Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, safe to say in the game of affecting the masses in the music industry, not too many in the year of 2025 had more success than the one and only Rosalia. So looking at her overall success, safe to say, they're diving into her track La Perla, which is currently the 80-second most played track in the world out of his debut. But that's not the most, that's not the most intriguing factor. thing I was going to get at is that her album Lux is currently it currently debuted as a fourth most played album in the world so now we look at her third studio album that was released November 7th safe to say there's a lot of different things that did not know about Rosalia that obviously y'all who are also fans or either the podcast or both as far as Rosalia um hopefully y'all learned something that y'all didn't because guess what
Starting point is 00:01:06 I had no idea that Rosalia is currently filming scenes for the HBO's show Euphoria. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, they're still putting out of season three. So interestingly enough, Rosalia is a part of that. And of course, she also, I know it's a side of crazy transition, but from a musical aspect, I just want you all to know, she sings in 13 different languages. No, not in her career. on one album that I just talked about as far as Lux,
Starting point is 00:01:39 which is insanity. Shout out to Rosalia for versatility. Because at the end of the day, 13 languages is very impressive. So to be singing in 13 different languages on the album because, of course, when it comes to song structure, sonically, you have to find different words that fits in certain places as far as the chorus and the bridge.
Starting point is 00:02:04 So being able to talk in 13 languages is already a feat, but musically, to put it in lamest terms, you have to use the vocabulary of very differently overbeat than you would in real life. Hopefully it makes sense. So as far as singing in 13 different languages, safe to say, Rosalie is one of the most versatile artists I've ever deep dived into. So that, along with the euphoria appearance in season three, had me thinking, has my favorite artist ever shouted her out? Is it okay? I got my dope on me? And safe to say, because of Drake's ways, he has. And pun intended, as his track evil ways.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Literally, Drake said, quote, next time I get in Rosalia face, I hope she tell her people that we need some space. You guys. See, that's the problem. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you all to know. Not only was that an interesting shot at Rosalia, but also when it comes to them being front row at Nike,
Starting point is 00:03:06 2020 fashion week show that it didn't stop there because of course Drake is the executive producer of HBO's euphoria so putting in the puzzle pieces together safe to say maybe Drake had a hand or two and Rosalia getting this specific role even though she's immensely talented it's just very interesting how she's a part of season three of euphoria it's almost like somebody saw the talent up close so that means said the main thing i was wanted to get to was rosalia speaking about her time on euphoria Yes, of course, we have snippets from the one and only Rosalia in her talking about her experience as far as with the Euphoria cast. Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But here is Rosalia right now.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Alexa, she's a very close friend of mine and she was very supporting. And the way she approaches it, it's with so much so effortlessly. But that is something very beautiful to see and very inspiring. And then who on the cast has the best taste in music? Who on the cast has the best taste of music? Definitely me. No, I mean, as a immensely successful musician, you know what I'm saying? I would expect nothing less.
Starting point is 00:04:20 You know, just think to yourself, like, hold him now. I mean, obviously, me, what type of interview? No, I'll explain. So, you know, she said it pretty humbly, but, you know, she'd be in dead serious. Anyways. Second to you. No, no, no. Sendaya, because Sendaya recommended,
Starting point is 00:04:38 Malamente, maybe to the director, no? To some. Zendaya. Yeah, Zendaya. Do you two talk about music ever, or are you so locked into what you're filming? I admire her so much. I really didn't want to, like, distract her at all.
Starting point is 00:04:52 So I wouldn't like talk to her too much, because I didn't want to distract her. When she would be like, like, she would talk, then I would be like, we would start talking, and then she would explain. she would explain that she knew about my music. And that made me very happy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:09 That made me very, very happy. So as far as Zendaya knowing Ball, safe to say, everybody could have assumed that, but it's great to see and hear, Rosalia also gives Zendaya her kudos. As far as her being, you know, very much a tastemaker in the music industry. So with Rosalia,
Starting point is 00:05:25 safe to say that she's had a phenomenal year in 2025. And safe to say with her album Lux, I think when it comes to the most popular, objectively speaking, is La Perlough. But of course, for her fans, I wonder what they specifically enjoy as when you look at her impact, post the Phelan, the Jimmy Fallon appearance, she went number one in Spain singles chart. She was number 12 on global Spotify, and of course she had 50 million plus streams in
Starting point is 00:05:53 week one. So looking at the landscape, I think the only thing the question is the longevity of the impact of her album Lux because out the gate is one of the things I want to let y'all know as far as numbers usually it's the highest and then it starts to trickle off a little bit so she debuted at number four as far as the most popular album in the world which is a phenomenal accomplishment but sticking to the top five is very difficult and we've seen artists who debut high such as a king cars and fall completely off of the charts now I'm not saying Rosalia would do that but I just had to bring it up and make it fair as far as my coverage of
Starting point is 00:06:34 Rosalia because she did just debut with 47,000 first week. So with that being said, some other things as far as Rosalia fans out there just so that she will be upcoming in the Euphoria Season 3. And with that being said, I think she also, yeah, she attended the Met Gala in May. So she's like really into the fashion world, it seems like. And in the recent, uh, in her view, she basically talks about creating her next project and drawing inspirations and books from books and artists like Kate Bush. So for the hardcore Rosalia fans out there, that should give you a little insight onto where she's probably going to go next with her next album. So with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias.
Starting point is 00:07:21 What do you think about Rosalia in a grand scheme of things as far as her success? and are you excited to see her in Ephoria Season 3 or are you more excited for her next album?
