboard About Her Divine Confidence | Billboard Latin

Rosalía speaks with Billboard about the confidence that divine inspiration brought her for her new album ‘LUX’ and explains how JUSTICE taught her the correct pronunciation of Sauvignon Blanc.

How will fans be surprised by this album?

Rosalía: I think they will be surprised. I hope they will be, but you never know. So I prefer not to hype it up too much, if you know what I mean. I’d rather say that this album is very different from the previous one, and also completely different from other past albums. However, in some way, it’s still connected. I believe there’s a connection to previous projects. It’s like it responds to or resonates with or is related to other works I’ve done before, even though it’s entirely different. I believe spirituality is something that has accompanied me since I was young, and I feel deeply grateful to have been able to create an album like this one, where the inspiration comes from mysticism and spirituality. I understand spirituality as coming from a place of openness. I’m really drawn to the concept of post-religion, of that openness—being able to resonate with ideas from Christianity in the same way one might resonate with ideas from Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism or Islam. There are so many different religions in the world, and they are all so inspiring, each offering valuable lessons to learn from.

What’s your favorite song on this album?

Rosalía: Personally, I don’t have favorite songs. I don’t have any favorite songs of my own. I don’t feel particularly attached to my music. It’s neither love nor hate—it’s more like, “I needed to release this, so I’m letting it go now.” So no, I don’t have a favorite. I prefer for others to listen to it and choose their own favorite. I’d be happy with whatever they choose.
