ROSALÍA - LUX [2LP Clear]

ROSALÍA's LUX is a sacred orchestral pop epic sung in more than a dozen languages, pressed on clear double vinyl with three bonus tracks and a poster.

Released in 2025, her fourth album was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra under Daníel Bjarnason and unfolds in four movements, with each language tied to a different female saint. It is her boldest left turn yet from an artist who already reshaped flamenco on El Mal Querer and reggaeton on Motomami, and it topped a long run of critics' year-end lists.

Berghain, with Björk and Yves Tumor, arrived as the lead single and set the tone with its operatic scale. La Perla brings in Yahritza y su Esencia, and La Rumba Del Perdón unites her with Estrella Morente and Sílvia Pérez Cruz. The vinyl also includes Focu 'Ranni, one of three songs left off the original digital release, which later became a single in its own right.

Orchestral strings and choirs sit beside pop hooks, and her voice moves from a whisper to full cathedral power without strain. The gatefold sleeve gives the artwork room to breathe.

Ambitious and devotional, it is the kind of record that rewards sitting down with the lyric sheet and the poster spread out beside you.
