Not many people would put their money on a mix of flamenco, R&B and electro – at least, on paper it sounds a bit cheesy. And yet, Rosalía Vila Tobella has made it work. Critics have been praising the Catalan for the “new flamenco” she developed on her 2017 Los Angeles album, and this year she shows no sign of slowing down. Since releasing Malamente, the contagious first track from El Mal Querer in May 2018, with a music video directed and produced by the Spanish group Canada, she has earned 5 nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards. And Rosalía is following up with yet more brilliance: featuring on J Balvin’s album Vibras, recording in the studio with Pharrell Williams and being called up for Pedro Almodovar’s next film…
So here it is, the highly anticipated new album produced by El Guincho, a Spaniard signed by the English label Young Turks who has a passion for sampling tropical beats and enjoys cutting and pasting hand-claps, finger-clicks and sometimes Rosalía’s voice, as we hear on De Aqui No Sales, which is reminiscent of Björk’s work. Bagdad is a combination of R&B and flamenco, while there’s more of a shift towards electro on Que No Salga La Luna. The Spanish singer generally focuses on melody, though does at certain points divulge in more experimental sounds and it’s there that we see the more adventurous side of her phenomenal voice. © Smaël Bouaici
