JHS 4,714 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 A Spanish pop star has been born I'd like to introduce GGD to ROSALÍA She's a Catalan 25-year-old artist and she's currently smashing in Spain. She has that it-factor to become the next big thing: beautiful voice, great dance moves, great visuals, great live performances, humble personality... However, what makes her stand out and shine the most is her unique style and aesthetic: in these times of political tensions between Catalonia and Spain, she blends the traditional flamenco music and culture from Andalusia with modern trap/hip-hop sounds, resulting in a totally fresh sound and look. As a result, she's being praised by the media for managing to put younger generations in touch with traditional Spanish music while staying current. She claims she finds inspiration both in flamenco artists as well as American rappers such as Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. In addition, she has built her career on her own with her sister and mother. Her hit 'Malamente', released last May, is breaking boundaries and borders internationally, making it to rankings all over the world. Dua Lipa tweeted about her a few days ago: She writes meaningful lyrics and puts out original music videos full of metaphors and Spanish symbology. Here's the two singles she has released for her upcoming album 'El Mal Querer' Malamente (Cap.1:Augurio)- 'Badly (Cap.1: Omen)' Pienso en tu mirá (Cap. 3: Celos)- 'I Think Of Your Gaze (Cap.3: Jealousy) As a Spaniard I consider her to be the most interesting and exciting thing to happen in Spanish music for a long time. Hope you enjoy her! Here's a clip of her performing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cssomeone 1,432 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 "Pienso en tu mirá" is one of my favorite songs of 2018 so far (and the video for it is amazing as well). I really hope she becomes more famous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown 444 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Not really a fan of trap elements (or trap in general), but I appreciate her artistry and the fact that she creates a new sound mixing flamenco and trap and that she references her own culture in the music instead of just ripping off american trap but watering it down at the same time. I hope she reaches to the latin american public and becomes more successful. Ella merece éxito. So starry eyed on the flowery hillside, breathless and fervid amid the dandelions.

Andreu 37,216 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I have only enjoyed Malamente off her discography, and besides the fact I more or less like the song it's amazin how she's made a genre which looked totally dead, sound current. Supporting catalan talent always duh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
