How Rosalía Crafted Her Wildly Ambitious Album While Filming ‘Euphoria’
Rosalía talks about creating her new operatic album Lux, auditioning and filming for Euphoria, and plans for live performances.
A Moment of Candid Reflection
Rosalía laughs as she settles into casual black pants and a fur-lined camo jacket, the same one seen in a Paris café in early October. There, she quietly studied sheet music from Puccini’s 1900 opera Tosca.
“It was a subtle nod that I was pursuing something beyond typical mainstream music.”
The Barcelona-born artist, who studied musicology, has blended diverse genres over eight years. Her focus on century-old opera notation sent a clear message.
Announcement of Lux
Weeks later, fans saw why this mattered. On October 20, Rosalía revealed the release date and cover art for her fourth album, Lux, set for Nov. 7 on Columbia Records. The cover features Rosalía dressed in white, wearing a nun’s habit, embracing herself beneath her clothes.
