An album about female saints and martyrs, sung in 13 languages and featuring both Björk and the London Symphony Orchestra doesn’t sound like the making of a 2025 club banger, but Rosalía is no ordinary artist. Her fourth studio album, Lux, released in November and quickly became a late contender for everyone’s album of the year. The Catalonian singer has just announced a global tour off the back of it, playing 42 arenas across 17 countries, including one date at the O2 in London.
Lux is an exploration of her Catholic faith and her obsession with the religion’s female avatars, and Rosalía has dyed a blonde halo into her dark hair to mark its release. “I pray every night before I fall asleep,” she told the Guardian. “It’s a very personal relationship with God.”
