Thanks king!!!!!!!!!!

Marco Rubboli

This album was such a disappointment to me

Jess

Hi Zack, I’m so excited to watch your reaction! I just wanted to mention that Rosalía isn’t Latina, she’s actually from Spain. She’s been criticised before for cultural appropriation, so I totally get the mix-up, but I had to point it out 😭

Jess

🫶🏼

JJ

It‘s like my Album of the year it’s so good Jesus Christ I love love love this I can’t stop listening

Marina

listen to los ángeles !! she has flamenco training that's why she sings that way (and also has a very beautiful voice) that album made her famous in Spain from the start, the most famous song is catalina

Carla Ferreira

Portuguese here, was so excited for Zach to hear Carminho for the first time and he skips it 😭

Oriana Baldizan

Thanks for taking the time to explore and share your thoughts with us. I liked many songs of the album but I got lost a bit on the second half.

brandon

rosalia earned a degree in flamenco theory and her sophomore album was her thesis project, so the technical conservatory level training + this avant garde experimentation yea….. dua lipa could never😭 NO SHADE LMAO

Dmytro Rudeichenko

so excited for zack to listen to some ukrainian 🇺🇦😭😭😭

Marta Boldú

Divinize is in catalan, my mothertongue :___ (and rosalia's) it's so weird watching you react to this, but so refreshing! Really appreciate you exploring different things!

Noelia

Love your reaction! If you want to do a Rosalía Deepdive, just know that: If you want to dance: Motomami If you want storytelling: El Mal Querer If you want angelic sounds: Los Angeles She also has some more commercial singles like New Woman with Lisa!

JJ

Well 11 languages were sung in the album Spanish Catalan (own language but sounds like a mix of French and Spanish) English Ukrainian (in the madruga song) German Japanese Arabic Portuguese Italian Latin (French in a bonus song) You didn’t get the album wrong but it’s more the spiritual psychosis you enter (through her catholic lenses) that happens after a deep heart break betrayal kinda like the psychosis Taylor went through TTPD Where her ex Rauw (puertorican raper) is super charismatic and huge betrayed her and the hurt a man inflicts that’s so deep you HAVE to turn to your spirituality (her being the culturally catholic-Catalan one. I have to say for the girlies like me that related to TTPD deeply this album is what comes right after TTPD the deep healing you have to undertake. I mean after what I call my TTPD experience I had to turn to religion and spirituality so I deeply feel this album + I can speak Spanish but the most beautiful lyrics are actually the Japanese and Arabic ones in this album in my opinion. Thank you Zach for this reaction! Love JJ!!

JJ

She also captures so beautifully what like Western Europe’s positive essence is with the language mix, like the classical + modern production I’m just in awe

João Xavier

Some things you should know about the album/ROSALÍA - Rosália is Spanish, more specifically from Barcelona, Cataluña. - The first two albums genres are flamenco/flamenco adjacent (a traditional musical spanish genre) and MOTOMAMI is more on the reggaeton/neoperreo side, wich is more like the genre that Bad Bunny does. LUX has some flamenco influences (like La Rumba Del Perdón, track 13) but it's really different from everything she's done before. - She did grow up catholic (as most southern europeans) and the influence is clear in this album. However, she said that every single song is supposed to represent a different Saint, even ones from other places that aren't in Europe and other religions. That's the reason that through out the record she sings in fourteen languages, including arabic, hebrew, japanese and mandarin. - The album was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, one of the most renowned orchestras in the world. - The man she's ending at La Perla, Track 7 is Rauw Alejandro, a Puerto Rican singer, considered one of the biggest names in reggaeton. They were engaged but called it off Really glad you gave this a chance, even though it may not be easy. Keep with the good work, Zach. Fun fact: I have to say this as a portuguese guy. Carminho, the singer featured in Memória, track 14, has met Taylor Swift at the Poor Things premiere (she was part of the soundtrack). They talked a little and Taylor was mesmerized by her voice and how she played the portuguese guitar. It was Taylor herself that asked her to take a photo with her

Miss_Lippy

Gorgeous songs. Stunning vocals and production. It was moving and emotionally intense. But it’s almost *too* intense for me to listen to regularly. Like it’s so cinematic and dramatic that it feels like a film score & would probably be great used in movies too but it’s not exactly easy listening so I’d have to be in a very specific mood to go back for more.

