Rosalía
stars on the cover of the first edition of 2021 of the magazine 'Vogue', where she talked about her new album, her ambitions and her origins in music.
The 27-year-old interpreter also confessed if she is in love and what she has been doing during this pandemic year.
The Spanish took advantage of the time of isolation to work on her new album, and assured that she is about to finish it.
"It is the moment, I believe, when everything is flowing more and the songs are ending. Like everything feels different from when the year started," he said.
"Now as I am closing the cycle of these recordings and I am very happy with them," he told the publication.
After the rumors that were unleashed of a possible romance between Rosalía and
Rauw Alejandro
, the Spanish woman denied having a relationship at this time, since she confessed that she is focused one hundred percent on music.
"But imagine, Me How? If I compose, produce, write lyrics, write the upper lines, play instruments. I swear that to do this, you must put all your senses," he said.
The pandemic caught Rosalía in Miami, where she spent around 12 hours in a room that she has converted into a studio, working on her new album.
"I needed to be home, I needed all these hours, just doing this," he said.
The interpreter of 'Relationship', who has taken influences from all over, thinks of her years at the conservatory where she studied music and carried out her thesis project, which was later the result of her first studio album 'El mal quiero' , with which he reached the top.
His experimental vocation is a feature of his first album, which he co-produced with the Spanish producer
El Guincho
.
Although the songs have their roots in flamenco, they also include R&B tracks and some
Auto-Tune
.
Rosalía grew up with
Pili
, her older sister, in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, a town near Barcelona, where there were many people from Andalusia, the Spanish region where gypsy communities popularized flamenco.
Since she was a girl, the Catalan showed interest in this musical genre, however, when she reflected it in her music and became popular, she received some criticism from people who believe that the interpreter has had opportunities that are not offered to artists from the cultures from which she comes. .
This was something that flamenco artists with Roma roots, who are often marginalized in Spain, pointed out earlier in their careers.
In the same way, the fact that Rosalía ventured into reggaeton alongside Latin artists like
J Balvin
caused a similar argument, as many assured that the industry wrongly labeled the singer as a Latin artist, giving her the privilege of being white.
Especially after winning a LatinGrammy award.
Rosalía shared what she thinks about the debate that her music generated around cultural appropriation, and if this has made her think differently.
"Sure you do," he said.
"Of course it is and I realize that it is a necessary conversation that goes much further. I think it is a deep conversation that has to do with privilege and opportunities," he acknowledges.
"The ideal and fair thing would be for the possibilities and the media focus to be equitable for everyone," he said.
Finally, Rosalía explained her ambitions for the future, because since she knew that her destiny was music, regardless of whether she would have to sing alone in bars in Barcelona or fill stadiums, she knows she wants to dedicate herself to this for the rest of her days.
"I hope I am 70 years old and have the energy and desire to go to the studio, have my coffee and start writing my songs," he told the publication.
"I hope to keep that feeling, that's what I want, that's the ambition I have," he concluded.
