Rosalía – Lux (2xLP, Deluxe, Crystal Clear)

"Lux" is the fourth studio album from GRAMMY award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Rosalía. It is her most groundbreaking and global release to date - a monumental masterpiece of vision and craftsmanship. The album was recorded with the London Symphonic Orchestra and features female voices such as Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz and the choir of the Escolania de Montserrat and the Orfeó Català.

Rosalía explores themes such as female mysticism, transformation and spirituality and draws a line between illusion and loss, faith and self-discovery.

Reviews

“A transformative piece of expression that’s as intense and maximalist as life itself.” — Rolling Stone

“In truth, you don’t need to know what’s going on to find Lux a truly compelling, involving experience. These are uniformly beautiful songs, filled with striking moments.” — The Guardian

“In ‘De Madrugá,’ the climax of the more personal first half, the character bolts awake in a cold sweat and the song only goes harder from there. ... The more philosophical second half begins with Movement III and ‘Dios Es un Stalker,’ an alluring mix of the sacred and profane.” — Consequence

“‘Lux’ is endearingly insistent on taking you away from the lethargy of modern life and transporting you to a surround sound, meta-textual dimension. It’s hard-won, but oh so worth it.” — Clash Music

“It’s not a dopamine machine like MOTOMAMI, but it rewards listeners who ache for more from pop artists: more feeling, more risk.” — Pitchfork

“The record is in constant danger of toppling under its own weight. Thankfully, Rosalía largely manages to keep her head above the swell of her own ambition. Built on enormous waves of strings, brass, choir, thunderous kettledrums, bells and flamenco rhythms, it's a miracle just how nimble Lux sounds.” — Exclaim
