Dad Reacts to ROSALÍA - LUX
Comments (119)
Going back and listening to old eps lol. I feel like ideally Rosalia would be performing in opera theatres. Obviously most of them are too small for the crowds she pulls in but in an ideal world that is where I’d want to see her. I live in St. Louis so I’m imagining her at Powell Hall or the Peabody Opera theatre. Indoors with amazing acoustics.
very boring reaction. This masterpeace ends and you just speak about learning other langages? really? Nothing to say about the experience? The album as whole? The end of the journey? A resume of the quality and valoration of the musical level?. wow
Making sense of this comment could replace waterboarding.
Wow wow wow!! This album gave me chills 🥹😭✨
Ideally the Chicago theatre venue would of been great
This album is special. Never heard anything like it before.
Oh my goodness it was so nice to hear you guys bring Spellling up! I was the one that introduced Kev to Little Deer on stream all those years ago, so it’s awesome that it’s stuck with you!
Also, please show Kevin a Björk record. Literally any of them will do but my recs are: Debut, Homogenic, Vespertine (PERFECT WINTER ALBUM), and Post. But again, any album will blow Kevin’s mind, especially since he’s such a big fan of unique vocalists. Edit: 2 seconds after I typed that, Connor said “I’ll probably have to show you Vespertine some day”. I for one would love to see it ◡̈
The lyric videos have English translation 😊 you can react to those!! I see it as a typography’s interpretation of the music.
would love to see a reaction to Afterglow by FKA Twigs!
Please React Data - Tainy the best álbum urban of all time!
Patiently waiting for data by Tainy!!!!
Well In Copenhagen, i would love to see her in a orchestral theatre called The Opera House, i think it would fit perfect for this album.
Brilliant album. Hope you guys do Euro-Country by CMAT at some point too <3
I’m begging you do a part 2 with you guys reading the translated lyrics as you hear it. I will send you money. My dear Diosalia I beg of thee
You have to listen to "vespertine" by Bjork
FUCK yes
Most ideally I would like to see her in a orchestral theatre but I can see maybe a nice outdoor venue at sundown would be a good vibe
The track "memória" features Carminho, who is one of the biggest Fado singers of Portugal at the moment. Most of the song is in Portuguese as it was originally a Carminho song feat Rosalia, but she requested it for her album. It is very nice seeing portuguese music, specifficaly fado (a very melancolic music genre), being showcased to the whole world, a very proud moment specially since it is a beautiful song. Note: i believe the guitar being played is the portuguese guitar, a 12 string guitar used in fado.
Would be awesome to see her at Dalhalla in sweden, incredible venue.
Spanish speaker 🇪🇸 don’t be jealous 🫠 I am jealous you guys can listen to this without sobbing because the lyrics are so gutting. Rosi is an absolute angel.
Kings Theatre in Brooklyn for NYC the lighting and seating are stunning
Okay now listen to Bleeds by Wednesday!!!!
You should react to mitski !! Her latest album especially
please do sunburn by dominic fike
In an interview Rosalía gave about the record she talked about how she worked very hard to write lyrics in different languages, fact-checking with native speakers and really putting respect on these languages. She’s an artist on another level
you should def listen to El Mal Querer! this album reminds me so much of her early work and it’s a masterpiece
also still would love to support you with the spanish pronunciation
I just love when the artist does whatever the fuck they want on the record. Especially a pop artist. It is so refreshing to not hear the same type of songs. We have this baroque church on top of the hill near Olomouc, Czechia where I'm from. I think she would sound heavenly in a space like that :) https://www.ok-tourism.cz/en/cil/basilica-minor-of-the-visitation-of-the-virgin-mary-1/
Thank you for this! I'm also not religious one bit but I find this album really stunning and even though there's a lot of christian symbolism in it (obviuosly since Rosalía believes in god and this is a really personal album), I think it's as much about spirituality general, and about finding peace in this world of chaos. That's why I love how she's incorporated different languages to the songs and drawn inspiration from saints of different cultures and faiths. I think this kind of approach is really nice in the world where usually religions are pitted against each other and religious people vs. atheists also.
Sydney Opera House but I doubt she’ll ever come to Australia 🫠
I’m from Prague, Czechia. Would be crazy to see her in “Rudolfinum - Dvořákova síň” that shit is made for stuff like this
Loved this!! Please react more to Beyoncé!!🙏🏼
Kings theater in nyc or Carnegie hall!!
Yes or at Lincoln Center!
Please do a kali uchis react
EsDeeKid - Rebel, I think you guys would like this
Like a theater or symphony hall for sure. She'd have to tour with an orchestra so something made for the acoustics dfw has a few options that will work.
Music hall at fair park Bass Theater The moody theater Winspear Opera House Texas trust txu theater Just to name a few
Maybe a bit unrealistic but a lot of churches here in Europe do classical music concerts so watching her perform this album inside a baroque or just any old church would be insane.
paid the patreon just to watch this video! as a spanish person it makes me really happy to see you appreciate her music even if there’s a language barrier. i really recommend rosalia’s 2nd album el mal querer which is a conceptual album inspired by a novel called flamenca, it was also her bachelor’s degree thesis project. i’m a big fan of the channel, thank you for reacting to great albums and helping me discover new artists!
