Rosalia's albums are much more innovative than Shakira's, even if you ignore her last 3 efforts. I agree that Shakira's early lyricism is unmatched in general, but that's thanks to the genres she sings in that lend themselves for the lyrics to shine. Spanish pop rock, especially during the late 90s and early 2000s, was perfect for constructing elaborate but slick stories through lyrics. So at this point it's a matter of what you value more. However, I'm convinced Rosalía could deliver that level of lyricism when the right moment comes (it will).

I said what I said and that also applies to those you mentioned

Just loud and wrong. OP: Halsey doesn't belong in the conversation. By the time she released music, Tumblr was already a parody of itself.

Another reminder that Berghain is top 5 songs of the decade so far. And that we will only be saved throught divine intervention.

She actually said: My costume is not your culture

If the single doesn't drop with an album pre order then I'll have my doubts about the album date... Anyway, i'm excited!

Anyway, Lux is AOTY.

Him feeding into it is the best thing promotional wise for the song. Such a d*mb*ss lmao

It's interesting that the lyrics have been available since minute 1 on Spotify. Some of the songs also have translation available (into Spanish, for me), is it the same for other languages?

I have been trying so hard to avoid the snippets and the leaks, I haven't listened to Reliquia and I plan not to until the album release, but I think I have been exposed to most of the album lyrics by now so much teasing

Does The Times count for Metacritic? I think it doesn't

And apparently she said no because Madonna wanted it for free sjsjsjs that was the token headline when Rosalía first rose to the Spanish mainstream

Is this being released this Friday for real?

The official Spanish charts are not that relevant (imagine current Billboard but without the legacy), but I'm still mad Malamente was blocked from #1 (and Pienso en tu mirá)

The pitchfork review for Berghain was absolute trash, it wasn't even a review. Their Motomami review was also a bit lukewarm, all things considered. It seems like they are mad that everyone caught up with them after they were one of the first anglo media to review her with El Mal Querer and they now want to act superior.
