“an arresting album of astonishing scope and ambition”
“Pop’s most provocative chaos agent delivers a transcendent album that sounds like nothing else in music right now”
“Paste Pick: On her fourth album, the Catalan superstar wields her usual genre-smashing instincts to create an ambitious, masterful classical avant-pop work exploring the confounding mysteries of love, God, and the divine feminine.”
“Before Beatlemania there was Lisztomania; before young people were grinding in clubs, they waltzed in beer halls and sang horny operas. The emotions may feel universal, but tastes evolve. Nothing’s sexier than a 3/4 waltz one day, and then everyone decides to get down in 4/4 for a few hundred years. Like music, religion has a habit of changing with the times. Rosalía‘s LUX expresses a personal sp”
“The Spanish singer’s fourth record is a heartfelt offering of avant-garde classical pop that roars through genre, romance, and religion.”
“Rosalía wants the world. Since crashing into public consciousness with her glittering 2018 breakthrough El Mal Querer — and the tidal wave of critical praise, brand deals and accusations of appropriation that came in its wake — the Spanish pop star has maintained an anachronistic belief in music's capacity for borderless cultural exchange. In her utopian vision of pop's future, any rules are ratt”
“Listening to LUX feels like stepping into a completely new universe. One that spans cultures, emotions, and even spiritual planes. Rosalía doesn’t just make pop music here; she crafts a symphonic, cinematic experience that pushes the boundaries of what a modern album can be. It’s ambitious, daring, and utterly captivating from start to finish.  Right away, the four‑movement structure pulls you in. There’s a satisfying arc from raw intensity to serene transcendence that mirrors the emotional journey the album invites you on. Rosalía’s vocal performance throughout is masterful: intimate and expressive one moment, sweeping and dramatic the next, often supported by lush orchestral arrangements that feel both ancient and futuristic.  What really sold me on this album was how it rewards deep listening. It’s not background music; it’s a record that talks to you about love, transformation, devotion, and self‑discovery. Tracks shift across languages and genres with effortless grace, yet throughout it all, Rosalía’s personality and vision remain unmistakably at the center.  There are moments that feel like breathtaking revelations. Whether it’s the operatic grandeur of “Berghain,” the emotional richness of “Divinize,” or the tender beauty of “Magnolias.” It’s an album that grows with every listen and often surprises you with its depth and emotional clarity.  Critically, LUX has been widely hailed as a landmark release that blends high artistry with pop sensibility, and it’s easy to see why.  breathtaking, bold, and unforgettable. This isn’t just an album; it’s a journey worth taking again and again. 🎶✨”
“When you deep dive into its concept, understand the meaning behind each song, and grasp why every language is spoken, every storyline, and every character explored, you realize you’re listening to a masterpiece. The reasons I don’t think it’s perfect are few and don’t affect the listener’s experience in a way that would make them see it as mediocre or bad at all. Some verses could’ve been better written, some songs feel cut short for mass appeal, and sometimes I wish there were more moments with instrumentals as impressive as those in Berghain, especially given that she worked with the world’s most important symphony orchestra. But aside from these minor issues, the album thrives on the listener’s struggle to understand everything at once. She knows she’s demanding a lot from the fans, and that only adds to its magnificence. A beautifully written, produced, and performed record that will be remembered decades from now. I would describe it as a bold move in a more vertical direction.”
“HIGHLIGHT TRACKS: Sexo, Violencia y Llantas Divinize Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti Dios Es Un Stalker La Rumba Del Perdón Rosalía really reminded me of how beautiful being bilingual is; especially when present in music projects. This album is one of a kind, I have never heard anything like it. The vocal range Rosalía demonstrates is beautiful shown and enhanced by the enchanting chords and instrumentals present. I knew from the lead single, Berghain, that this album was going to be big. Revolutionary. The pure emotion displayed by the beautiful band’s performance is just simply, breathtakingly stunning. 2025 had been a big year for music. LUX though, shines brighter than the masses.”
“i could genuinely go in depth dissecting every corner of this project. meticulously crafted, emotionally rich album that blends classical and contemporary elements into a timeless, spiritual experience. it explores mystique, femininity, divinity, and introspection with depth and elegance, feeling intentional in every detail and clearly made with love and care. beautifully written, produced, and performed — an immersive work of art that invites reflection and lingers long after it ends.”
“a solid 10/10 after giving us motomami rosalia truly reinvented herself with this album, the way that she represents the connection with God over any physical or material thing it’s pure art.”
“Esperaba mas como Reliquia, Divinize y Berghain, en algunas canciones se pierde la creatividad sonora que embellece a Rosalia… eso si, la lirica 10/10”
“Such a beautiful album. It’s not really the kind of music I’m used to listening to, but you can tell how well-produced the whole album is.”
“I don’t really understand Rosalia. I think this is good but the hype seems way beyond the project.”
