"Rosalía has always dreamed big, as a pop star with experimental ambitions, but, on her fourth studio album, Lux, the Spanish singer-songwriter pushes the boundaries even farther with a tight grasp on tension, drama, and reprieve. Split into four movements, her 15-song LP was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, as conducted by Daníel Bjarnason, and executive-produced by Rosalía herself; the group's urgent strings can be heard driving the abrupt lead single "Berghain." Contributing to the album in various ways are Björk, Yves Tumor, Portuguese fado singer Carminho, Spanish flamenco artist Estrella Morente, Spanish singer Silvia Pérez Cruz, Washington-based trio Yahritza, and the boys choir Escolania de Montserrat i Cor Cambra Palau de la Música Catalana."
Significant new album releases arrive across genres this week, spanning pop, experimental, hip-hop, and electronic artists.
