    Wonderful album, i’ve been a rosalia fan for a lot of time and watching a new reborn in her music, knowing that she was risking a lot made me feel more proud of her.

    To start; the Album couldn’t start nor end any better. Saoko is a strong beginning showing how this isn’t EMQ. Disappointed I was at first, it subverted all expectations I had. Saoko shows two polar styles come together in a wonder collage - stylistic jazz to hard reggaetón. Granted I wish the lyrics had more transformative meaning, it’s a great first impression.

    Sakura on the other hand    To start; the Album couldn’t start nor end any better. Saoko is a strong beginning showing how this isn’t EMQ. Disappointed I was at first, it subverted all expectations I had. Saoko shows two polar styles come together in a wonder collage - stylistic jazz to hard reggaetón. Granted I wish the lyrics had more transformative meaning, it’s a great first impression.

    Sakura on the other hand ends a polar opposite way singing away to her audience, ready for the next journey in her life. It’s a real raw performance with raw feelings most of us would understand - extreme fame.

    As Saoko has 2 - 3 mixed styles, it goes on for the next 7 songs all in a different conceptual mix on a genre. Dembow, Bulerias, Bachata, Etc. Then comes the MOTOMAMI interlude, introducing the second act of 4 split songs which have a Moto and then a Mami. This duality ends at the next interlude of ABCDEFG. I really enjoy that this album has only 2 features of different artists (3 if you consider James Blake). The two artists are really opposite - The Weekend is an artist at the top of his game, he is peaking whereas Tokischa is very low on this pole. She is a regional hit just as Rosalia started and she is obviously trying to promote her such as an apprentice. A duality of music and fame this really shows the artistic genius of Rosalia and her transformative duality that hasn’t been done before at this caliber. I hope to see her grow farther than she’s ever dreamed, that is if she wants this fame. If you read this - Rosalia, I am just another stranger but I would love to extend my pride for you. This is another great step for music from EMQ to MOTOMAMI. Can’t wait to see what comes next.    … Expand

    a timeless album, The way in which Rosalía conveys the feelings and concept of the album to us through the production and lyrics is unmatched.

    Rosália é extremamente corajosa, por ent tão pouco tempo de carreira, arriscar a fazer um trabalho que no começo, se parecia com algo genérico, mas nos impressionar trazendo força alternativa do começo ao fim.

    Rosalía siendo honesta siempre con su música y lo que ama hacer, dándonos nuevos sonidos y no más de lo mismo, ella apostó por arriesgar todo y es lo que la hace un verdadero artista, este álbum es una montaña rusa, que gran experiencia, que buena producción de sonidos, entre más lo escucho y descubro metáforas en su álbum más me gusta, el mejor álbum que he escuchado, sin duda alguna.Rosalía siendo honesta siempre con su música y lo que ama hacer, dándonos nuevos sonidos y no más de lo mismo, ella apostó por arriesgar todo y es lo que la hace un verdadero artista, este álbum es una montaña rusa, que gran experiencia, que buena producción de sonidos, entre más lo escucho y descubro metáforas en su álbum más me gusta, el mejor álbum que he escuchado, sin duda alguna.

    It contains everything that makes Rosalía's music great and turns the dial to 11. On my first listen the album not only kept my attention the whole way through, but it kept me at the edge of my seat, every time i thought I knew what was coming, Motomami threw a curve ball at the listener.

The most experimental album from a *MAINSTREAM* artist since Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"/"ARTPOP" era and one of the best albums of this year so far if not the best.

    This album overflows creativity in its maximum conception of freedom and risk. A commitment to a musical world open to new structures, combinations and sounds. Rosalía is undoubtedly an exponent to follow.

    This is the most unique, full-of-identity, and uplifting album I've ever listened to in I-don't-know-how-many years! La Rosalía showed how trully a musician she is, and raised the level of the music industry for how albums should sound as a body of work. From the ballads like "HENTAI" and the most speedy one "BIZCOCHITO", she equally mastered the production, vocals, and visuals.

    Just WOW... She couldn't be more brave to do this album. Finally something that feels fresh in the industry and sounds different.
    It is disruptive, it is chaotic, but exciting and as she said, it definitely describes the roller coaster she lived when being on tour and then in lock down. It really makes you feel that up and down when you listen to the whole thing.

    El Mal Querer fans were fans of an album, but the artist is Rosalia, and she is a person that evolves, she could have repeated the same recipe and play safe, but she took the risk and offered us again an amazing piece but completely different.
    It opens your mind musically, destroys prejudice and of course blows your mind away with that voice.
    There is space for sense of humor, nostalgic moments, experimental moments, but also chill moments in her most structured songs.
    I hope it gets the recognition she deserves, she is way ahead of time.    … Expand

It is an incredible rollercoaster bouncing from one song to another and not knowing what to expect next. The transition from CUUUUuuuuuute to COMO UN G is absolute incredible going from a cyberpunk high-paced track to this piano ballad. Hands down my favorite album of the year so far.… Expand

    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.
