ROSALÍA explains the meaning behind the choice of the cover for her new album “LUX”.
“I think that image, for me, was the one that best represented the project. I believe it reflects that spiritual quest and that sense of commitment. The habit, that piece that nuns wear on their heads, represents a commitment to a chosen cause, something one has dedicated their life to.

It doesn’t come from provocation, but from the utmost respect and admiration toward them.
So many women have been an inspiration for this project, as I was saying, they were saints, many of them nuns who were also artists, women who lived in a very unconventional way.
Perhaps at that time Hildegard von Bingen was a polymath nun, if I’m not mistaken, and an incredible one. She had visions and created in a way that, even today, I think still makes so much sense and continues to be deeply inspiring.”

But at the same time, he’s played as somebody dorky and ridiculous. When he’s in a nightclub and he’s trying to speak to somebody about hip hop—it’s so embarrassing when he’s trying to be cool.”
