Rosalía on the inspiration for Lux: Fifteen of the 18 songs on the album were inspired by the stories of female saints and mystics. During her year of writing, Rosalía studied hagiographies. She tells VOGUE, “So many of these saints were nuns, and I found it so amazing to learn about their lives, learn about how they would express themselves. They would have an experience of God, and they would explain it with words. Just speaking. It was another way of knowledge, no? Another way of understanding lo divino. And I feel like nowadays a lot of people reference celebrities, and celebrities reference celebrities. I prefer to reference saints.”

On her new rule for the album: Going into Lux, Rosalía made a new rule: No loops. She wanted to spend less time in front of a computer, to use her instrument more, to really sing. “I wanted it to be más físico, Music in its physical state. That can be instruments, objects. It can be human. It can be the air, the metal, the wood. And the orchestra, in a way, I feel it’s maybe the most monumental version of that. Of music in its physical form,” she tells VOGUE.
