Rosalía: Lux review – a demanding, distinctive clash of classical and chaos that couldn’t be by anyone else | Rosalía | The Guardian

Rosalía's fourth album ditches pop for orchestral chaos — 13 languages, female saints, Björk, London Symphony Orchestra. Deliberately demanding, defiantly unlike anything before it.

Rosalía's new album, LUX, is a deeply disappointing Eurocentric fever dream

Rosalía's *LUX* is technically stunning but culturally hollow, argues this critic — praising the artistry while condemning its Eurocentric erasure of Latina roots.

‘LUX’ Album Review: Rosalía Redefines the Holy | Arts | The Harvard Crimson

Rosalía's *LUX* earns a rare perfect score — a grand, mysticism-soaked meditation on femininity and divinity that refuses to play it safe.
