Berghain<\/strong><\/a> featuring alt-pop icon Bj\u00f6rk calling for \u201cdivine intervention\u201d while American artist Yves Tumor giving an alternative perspective from one of Mike Tyson\u2019s psych-ups, \u201cI\u2019ll fuck you till you love me.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd while the classical orchestra are the central sound of the album, some of its absolute best moments are when Rosal\u00eda breaks it up with bits of levity and familiar sounds, like the quippy<\/p>\n
Novia Robot about a purchasable model of female subservience, or the masterful marriage of Spanish flamenco, Portuguese fado and bombastic violins in Nuevo Mundo.<\/p>\n
Finally, the parting gift is the album\u2019s closing track Magnolia. A rising piece where Rosal\u00eda imagines her casket adorned with flowers as she laments the impermanence of life to the accompaniment of church organs and choirs. Building up to go out with a bang, it instead does so with a whimper \u2013 lingering notes that leave us longing for a material ending.<\/p>\n
A few times in a generation there comes along a sound that so radically goes against the conventions of a genre that it redefines its very boundaries.<\/p>\n
Bob Dylan\u2019s marriage of soulful folk lyrics and electric rock sounds in Highway 61 Revisited forced contemporaries to alter the very vocabulary used when talking about rock and roll. Kanye\u2019s expanded emotional and stylistic range in 808s & Heartbreak is still probably the defining rap album of this century, with hundreds of works on the top charts since then owing their origins and inspirations to Ye.<\/p>\n
Now, to say that Rosal\u00eda\u2019s Lux will have the same influence and staying power is impossible to say, especially in a world where pop music is produced at a breakneck pace, with an algorithmic precision and for ever-shortening attention spans.<\/p>\n
But in that sense, LUX can be read as a protest against those very conditions. Rosal\u00eda\u2019s fourth studio album is defined by how it sounds completely unlike anything else.<\/p>\n
And while it\u2019s something not the easiest to digest, the themes that probably won\u2019t resonate with all listeners, being privy to a journey and transformation so complete, spectacular, enticing and technically complete is a privilege in and of itself.<\/p>\n
Outstanding 9\/10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
