    I was so surprised when listening to this album even when I already knew it would be different! Still haven’t gotten tired of the songs, they are unique. Timeless!

    For more than 50 years, I have listened to music, from almost every genre and from many places on earth. I have always been at the forefront of new music and new artists, and love being challenged on my perception of music. I know Rosalia and love a lot of her music, her whole being, the deeply rooted cultural expression, her unique voice and the desire to "play" with her art.

I know Rosalia and love a lot of her music, her whole being, the deeply rooted cultural expression, her unique voice and the desire to "play" with her art. With this album, she hits right into the core of the art of exciting and wondering at almost every parameter in music. Ingenious and unique without comparison some of the best I have heard in decades.… Expand

    94? Really? Well, this marks the end of me using metacritic as reference.
    I wonder what other **** are we eating because critics don't understand a thing of what they are earing (not listening. There is nothing to listen in there)

    Un disco explícitamente generacional que analiza en exhaustividad, reafirma, plasma y encapsula una forma de ser frente a la realidad y el futuro cercano.
    Una de las mejores piezas musicales de la década.

    I was really excited about Rosalía releasing an album and I am really surprised, in the best way possible. That’s a masterpiece period.

    I don't understand how professional critics can praise an album where they don't understand what is being sung. The musical evolution is not only the rhythms but also the clear vocalization of what is being sung, in order to find meaning in the songs.

    Motomami de Rosalia is not quite perfect as they say but it manages to be a good experimental album

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La musica y la producción están bastante bien, ojalá pudiese decir lo mismo de la letra, las canciones realmente son difíciles de entender incluso hablando español, además de que esta plagada de muchísimos sin sentido, lo cual, hace que no te puedas tomar enserio todo en conjunto y lo vuelve algo tedioso y molesto, pero bueno, para pasar el rato supongo que a alguien debe gustarle… Expand

    Gran obra de la artista española, trae un aire fresco al género urbano sin dejar de lado el arte y sus raices culturales. Un álbum muy experimental y emocional que se agradece en una época donde todo lo popular tiene la misma fórmula. Además, tiene el plus de también formar parte de la producción y composición, haciéndola una artista más completa y no solo una intérprete.

    Not generally a fan of this type of music but it was pretty great.

    Needed a lot less 'The Weeknd' though, can't stand his talentless ass.

    Not bad but not that good. The fuss is defo not good tho. Better things out there sans doubt. Don't let they sell this to you as revolutionary when clearly is not, these sounds have been out for ages, check Arca, check even MIA. When it comes to the tracks, 3 good of 18.

    MOTOMAMI is experimental in a way that does not sacrifice function over form. These songs have a pop purpose: they are fragmented, but they are laid in catchy hooks and enthralling beats. MOTOMAMI doesn’t fail to entertain.

    In taking bits and fragments from both her previous work and that of her contemporaries, Rosalía has fashioned an album rife with the contradictory sounds, lyrical themes, and artistic impulses of the past and present.

    With a little help from an impressive array of collaborators and producers that include heavyweights like Pharrell Williams, El Guincho and Frank Dukes, Rosalía takes clear and complete control of her voice by getting her ideas across without being too caught up in them.
