Rosalía Explains ‘Lux’: 13 Languages! Heartbreak! Betrayal! Björk! (& ‘Euphoria’)

The experimental Spanish pop star sat down for an exclusive interview with Popcast, where she discussed her new album, “Lux,” in detail for the first time. The singer’s fourth album, out November 7, features 13 different languages, along with appearances by Björk and the London Symphony Orchestra. In this wide-ranging conversation, Rosalía explains why (and how) she pushed herself to make “Lux,” a labor of love exploring the feminine divine and the brutalities of romance, as well as her pop persona and forthcoming appearance on the new season of HBO’s “Euphoria.” 02:20 Introducing “Lux” 22:09 Dopamine detox 23:59 Singing in different languages 29:22 Feminine inspiration 32:20 Asking a lot of her audience 34:40 The writing process & importance of lyrics 39:55 Collaborators on “Lux” 45:15 Past projects 58:00 “Euphoria” & collaborations outside of music 1:03:12 The magic of Björk 1:07:31 'Duende 1:10:35 The Popcast Lightning Round 1:21:58 Snack time!
