Rosalía Releases Orchestral 'Berghain' Featuring Björk and Yves Tumor to Launch 'LUX' Era

City officials in Madrid are reviewing her surprise Callao launch following the song’s viral debut.

Overview

  • The trilingual track is presented as the second movement of LUX and was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra under Daníel Bjarnason.
  • The official video, produced by CANADA and directed by Nicolás Méndez, was filmed in Warsaw and leans into a cinematic, symbolic aesthetic.
  • Lyrics blend Spanish, German and English with religious motifs and explicit lines that play into a club-as-church metaphor referencing Berlin’s Berghain.
  • The campaign included a shared score on Substack, street projections and a Times Square reveal that drove widespread online reactions.
  • The full album LUX is scheduled for Nov. 7, with a live presentation planned at the Los40 Music Awards in Santander the same day.
