Madonna congratulates Rosalía on her new album, 'Lux': "I can't stop listening to it"

The artist Madonna has congratulated Rosalía on her new album, 'Lux', which officially releases this Friday, although it has already leaked on social networks this Tuesday. "You are a true visionary!" the American wrote on her Instagram account.

Thus, the 'Like a Prayer' singer thanked Rosalía and mentioned that she cannot stop "listening." In response, the Catalan singer shared the story on her account and wrote "the queen," referring to Madonna.

'Lux' is Rosalía's fourth album, coming three years after the release of 'Motomami'. On October 27, the singer already released a preview, 'Berghain', featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, a track that has already achieved more than two million views on YouTube since its debut and has reached 23 million streams on Spotify.

On another note, this November 4, Rosalía released on Spotify 'Reliquia', a second preview, but it was removed an hour later without explanation whether it was a mistake or a planned action.

In this work, which was recorded alongside the London Symphony Orchestra and includes voices from artists such as Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and choirs from Escolanía de Montserrat and L'Orfeó Català, the artist explores themes such as "feminine mystique, transformation, and spirituality tracing the arc between illusion and loss, faith and individuality."

In the cover image of 'Lux', Rosalía appears wearing a type of headpiece reminiscent of a nun's, wrapped in tight white fabric, similar to a straitjacket. She, hugging herself, rests against a blue background with her lips painted gold, and above, the word 'Lux'.

The artist has also revealed the names of the songs that make up this work, which she has undertaken for the first time without fear of failure, as she acknowledged a few weeks ago in an interview for the 'Radio Noia' program, from Primavera Sound.

Thus, the album is divided into four movements. The first comprises 'Sexo, Violencia y Llantas', 'Reliquia', 'Divinize', 'Porcelana', and 'Mio Cristo'. The second part is completed by 'Berghain', 'La Perla', 'Mundo Nuevo', and 'De Madrugá', a song she previously previewed during concerts of her tour for 'El mal querer', her second album.

The third movement of the album consists of 'Dios Es Un Stalker', 'La Yugular', 'Sauvignon Blanc', 'Focu 'ranni', and 'Jeanne'. These last two will only be available in physical format, on CDs and vinyl that can already be pre-purchased on her website. The fourth and final part is closed by 'Novia Robot', also exclusive in physical format, 'La Rumba Del Perdón', 'Memória', and 'Magnolias'.
