Rosalía – “Fucking Money Man” Video
Rosalía, the reigning queen of the modern music video, has a new one out today. The latest visual from the Barcelona pop futurist packages two new tracks, “Milionària” and “Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero.” (As Pitchfork points out, the latter title translates to “God Free Us From the Money.”) Both songs are featured in a video titled “Fucking Money Man” directed by Bàrbara Farré. Rosalía promoted the video with a full-page ad today in Spanish newspaper El País.
“Milionària” is an upbeat pop track punctuated with cries of “Fucking money, man!” Its part of the video stars Rosalía as a contestant on a low-budget The Price Is Right-type game show with infomercial vibes. “Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero” returns to the spacious, Flamenco-influenced experimentalism of last year’s masterpiece El Mal Querer — an album that ranked highly on our year-end list and probably would rank even higher if we remade it today. That part of the video offers a visual complement for that sound, with Rosalía in an outfit influenced by traditional Spanish fashions singing somberly in front of a ring of fire.
Rosalía has kept up a busy release schedule since El Mal Querer dropped last fall. This year she’s released singles “Con Altura” and “AUTE CUTURE,” contributed a song to the Game Of Thrones-inspired For The Throne compilation, and guested on James Blake’s “Barefoot In The Park.” She also brought her live show to America for the first time this year.
