Spanish pop icon Rosalía has officially announced her upcoming album “Lux”, slated for release on November 7, 2025. The record marks her first full-length studio project in over two years, following the globally acclaimed Motomami. The announcement arrived alongside the release of the lead single “Berghain,” featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, signaling a bold orchestral direction for the Grammy-winning artist.
Artistic Shift and Album Structure
Titled “Lux,” the album showcases Rosalía’s evolution toward orchestral and cinematic soundscapes. According to Reuters, the record was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Daníel Bjarnason, and produced under Rosalía’s direct supervision.
The project is divided into four musical movements, blending elements of classical, flamenco, and experimental pop. This shift represents a departure from her earlier reggaeton and urban beats in Motomami, offering a richer, more layered production that bridges traditional European and modern global music influences.
Star-Studded Collaborations
“Lux” features an international roster of collaborators. Alongside Björk and Yves Tumor, guest appearances include Portuguese fado singer Carminho, flamenco artist Estrella Morente, Washington-based trio Yahritza, and a Catalan boys’ choir.
The diversity of artists underscores Rosalía’s aim to craft a genre-defying global experience. The lead single’s music video, directed by Nicolas Méndez, visually reinforces this theme — showing Rosalía followed by a black-clothed orchestra, merging visual art and classical composition.
Analyst Reactions and Industry Impact
Music analysts suggest Lux could redefine Rosalía’s artistic image in the global landscape. Critics highlight her consistent boundary-pushing approach, noting that her fusion of flamenco heritage and experimental orchestration cements her place as one of the most versatile voices in modern music.
“Rosalía is moving into a new era — one that marries artistry with cultural precision,” said a review excerpt from Billboard España. Industry insiders expect Lux to compete strongly in major award categories in 2026.
What’s Next for Rosalía
The “Lux” world tour is expected to be announced in early December 2025, with initial performances rumored for London, Madrid, and Mexico City. The artist has also teased behind-the-scenes footage from the orchestral sessions, to be released exclusively on YouTube Music in the coming weeks.
With Lux, Rosalía continues to evolve as a genre-transcending artist, uniting global traditions and contemporary sound design in one ambitious release.
