Album Review: Motomami by Rosalía
Fantastic, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 9/10
Her first record - Los Angeles - is a haunting and poignant collection of Spanish folk songs, with bare instrumentals and an obsession with mortality. It was a skeletal record which seemed to exist to showcase her rich and masculine voice, but everything which came after it might as well have been the work of another artist entirely. One year later she turned to making brash, aggressive pop music with a weirdo edge, dabbling in trap, reggaeton and collaborating with Bad Bunny, The Weeknd and Travis Scott.
Opinion: Fantastic
Rosalía has long since proved herself to be an icon. Re-contextuaising her Catalan heritage within a 21st century pop landscape, she's been able to blend outright studio futurism with a sense of the distant past, gaining a rabid international audience in the process. While the English speaking world may have been slow to cotton on to her magic, Rosalía broke out with 2018's 'El Mal Querer' and the ecstatic live shows that followed.
