FfFfFfFF 55,739 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 This day in 2018, Rosalía released her second album El Mal Querer. The album is a stample in her relatively short discography so far. Based on the 13th-century Occitan novel Flamenca, each of the 11 songs represents a chapter. The album in a combination of several genres, such as: Latin pop, new flamenco, alternative R&B, reggaetón and experimental. Music Videos Photoshoot Have you listened to this album?

COOOK 76,406 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 One of the most intriguing sounds of the last 10 years and one of the best concept albums ever! Yeah I said that! Los Angeles was stellar and EMQ genius so I really wish this reggaeton fase is not here to stay... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsemanche 93,749 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 One of my favorite albums ever! Its concept and execution are genius. To think she made this for her university senior study course I hope she ditches her current sound and goes back to more experimental and distinct production with her next album Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deagan 608 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I really tried to get into it but because I don't speak Spanish and maybe don't understand the Spanish culture she includes in her music, I just can't make myself like it... I do think she's really talented and some of the vocals she delivers are insane! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORMANDIE 1,586 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The storytelling is implacable. One in a million. Eso sí, como subí con dos ángeles Pues, no me arrepiento de haber bajado Pero bajar, bajé, ¡eh! Bajar, bajé Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I fear she can never top this Most of her new work feels like she is just trying to emphasise how good EMQ was The Filip Ćustić artworks are some of the most beautiful album visuals I've ever seen. And the Pienso en tu Mira video matched the album so perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,479 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I only really got into this album in January this year, but my god it’s brilliant I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 55,739 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Not a single truly negative comment!

I do think she's really talented and some of the vocals she delivers are insane! That's totally understandable! For me the only thing that matters is the music in itself and essentially just how pleasant it sounds. Every other aspect (like Language or culture) come in second for me. But for others listening to music is inherentely a subjective experience and your enjoyment of a song depends on the culture and references behing it ofc.

This reoccurring flamenco clap thing on the album, even though they differ in metric and such per song, all sound the same to me (boring), and I'm just left sitting there like "ok, it sounds the same, maybe the story is great? Maybe some lyrical references to other flamenco things are there? I don't understand". I did love Malamente though, it was catchy, had this nice hip hoppy sound to it. I'm secretly hoping she does a bit more commercial... oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesescake 3,999 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 1. She's raising, her label will want her make more mainstream music, she'll tell us "this is the music that can represent her," old fan won't like it, but she'll become so popular and become next Shakira or Jlo. In this timeline she may drop some experimental project. 2. Make the music that more experimental, old fan like her, she may become superstar too consider this generation can accept alternative style artist like Billie Eilish. She may have some pop banger like Con Altura. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
