Rosalía talks about "Lux"

Rosalía talks to New York Times critics Jon Caramanica and Joe Cascarelli on Popcast about her latest avant-guard pop album, "Lux" and her creative process to produce innovative sounds in flamenco, reggaeton or in pop music. In Lux, Rosalía sings about spirituality, feminine sainthood, words and poetry in 13 different languages. "There has to exist another way of making pop", Rosalía claims.

The New York Times Popcast is very long (1':30"), so it is recommended for C2 students (machine subtitles are available). Some interesting expressions you can come across along the conversation are: to butter [you] up, to break out, lush [string arrangements], to swerve, a [white] canvas, an abyss, to honour, to relate [to an idea], realm, to wrap your head around, hagiography, a [blank] slate, to crave, to haunt, back and forth, [cultural] appropriation, to pursue, to jot down, to anaesthetize [my pain], a relic, to kick up, a rigorous [task], to hang out with, brutalist, breakthrough, to hit a wall, auteur, fair enough, [to lead me] astray, picky, train of thought, haiku, to have an impression, duende, to commit [yourself], to flip [it], a bodega, to grab, a pantry, a wafer, a raspberry, a nuance, puffy, mealy.

Lux is coming out on November 7th, you can also watch the official video of her lead single Berghaim.
