"It's a few minutes past 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Rosalia Vila Tobella, 33, sits on a sofa in one of the rooms of a photography studio north of Madrid. She's tired, having slept little for days (and still with little sleep ahead). But she is eager to talk about her fourth album, Lux, which at this moment half the world is already theorizing about without having heard a single note it will be (was) released on November 7."
"The level of speculation is overwhelming, sometimes revealing more about the theorist than the object itself. Rosalia isn't just big she's important. And all that this entails in an era of events and hyperbole. She sits, speaking softly and deliberately. When she gets excited or wants to emphasize a point, she shifts on the sofa or even makes a small jump, making you worry about the phone recording on her lap."
Rosalía Vila Tobella, 33, is releasing her fourth album, Lux, on November 7, 2025. The record comprises 18 tracks (15 digital, three extra on physical releases) and centers orchestration, favoring operatic textures and nearly absent loops or electronic elements. Religious imagery and the figure of God become central ethical and aesthetic pillars, informed by extensive readings across multiple faiths and attention to key female religious figures. Public speculation about the album is intense and widespread before its release. Rosalía appears tired from little sleep but focused and deliberate, and the project marks a shift toward more explicit personal and spiritual revelation.
