Skip to main content Brittany Spanos, Tomás Mier, Julyssa Lopez October 22, 2025 Spanish singer-songwriter, Rosalia performs onstage during the Lollapalooza Paris Festival. Kristy Sparow/Getty Images This October, Rosalía made a grand announcement and shared that she’s getting ready to drop her long-awaited fourth album Lux on Nov. 7. The LP follows the experimental Motomami, released back in 2022 and full of pop, reggaeton, ambient, and even bachata references. Her new project, it seems, continues her imaginative streak, with baroque, orchestral touches and an aesthetic that appears to embrace religious traditions and Catholic imagery. The Spanish singer revealed Lux by dropping a giant billboard in Times Square and later sharing a TikTok Live where she previewed some of her new music. A track list shows that the record is divided into four “movements,” or sections, and the digital version will include 15 songs, while physical copies will have 18. She executive-produced the album and, according to a statement, the LP “traces a widescreen emotional arc of feminine mystique, transformation, and transcendence — moving between intimacy and operatic scale to create a radiant world where sound, language, and culture fuse as one.” As the Grammy-winning star gears up for the rollout, here’s everything we know about what else to expect from Lux. The Features Include Björk and Yves Tumor Along with the album name, release date, cover and track list, Rosalía also revealed a stacked line-up of artists who will appear on Lux. Though the track list did not make clear who is on what song, a press release noted that there are contributions from Björk, Portuguese fado singer Carminho, Spanish flamenco star Estrella Morente, Spanish singer Silvia Pérez Cruz, música mexicana star Yahritza, experimental musician Yves Tumor and the boys choir Escolania de Montserrat i Cor Cambra Palau de la Música Catalana. The most interesting and unexpected collaborator, however, is Rosalía’s executive producer Daníel Bjarnason, who is the conductor for the London Symphony Orchestra. The Album Is Made Up of Four ‘Movements’ The album seems to be broken up into four “movements,” or sections, and the physical versions of the LP will include 18 songs while digital versions will include 15.

She shared a sweeping track where you could hear the orchestra, signaling the intricate nature of the project. During an Instagram Live, she also recorded herself driving through Madrid blasting Mozart, indicating some of the classical inspiration she’s had on the brain recently. The Album Is Full of Religious References Just after Rosalia shared the cover, which shows her in a white veil, the Rosalía-as-Virgin-Mary memes spread quickly. According to a statement, the album will look into “feminine mystique, transformation, and transcendence.” Some of the track titles tap into the religious imagery, such as “Mio Cristo,” “Dios Es Un Stalker,” and “Divinize.” Related Content Rosalía Will Explore ‘Transformation’ on New Album ‘Lux’: See the Full Track List Rosalía Announces Album ‘Lux’ With NYC Billboard Rosalía Says ‘Euphoria’ Is Her ‘First Job’: I’m ‘Trying Not to Forget My Lines’ 'Euphoria' Season 3: Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison Join Cast As Others Exit Series She’s “Changed a Lot,” But Has Some Unanswered Questions During an interview with Highsnobiety in September 2024, Rosalía revealed that she had already started working on her next project — and she’s still processing the same questions she interrogated on Motomami. “It’s been a process,” Rosalía said. “I’ve changed a lot, but at the same time, I’m still wrapping my head around the same things.
