Rosalía: so fucking beautiful

 

 

Remember Rosalía? One of the most spectacular musical newcomers of last year, as far as I’m concerned. Gives a modernist twist to the ages old tradition of flamenco, pairs a stern combativeness to a tender fragility, soft love/hard resolution, melancholic familiarity/brutal alienation.

Notice how this song absorps you in Rosialía’s warm passion, and all of a sudden she sounds like someone recorded her on his iPhone in a Sevillan bar, late at night, almost everyone gone.

Check out her genius and beautifully poetic album Los Angeles. (PB)
