Rosalía Surprise-Releases ‘La Perla’ Video With Symbolic Fencing, Dogs and Ice

Critics interpret the stark imagery as a personal reckoning after her split from Rauw Alejandro.

Overview

  • The clip arrived Monday as an unannounced release for a standout track from Lux.
  • The video, directed by Stillz with creative direction by Pili Vila Tobella and produced by We Own The City, centers Rosalía in a series of stylized vignettes.
  • Striking motifs include fencing gear and a foil, two dueling dogs, a chastity belt, and scenes on an ice rink in hockey pads.
  • Coverage links the lyrics and visuals to her recent breakup, citing lines that call out a “rompecorazones nacional” and “terrorista emocional.”
  • 'La Perla’ is reported as Lux’s most-streamed song on Spotify with 100 million-plus plays, following an earlier Tonight Show performance in a bridal-like white dress holding a pearl.
