"Berghain is the lead single from Catalan pop star Rosalia's fourth album, Lux, a monumental orchestral feat that has confounded critics and fans alike. It features the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), a Catalan choir, Bjork offering divine intervention and the alternative-rock star Yves Tumor reprising Mike Tyson's 2002 tirade at opponent Lennox Lewis: I'll fuck you 'til you love me."
"Since her breakout album El Mal Querer in 2018, the 33-year-old musician and producer born Rosalia Vila Tobella has made her name on visionary avant garde mutations of the flamenco she studied at a prestigious music school. She has also attracted praise and controversy for exploring Caribbean and Latin sounds on her 2022 album Motomami. Her new record centres her classical training: the LSO is featured throughout directed by Daniel Bjarnason alongside fado and flamenco singers."
Rosalía's single Berghain blends gothic and baroque orchestration with Vivaldi-style strings and operatic singing in German and Spanish. The track features the London Symphony Orchestra, a Catalan choir, Bjork guest vocals, and Yves Tumor quoting Mike Tyson. Rosalía rose to prominence after El Mal Querer (2018) by reworking flamenco and explored Caribbean and Latin sounds on Motomami (2022). Lux centers her classical training, with the LSO directed by Daniel Bjarnason and contributions from fado and flamenco singers. Pop audiences have embraced the dramatic single while classical fans are more divided.
