Rosalia gets a PERFECT score for her new album

[llemesm 1,776]

Rosalía’s LUX is already making history before its official Spanish release.

 

The Guardian: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

The Times: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Rolling Stones Brazil: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

 

Alexis Petridis from The Guardian gave Lux five out of five stars, describing it as “a truly captivating and immersive experience” and praising Rosalía’s voice as “a fireworks display of talent.” Daniela Swidrak from Rolling Stone Brazil also gave it five out of five stars and wrote: “The album moves between intimacy and operatic scale… it is an ambitious emotional arc, a radiant world where sound, language, and culture merge into one.”

Pop’s most provocative chaos agent delivers a transcendent album that sounds like nothing else in music right now. 

Both Rolling Stone and The Guardian have given it a perfect 5/5 — the highest possible score — and the praise couldn’t be louder.

 

According to Rolling Stone, LUX is “radically different, more ambitious than Motomami, and infinitely bolder.” They describe it as a spiritual ascent through music, where Rosalía’s voice “has never sounded so divine, reaching operatic heights with flawless control.” The review calls it “an operatic masterpiece that redefines what it means to be a pop star — absurdly brilliant from start to finish.”
 

Meanwhile, The Guardian calls it “a demanding and distinctive clash between the classical and the chaotic that could only come from Rosalía.” It highlights how the album blends sacred themes, experimental soundscapes, and emotional rawness into something completely new.

With 18 songs divided into four movements, LUX isn’t background music — it’s an immersive experience meant to be heard in full. Or, as Rolling Stone puts it: “Don’t shuffle this while washing dishes — this album deserves your full attention.”

But how we take these reviews like. Rolling Stone has given 5 stars to Lux and Life of a Showgirl. 

Jk but I was expecting this. Lux seems to be this huge project even more ambitious and artistic than Motomami. I’m so damn excited.

You're right, Taylor could fart on the mic and Rolling Stone would still give her 6 out of 5 stars.

I've listened to 2 songs + 5 snippets + De Madruga (unreleased) and I can confidently say this will be AOTY and it't not even close.

I haven’t heard a or of her music but given her very impressive musical and academic background it’s quite clear she is a prodigy. I’m excited to hear a project from her for the first time fully.

Rosalia is a brilliant artist that always explores new territory. Who else but her would have made such a wild choice for a lead single? I had the pleasure of seeing her live on the Motomami tour and her stage presence was immense.
