HullabaLUX | Hullabaloo weighs in on Rosalia’s modern masterpiece!


Listen Later

She sang in 13 languages, broke streaming records in a single day, and got best new music from Pitchfork for the third time. Rosalía is doing something that shouldn't be possible — and Hullabaloo finally sat down to talk about it.

In this episode, Nikolai and Chad review LLLUX, Rosalía's fourth album and arguably her most ambitious yet — a sweeping, ethereal meditation on the divine, surrender, and what it means to reach for something transcendental. Chad calls it a 10 out of 10 from the very first listen. Nico gives it a 9.5 and cries every single time track five comes on.

They get into how she went from getting booed on a Spanish reality show at 16 to becoming one of the most important artists alive, why LLLUX is the sister album to Björk's Vespertine, the Burghain music video that left Nico and his friend completely speechless, and what it actually means to be a pop artist who refuses to make pop music.

Also: Prague, edibles that were basically hallucinogens, Taylor Swift's alleged bot farms, and Chad's S550 Mercedes having a very bad month.