CamilleC

yes please react to Motomami and El mal Querer(my fav) it's more upbeat and the vocals are still amazing. i remember listening to the song Catalina from her first EP and was in aw of her voice. it's a bit difficult to understand the subteties of her lyrics when spanish isn't your first language i agree, but with genius it's ok. Love shyologist haha

Mira

Щось мені здається, він навіть не зрозумів, що то інша мова, тим більше українська 😅😬

Ilina Jha

Good on you for stepping outside your comfort zone! This was my first introduction to Rosalia too, and I am equally amazed.

Andreja

Amazing project as per usual for Rosalia. You need to liste to Motomami FAST ❤️‍🔥

Jess

Weirdly enough, even though I admire Lux’s artistic vision and Rosalia as an artist, I think this album just isn’t for me. Maybe I’m just too basic for it, to be honest. I do really like La Perla though! And as a Spanish speaker, I still found El Mal Querer more captivating and better written

Ian Matta

(patiently waiting for you to react to debi tirar mas fotos)

StellaBella

Thank you so much for reacting ❤️

Lisa M

Been waiting for your reaction! She’s so good!! ‼️👏

Natalie Topalian

13 languages, this music brought me to tears multiple times 🥺😭🫶

Jaymie

I'm not Christian/Catholic nor religious, but this album is the most religious experience I've had. It's the most beautiful music I've ever listened to EVER. I need to go to Europe now, go to a church, and listen to this album alone in candlelight.

Natalie Topalian

Did you catch in the second verse of La Perla she’s sharpening a knife then using it for percussion?

Evelynn

Rosalia is so amazing, you should definitely react to El Mal Querer (the album that first got her famous) and then MOTOMAMI, she's kind of the Bjork of our generation in the manner she is constantly experimenting and has switched up so significantly each album.

nadi45

get into motomani immediately😭

Andres

album of the year for me the writing is craaaazy i haven’t felt like this probably since tortured poets!! 💫

Natalia

really excited you listened to Lux!!! I think it’s vulnerable to react to something in a language you don’t know, so I respect you for doing this ❤️ I have *personal* feelings about Motonami as a Puerto Rican lol but I think you should give it a go!

Natalia

also Reliquia is the best thing she’s ever made! CHILLS

Katie

I had fun listening with you, even if you didn’t have a ton of immediate takes! I wanted to check out this album, but was a little intimidated haha. If you’re looking for a newer release in English, I’m really enjoying HOT POT! by Mikayla Geier.

Natalia

La Perla is about her Puerto Rican ex, Rauw. La Perla is also a very famous neighborhood in Puerto Rico 🤡 calling him a local disappointment when you consider the Bad Bunny of it all is CRAZY.

Abby

Porcelana gagged me to hell and back… actually

Abby

Also can I just say I love the way she talks about her art in her interviews. She is so fucking cool

Brinley Murray

it’s so freaky and gorgeous and different i really enjoyed it but definitely takes a lot of listens to wrap your head around

Abby

Alright ROSALÍoligist!!

Nicole Burgos

This álbum is a master piece. I am latina and was never into la Rosalía but damn! This is pure art. Ready for the tour. Glad you enjoyed it. Is always hard when you don’t speak the language. Do Debi tomar mas fotos next if bad bunny

izzy (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

La Perla as the title for that song where she tore Rauw a new one is a really crazy dig bc Rauw is from Puerto Rico and La Perla is like Thee Town that no one goes to bc it’s filled with soooo much unregulated crime and gang activity, & tourists are regularly killed there. It’s like well known on the island to locals that you NEVER GO THERE but there are frequent stories of tourists going there and being badly beaten or killed (Rosalia being the tourist in this metaphor and retroactively realizing that while he’s an international superstar to people abroad, he’s known locally as a disappointment & as being horrible to women.) the ARTISTRY!!!!!

Aaron M

This album might be top two of the decade so far for me. This and Renaissance.

João Xavier

Hahaha I have been a fan for many years and I do think she's one of the most interesting modern artists, but I do not have enough knowledge to claim that title

Rose

The latin community welcomes you with open arms. Bienvenido ❤️

Kirsten

No this is art. One of the most moving things I’ve ever heard in my life. Now I’m going to study these women that inspired so much of this incredible album.

