Lux, Rosalía’s New Album: A Breathtaking Odyssey into Music’s Further Reaches

Spanish star Rosalía looks forward rather than back, delivering an album that is thrilling, baffling, and hauntingly beautiful. While 2025 is marked by music steeped in nostalgia—Oasis capitalizing on retro trends, Radiohead returning as a standard band revisiting hits, and yet another Beatles documentary—the past’s stronghold on music has become a limiting force.

In this climate, Rosalía’s Lux stands out as a fearless, bold, and avant-garde work. The album’s cover, featuring the Catalan artist dressed as a nun, signals her commitment to a new direction, one from which she will not deviate.

Rosalía’s previous three albums explored flamenco, electronica, and reggaeton, winning her major acclaim, especially among Spanish-speaking audiences. However, Lux shatters all expectations, embarking on an expansive journey into experimental music.

“Rosalía’s Lux marks her as an heir to Björk,”
“Björk passes on the baton as she appears on the rambunctiously odd single ‘Berghain.’”

This album is a bold step into the unknown, pushing the boundaries of contemporary sound.

Summary

Rosalía’s Lux redefines her sound with daring experimental music, breaking free from nostalgic trends and marking a bold new artistic direction.
