Rosalíais here for the girls.
In acover story interview withRolling Stone, the “Con Altura” singer discussed her highly anticipated albumMotomami, set for release in 2022. A prominent topic in Rosalía’s music in the past has been feminism — and the singer opened up about her intention, in this new album, to keep that theme alive.
“I haven’t always found female figures who write in a rawer way, particularly in music or Spanish folk music. It’s easier to find those figures in English music rather than Spanish music,” she said.

She then went on to say that these “issues” are a “reflection of society.”
“I also believe it’s not only a reggaeton issue. It’s a reflection of society. If this is happening in music, it’s because there’s something happening at a social level, in the real world,” Rosalía admitted.
She continued, “So, we better ask ourselves what is going on and what we still have to do in that regard.”
Motomamifollows Rosalía’s 2018 Grammy-winning album titledEl Mal Querer. Since then, the singer said she “wanted to focus my energy on giving this [new] album a sense of risk and excitement overall.”