Grady

So crazy that she sings in 13 different languages on this album...she's a walking masterpiece

Noah

While she herself is raised Catholic, I feel like a lot of the devotion/religiousity presented on the album is about faith in God in general and a personal relationship rather than through a specific church, which I find really admirable and accessible to ppl who maybe aren’t religious or have issues w the church, and it also makes an effort to incorporate different faiths and belief systems, not just catholicism in particular.

Ivan Cervera

Omg yes plz listen to motomami!!!! Even tho rosalia pmo and shows me spaniards are still in fact white, motomami is really that girl and definitely more your speed!!

dionís

Please, give ‘Motomami’ a try 😮‍💨🙏❤️ I think that it will be easier for you to enter into Rosalía’s world because it is more of a Pop (though experimental) album. Also, I think that her albums are lore-dependent, so maybe reading a little bit about it on Genius can help you understand more what it talks about. As a catalan-follower and a huge Rosalía’s fan, I really appreciated that you spent the time reacting to this. It means the world to me 🫶🏼 Thank you a lot Swiftologist!!!

mikeymasciola

it's like a movie soundtrack, and idk if that's a compliment or shade

Hayuwa a

I think if you liked this album, it's more similar to El Mal querer than motomami!

Hayuwa a

But motomami is probably easier to grasp and more pop

Jaime Quirós

As a Spaniard myself, this album has gagged me so much... What makes it really special for me and so good is that she didn't make this that much abouth christianity and the catholic church, but rather about the universality of faith and how much it joins people all around the world. For Rosalía, religion is first and foremost a personal thing, but at the same time, something billions of people in the world have in common. Hence her use of so many different languages, it represents how this is something that shouldn't be used for dividing the peoples of the world, but rather to connect them.

Irxuu

Aún no he escuchado el disco pero estoy fascinada de que seamos dos españoles por este patreon, me meo.

Jaime Quirós

JAJAJAJAJAA pues no se a que esperas es uno de los mejores que he escuchado en mi vida

Nefelibata

Thank you for reacting and giving it a try! We know it isn’t what you usually listen to, but this album is actually different for everyone. Unique!

Nefelibata

I also loved Magnolias. I cried during Memórias (because it is in Portuguese my first language) and Magnolias. Both play with the idea of *saudades*. You will miss yourself, you miss your childhood, you will miss other people, and you hope that people will miss you. My heart cracked open

Inés

I’m from Spain and we’re so proud of her here ❤️ she sings in 13 different languages and if you listen from to end transitions are INSANE it seems line one long song. She recorded it with London Orchestra. Thank you for reacting and appreciating!

Jasmine

Wow! Another album to add to my playlist, beautiful 👏

Emilio Reyes

yes king!!! im mexican and it was so weird seeing you hear music in spanish for the first time, loved it hahahahah you should definitely listen to motomami & el mal querer, motomami will be such a breath of fresh air after the maximalism of LUX, both are so good on their own right

Theodore Poole

please listen to motomami next! I am an english speaker and didn't understand the album but it still impacted me in such a significant way despite the language barrier. LUX is very abstract, even with translations, but motomami is minimalist and direct which I think you would appreciate more!

Beth González

PLEASE REACTO TO MOTOMAMI, i feel like you’ll get into it easier

Yell.ika

Please listen to bad bunny!!!!! Pleaseeee lol! Debir Tirar Más Fotos & Un Verano Sin Ti are soooo good

ffoxsake

Also the person reading the poem at the end of La Yugular you thought sounded like Madonna is Patti Smith ❤️

Esteban García

Not even I, native spanish speaker, understand it hahaha

Mauricio ⋆｡°✩

as someone who speaks spanish, i can't help but laugh every time you say "mi gente latina!!!!!" lmfao it sends me

Yell.ika

Thank you for this, king 👑 I’m loving this reaction and it is sooooo NOT BORING!!! Please do more reactions to music in Spanish!!

Lucia

El Swiftólogo! We love to see it!!!!

Enzo Reis

Motomami reaction!! It's so worth it, it's very camp, satirical, humoristic and smart. I feel you'll like it.

