The album goes through all the steps of a toxic relationship: 1. The omen of something bad about to happen 2. The wedding and the happy times where "she will be with me until dead tear us apart" 3. The first hints of jealousy from his side 4. The abuse: that's why the sounds of ambulance and overall strong sounds 5. The sadness and pain of feeling trapped in that relationship 6. A spoiler of how is she going to scape from it (thanks to "two angels"), voiced by actress Rossy de Palma. 7. the praying, where the protagonist "cries a river" 8. the passion, where it is implied that she meets a new secret lover 9. the lullaby, where she has a miscarriage and sings out of sadness (the first angel) 10. the scape, where the sounds of metal, splashes and the "river of blood" in the lyrics imply the abuser is killed, and probably the lover too (the second angel) 11. the reproach from the protagonist to her abuser about his behaviour.

so the whole album’s based on a medieval novel called “flamenca”, and that’s why the songs are in chapters. it follows the main character who is a woman that gets caught in an abusive relationship, and rosalia sings from her perspective for almost all the songs. we go from hinting at the abuse at the beginning to actual violence exploding (de aqui no sales has police sirens for a reason), and over the course of the album, the main character also gets pregnant and then kills her abusive husband in maldicion, and it ends with her declaring in the last song that no man would ever have power over her like that again. that’s a super short rundown, but i highly recommend looking at translations of the lyrics to get the whole story. the music videos are good too, especially the one for de aqui no sales imo. also in bagdad, rosalia did straight up use the melody of “cry me a river” by justin timberlake with his permission. if i remember correctly, he enjoyed how it sounded so much he happily let her use it. also RIP your chair.

FINALLYYYYYYYY!!! I'm very glad you enjoyed Pienso En Tu Mirá and De Aquí No Sales, your reactions are sights for sore eyes

“Why is it in chapters? This is an album not a book” it’s actually based on a book/novel LMAO

Now, watch her videos of El mal querer.

She actually put De Aqui No Sales and Bulerias together for her Motomami Tour and it goes so fucking hard. She's coming to America, you should check her out live it's insane.

This is one of her best projects ❤️❤️❤️ I still come back to this album at least once a week lol This album is about a horrible abusive relationship. Feeling trapped with a toxic partner~

Buena reacción me encantó es muy bueno el disco entero desde Tenerife

Buena reacción me encantó un abrazo desde Tenerife

this is exactly me when I listen to rosalía also I love your vids lol

You need to see her videos and lives performances!! Te queda mucho por descubrir. 😍

“This is her thesis!” It was, in fact, her college thesis

fun fact: Bulerias (the song you liked on Motomami) and De Aqui No Sales (the engine revving song you compared to bulerias) have a remix where the songs are combined and it is performed at her concerts. Its a really cool remix and you can find it on youtube!

You need to know the whole concept behind it! also the music videos are CRAZY!!! and full of symbolism

1k already 🥺❤❤

You have no idea about Spanish language but you felt everything right. Well done

U have to see the videos, almost each track has a videoclip. They are fantastic, so metaphorical and very difificult to inderstand even for an spanish person like me, but very enjoyable. Nice reaction.

Between El Mal Querer and Motomami albums she released 20 singles and featurings. :P Please go to Rosalía channel and react to them lol

Should’ve tried it with the words too. A masterpiece.

this guy is handsome!

I laughed so much, thank you
