Sifting through the piles of press surrounding Rosalía Vila Tobella, words like "exciting," "futuristic," and "intriguing" come up a lot. The casual, US-based pop music listener has been hearing the Spanish singer's name more and more often, likely in conjunction with American or Canadian collaborators; there's Rosalía's joint single with the Weeknd, "La Fama," 2019's "Barefoot In The Park" with James Blake, and last year's "Lo Vas a Olvidar" with Billie Eilish, just for starters. But if you've been following the rise of Rosalía, you'll understand why journalists like to apply innovative adjectives to describe her artistry. Rosalía has been in conversation with classic Spanish folkloric music since her teen years, and, over the course of three albums, including the just-released MOTOMAMI, she has never stopped looking for ways to both engage with and modernize music's criterion collection.