London resident here! Rosalia at the Royal Albert Hall would be insane but also somewhere like The Roundhouse (even though the sound is awful sometimes) or the Union Chapel. Could only imagine how beautiful this would be in a historic outdoor space in Spain or Italy, though.
Leon Thomas- PHOLKS Yall gotta hear Baccarat!
Subbed to watch yall react to this masterpiece ♥️✨
Yves Tumor’s 2023 album is an absolute banger as well
i neeed olivia dean
If you like divinize, you might like Erin LeCount’s I am Digital, I Am Divine EP. It has a similar blend of electronic with strings and great vocals
The outro of La Yugular, where she sings about how every thing in this world is contained within - and is connected to - the next thing, culminating with that Patti Smith quote literally got me crying in the middle of the street yesterday. Such an incredible piece of work, insane to think she took a whole year just to research the theology, and history behind all the saints that inspired the songs.
The writing is also so good. Really recommend looking them up if you can cause they add a lot.
Streets are saying La Perla is about her ex-fiance Rauw Alejandro, another great Latin artist you guys should definitely react to his album Cosa Nuestra!!
Cosign
day 1 of asking for night time my time by sky ferreira
From Dallas, Texas here. We have the Meyerson Symphony Center which is the perfect venue for this album.
I could see Winspear Opera House as well
I’m obsessed with this already, I’d love to see her in the Kennedy center symphony hall
Olivia Dean when
Subscribed just for this reaction it’s just such an incredible album I love watching people experience it for the first time 🙏
Same! Should've done it a long time ago though, I love the content
if you listen to El Mal Querer, Mundo Nuevo is a call back to the track Reniego! If she came to Miami, it would be at the Arscht Center thanks for listening! This album is my aoty.
this album is truly something special - something that only Rosalía could do. she is a world class one-in-a-lifetime artist. also my kings pls react to That’s Showbiz, Baby by Jade - a great big bombastic pop album with banger after banger
I second That’s Showbiz Baby! Such a fun album!
Please please please do Bjork! Her first two albums are incredible dance music, but I think you would both adore Homogenic. It's a perfect winter time album too
co-sign!! in terms of stuff that sounds even similar to this album, homogenic & vespertine should be on the list for yall!
need a reaction to COSPLAY by Sorry immediately!!! you’ll be blown away!
This album is wild! Glad some artists still want to take risks.
Spanish speaker here! Thanks for reacting to this AMAZING ALBUM 😍
I'm from Armenia and she's probably never gonna have a concert here but if she would, it would have to be at the national opera and ballet theatre
I’m sure others have told you but she sings in 13 languages on this record. It’s broken into 4 acts and is supposed to sound like an opera or classical work. the main theme is straddling the physical word with the divine (and divine while has a lot of overt Christian references is also the spiritual, love, the general intangible). For example the opening song is literally saying who could come to the earth and enter into the sky / heaven then come back to earth as if there were to be no floor / divider (and the “heaven” here could be anything like actual religion, or falling in love, or creating art). It’s such a maximalist record and asks a lot of the listener but in the world of quick dopamine fixes if you give this record the intention it deserves it returns dividends. It reminds me of walking through a bustling city during the day with all the chaos and noise but then you look up and catch a glimpse of the moon. The dichotomy of noise and physical life around you with the spiritual stillness of the moon sitting above. Also last fun fact: La Perla is such a WILD diss track for her ex Rauw Alejandro, the Puerto Rican artist. La Perla means the pearl in Spanish but here in Spain calling someone a pearl is a way to call someone a no good lying cheater bad egg basically. But ALSO La Perla is the neighborhood he comes from in San Juan. So it’s not even a double entendre but a triple entendre like he looks good from the outside but he’s a fuckup “emotional terrorist, walking red flag” in her words 😂
As an Australian, I would love to see Rosalía at the Sydney Opera House.
Also Australian but would love to see her at The Gov in Adelaide.
I’m from Spain, and listening to this here has been incredible, an amazing feeling. It’s an album unlike any of the ones that are coming out; it’s a different sound and stellar innovation. I remember when “El Malquerer” was released and how famous Rosalía became here in Spain, and how much I listened to it, to the point where she became one of my favorite artists. I’d love for you to listen to that album because then you’d understand how she started and how this great artist has evolved.
Detroit - I’d like to see her either at the Fox Theater for the vibes or the DSO hall for the acoustics. This album is a masterpiece!! I highly recommend you listen to the lyric version on YouTube. Animated lyrics for each song with English subtitles (to my knowledge they’re accurate and submitted by Rosalía). There is a lot of story here that yall need to experience. Always requesting James Blake’s Assume Form or 070 Shake’s Petrichor
i'm in los angeles and i would love to see this album performed live at the walt disney concert hall or maybe one of our local theatres like the dolby theatre
Pleaasee react to El Mal Querer, also from Rosalía. It's amazing.