Ingrid Cruz

You say Lo siento a lot BUT you speak really good and have an amazing accent

Emma Wells

The CMT album does feel akin to this because they're so infused with the life and experience of the countries they're from. I'm Canadian and yet I feel absolutely transported by both pieces of work. This, CMAT, and Lily's albums are my favorites from 2025

hxgrl

in preparation for the grammys and during this slow release time it would be so cool if you listened to debí tirar más fotos by bad bunny! it’s definitely more a pop speed, really killing it with blending reggaeton and traditional salsas and cumbias and the like. mi gente latina this grammys, i’m praying for bad bunny sweep 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Jackie Lehman 💅🏼

This is such an interesting album! I would love to get the translations for each song, but the music it's self is so beautiful 🤩

tomatotime

Zach, this was a great call. I’m a Spanish fan and I bought the this video specifically because I wanted to see your reaction oh my goodness I’m so excited.

Drakon

Yo también soy español, jajajs

tiamat

I have never been awed and stopped like this by the production since Melodrama. This is next Melodrama to me, and, maybe with time, could supersede it.

Ellajoy

Zac I need to know how you have your matcha cos I HATE IT but I want to love it. Pls help me. I’m a coffee drinker usually.

Marianna D

Так, мені теж так здалося 🥲

Marianna D

Rosalia said in multiple interviews that almost every song on the album is based on the biographies of different saints. De Madrugá is based on the story of Ukrainian saint Olga of Kyiv who was a regent queen and she’s famous for her revenge story - she avenged her husband’s murder in a quite cruel way. So Rosalia uses Ukrainian language in the refrain “I’m not seeking revenge, revenge is seeking me”. It’s a direct callout to that story. By the way, she uses 13 languages in the album in total

Irulan1528

Oh Zack, you need to deep dive into Rosalía’s catalog. From Los Ángeles to Motomami, they’re ART PIECES. I do think tho, you would like Motomami the best. PS: Suena muy bien tu español, no tengas vergüenza!

ninamae4

I would have never listened to this if you didn’t post this review. It’s so unique and awesome. Thank you.

annie

idk how much you've revisited this but i know you were getting overwhelmed by the point Dios es un Stalker came on but you goottttt to relisten, love that one. Divinize is my favorite NO QUESTION but Reliquia is a very close second. also love La Perla (so funnyyy), and La Rumba del Perdón and Magnolias oh my godd. but the whole album is so good and so ambitious and intricate and just.....wow

annie

also De Madruga' and Porcelana have grown on me soo much

annie

(and yes, you did choose a very high art concept album as your first foray into an album in a different language—10 different languages in fact—LMAO but well....it's a great one at least!!)

chappell roan

I was very intrigued by the book you mentioned that your aunt wrote, I looked it up on Goodreads and it sounds amazing! the description genuinely hooked me so hard that I decided I needed to read it. know it is on the way to my house from amazon :)

Aemon

MOTOMAMI NEXTTTT

Bethany

Thank you for reviewing this one, Zach!! I heard it shortly after it first came out and wanted to be able to share the experience and take on it with other people but had found it difficult to find people around me who are acquainted with her music, especially given that it is primarily in Spanish (although I know she sings in 13 different languages on this ablum...the Japanese goes HARD)! For me, it's album of the year. It is unlike anything I've ever heard before, which I noticed you also thought almost verbatim. The first half of the album is so strong, but I agree that it it lost be a bit more in the back half of the album, except for Magnolias (and even though I like Savignon Blanc, it feels out of place, as you said). I am not a super emotional person, and Magnolias had me in tears. By the time I got to the end, I felt like I had gone on a deeply spiritual journey and bore witness to one of those pieces of art that forever changes you. Her range from first hearing Malamente years ago, to some of the songs from Motomami, to now this project...the girl has RANGE. She is a gift. And her VOICE is a gift. I agree that her approach feels very similar to Beyonce and am glad we have an artist like this to look forward to in the years to come to bring a higher concept album/discussion to our ears. Brava!!!

Helene

"A Spanish Dua Lipa"?! 😂💀 You deserve jail for that You're very cute when you get shy tho 🫶🏻

Angel Osuna

Lux is literarily the best album of the decade and will go down as one of the best in history is magic angelic and celestial

Angel Osuna

And please motomami is going to surprise you so goooddd is literally the oposite in the best way

Mar

Months late but I am sipping my matcha with you!!

miaw miaw fuzzy face

During Porcelana when the man first spoke and said SKERE - I literally stood up and went: "DUKI IS THAT YOU!? " and I was so disappointed when I ran to check the ft in the song and found out Duki is in fact NOT in the album anyway

Lou

Oh that's so interesting, never read this one before, it makes so much more sense now!!

Angel Osuna

Coming back cuz i love this vid
