LUX has already been met with immediate critical acclaim, Rolling Stone giving it 5 stars and declaring it “her most astonishing offer yet, packed with history and decades of training that let her tie classical sounds, opera references, and 13 different languages into one gorgeous, gutting package that feels like a truly timeless work of art.” The Associated Press called LUX a “Phonetic miracle,” and that “If there is a single avant-garde saving grace in the pop music landscape, it’s here,” giving the album 4.5/5 stars. NPR stated that “On ‘LUX,’ ROSALÍA pulls the entire world into her symphony,” and that “On LUX, the mortal and divine are in conversation, and with ROSALÍA as our guide, we can touch both.”
ROSALÍA first unveiled LUX with the grand orchestral centerpiece ‘Berghain,’ the video produced by CANADA and directed by longtime ROSALÍA collaborator Nicolás Méndez, known for directing Malamente, TKN, and Pienso En Tu Mirá. Filmed in Warsaw, Poland, the piece follows a woman navigating grief as she struggles to mend her broken heart. Ultimately, she finds solace and healing through her spirituality.
On Wednesday, ROSALÍA debuted LUX in full for fans and friends at the MNAC in her home city of Barcelona.
