Rosalía’s latest single, Tuya, arrived last Friday from Japan, the country where she filmed the video clip for a song that has been talked about for its sexual content, a “high” sex that the singer from Sant Esteve de Sesrovires is not aware of. hide. This was demonstrated this morning in the interview she offered to Ernest Codina and Albert Buscarons at rac105, where the artist recalled that “there are many women who have expressed themselves with great freedom” giving examples of Madonna, Björk or the rapper Lil ‘Kim, all of them artists “who have not limited the themes they dealt with”.
In this sense, Rosalía does not consider that the fact of singing reggaeton makes it easier to talk about sex, “the codes you use, as a musical style, are independent of what you want to explain”, remembering that in her music there are reggaeton influences, yes, but also flamenco or techno, and that doesn’t stop him from talking about what he creates.
What seems ruled out is the arrival of a new album. Yours is not the advance of anything, it corresponds “to a moment of being on a trip, of a lot of madness, with the tour and many things happening at the same time.” The singer has highlighted that for her her singles are related to “enjoyment”, with “going to the studio without the pretense of locking myself away to do a project”, a feeling that she wants to convey to her fans. That is why she affirms that her new song is “for dancing, for people to enjoy.”
The artist has also ruled out publishing more songs in Catalan for now, as she did with Milionària. “I am not closed to making music in different ways”, she said and explained that for her singing in Catalan “was a new thing because she had never composed from there”, since she feels more comfortable singing in Spanish. In any case, she does not rule out using Catalan later on (the language she uses to speak with her mother and her brother) “but it depends on the project, there is music like flamenco that for me is natural to sing in Spanish”. On the contrary, she has affirmed that “if I do a rumba I sing it in Catalan”, and she has not ruled out dedicating a song to Cadaquès, “one of my favorite places for years”.
The interviewers have reminded Rosalía -who has used Catalan throughout the interview-, the words she said in her last concerts at Primavera Sound: “This begins to weigh”, a statement that the artist has confirmed, highlighting that being a a year and a half on tour “is very strong” because of what it means to be tired and to stay away from home. In any case, she has made it clear that she said these words at the concert “out of gratitude” for what she is experiencing, and acknowledged “being very happy and grateful to be able to do it and share the music all over the world.”
The singer has confirmed some previously reported information, such as that she owns a house in Manresa, named La Morera, or that she refused to sing on Madonna’s birthday because “the situation just didn’t fit”, although she was willing to do so another time if possible. In the same way, she stated that she would love to do a duet with Beyoncé, as some rumors claimed that she had done, which Rosalía ruled out.
What he has done is play soccer, specifically futsal in his town, Sant Esteve de Sesrovires, when he was a teenager. “In the town there was no women’s team, and we inaugurated it because I have always liked to play soccer.” It is understandable, therefore, that he was excited to see that Barça wore the Motomami logo on the shirt. It was at Barça-Madrid on March 19, a meeting that caught the artist in Latin America. “I freaked out”, she said, recalling that “I was very excited that we won, that it brought them luck to wear the Motomami shirt”.
