Rosalía only began releasing music last year, but the world is listening. She’s recently started making music with Venezuelan singer-producer Arca. Just recently, Pharrell invited her to record with him in Los Angeles, while Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodóvar has cast her in his next film Dolor y Gloria, alongside Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas. But if the length of the queue outside her first UK show is anything to go by, she’s doing something right. Yet Rosalía does not fit into the typical mould of pop stardom, and releasing a flamenco-inspired record on a major international label is no easy feat. Her latest album, El Mal Querer, released today on Universal, shows Rosalía as a full-blown showman: the high-budget music video for single “Malamente”, which has amassed over 23 million views on YouTube (nearly half the population of Spain), has the polished glamour and slick choreography of a Beyoncé video. The Barcelona-based musician is already a household name in her native Catalonia, a flamenco revolutionary who is revamping the age-old tradition for the younger generation. Flanked by a flock of backing dancers, the 25-year-old flamenco singer, clapping her hands like castanets, has all the passion and posture of a traditional Andalusian artist, wearing an all-red and tasselled outfit that follows the movements of her arms. Quote:Roger that.It’s a Wednesday night at London’s Village Underground, and Rosalía is waving a long, freshly diamanted finger at the crowd. Of course being the professional that he is he throws a fit and starts destroying stage equipment and has to be escorted off stage, as opposed to flux pavilion who was on another stage half way thru bass cannon when the power was cut who shook a few fans gands thanked everyone for comming andhappily took off. Just seems like noone gives a fuck about professionalism.Lol dropped the phone lets try againRecently we had festival where kid cudi headlined one of the stages, he was told he had a certin time set and regardless he HAD to be done by 11pm no if ands or buts, of course he shows up like 30 minuteslate to his set takes another 10 minutes on ashit soundcheck does like 4 songs that sound like shit and at 11pm midsong the promoters cut the power as was explained to him. They are Late for performances, horrible quality show mixes, handing you their mixshow as they are walking on stage to perform.etc. It amazed me, when i started opening for mainstream artists, how much they DONT have their shit together (mainly hip hop artists).