Hope u guys read this. 🥰Rosalia spent more than a year writing lyrics for the album, no production, lyrics only. She said the most important thing about the album are in fact the lyrics, all of the themes, how deep they are, and how they narrate different stories about female saints and different perspectives on god. Dios es un stalker and la rumba del perdon are from God’s perspective. The former is sarcastic and funny, the ladder is more of a judgement to all of human sin. Hope this helps.
As a spanish speaker, this tears me appart. This album crushes ur soul, it’s SO deep. Lyrics are just pure poetry
Palacio de las Bellas Artes in México City would be a great place to perform this album
Hugs from Barcelona! I think Palau de La Musica would be addecuate for this album, look for pictures of the building, it's insanely beautiful. Can't wait for the tour. By the way, in Divinize she sings in Catalan (her native language), not Spanish! Glad you enjoyed the album 🥰
Yessss! You are so right, as a spanish speaker this was such an amazing listening experience and her lyrics are really really beautiful. I cried several times.
one of the best of the year, probably the decade tbh. I was floored listening to this. I knew y’all would be blown away too. I did one listen like you just feeling the music and then another with lyrics and the lyrics just take it to another level. her recent interviews are also worth watching, she explains the meaning and intention behind the album so beautifully. if you want to check out another incredible recently released album in spanish, i highly highly recommend FEMME FATALE by Mon Laferte. so so so good
album of the decade:
SIIII
yall should watch Selena's Astrodome performance
Y'all should listen to Olivia Dean's new album!! I think its incredible...
I love the fact that in the span of two weeks we had two albums that deal with spirituality and religion in two different way: LUX by Rosalia and Everybody Scream by Florence + the Machine. It's interesting how they both come from a place of studying and research and the delivery is from two amazing and ethereal singers, Rosalia and Florence Welch. If you've never heard it I would really recommend it to experience the full spectrum on the themes of religion and spirituality.
Spotify has a button where it shows u the lyrics translated and in sync already. It was all ready once the album came out
i'd absolutely love to see her perform at TD Garden in boston
In Belgium the best place to perform this would be ‘Koningin Elisabethzaal’ in Antwerp
My AOTY, thanks for reaction - will watch tomorrow! Wasn’t really huge on Bjork feature but man, I would pay to see you reacting to Vespertine and Homogenic. Vespertine literally gets me to heaven on every listen, what a masterpiece.
If she were to play this in a venue in NYC, it would have to be the Metropolitan Opera House or Kings Theatre
i need to listen to this live in a concert hall. Boettcher Concert Hall in denver is the only kinda cool place near me that comes to mind,.
gorgeous album from a one of a kind vocalist & artist... had high expectations and she still exceeded them. crazy. great video as always !
I was at the listening party for this album in NYC. I cried during Reliquia and Memória. The way she has taken the time to research saints alone is such a thing of beauty. Rosalía is someone who constantly delivers because she creates music for the artistry and expression itself. She has such a talent for expressing her feelings and thoughts via music. This album delivers such a refreshing sound that it’s already received such superb critiques. Highly recommend listening to Los Ángeles and El Mal Querer too. Also, she had not only the lyrics posted the day of release on Spotify but the translations as well!!!
Good Morning ❤️🔥 I hope everyone has a cozy Sunday! Definitely gonna lay on the couch and watch with yall! ☕️ Checking my scorecard: Sabrina carpenter-x2 album reactions Rosalia- x2 album reactions Rihanna-x1 album reactions SZA-x2 album reactions Addison Rae-x1 album reactions Taylor swift-x2 album reactions Willow-0 album reactions Let’s find some balance soon 🤞🏾
You blessed our Sundays
Hola compas
His inclusion on this record was very minimal but you guys should absolutely check out Yves Tumor! They have some super interesting experimental rock and their album 'Praise a lord who chews but which does not consume' is a great jumping on point for their music!
yes! i was pissed when i realized there wasn't a real Yves feature. i feel like they'd both definitely mess with Praise a Lord or Heaven to a Tortured Mind
Had to subscribe for this album lets go!
Hey guys, italian here! Mio cristo piange diamanti is fully in italian. Also for sure if she comes to Rome she needs to perform in Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone, it fits perfectly for the vibes of this amazing album.
Please look up photos from her listening party, it is the most ethereal thing I’ve seen in a while
divaaaanizee 🤌
ah and btw, divinize is not In Spanish, its all Catalan. Its a language spoken in the northeastern region of Spain, where Rosa is from.
On the subject of secular spirituality, I’m reading No Nonsense Spirituality by Brittney Hartley right now and would highly recommend!
My second 10/10 album this year. Absolutely blown away on each listen
what is your first 10/10
YESSSSSSS. I cried multiple times to this album just because it’s so moving from an audio standpoint.
Thank you for this, now it’s time for some Björk albums please 🙏🤍
Yes! - K
