Rolling Stone unveils its 100 best albums of 2025, highlighting artists like Lady Gaga and Rosalía across diverse genres.
Rosalía Vila Tobella, professionally known as Rosalía, is a Spanish singer-songwriter, producer, dancer, and actress born on September 25, 1992, in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, Barcelona, Spain. She is internationally acclaimed for her innovative fusion of traditional flamenco with contemporary pop, hip-hop, and urbano music styles, creating a distinctive sound that has significantly influenced modern Latin music[1][3][4]. Rosalía's debut album, *Los Ángeles* (2017), was an experimental flamenco project that garnered critical attention. Her major breakthrough came with her second album, *El Mal Querer* (2018), which won the Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year twice (2019 and 2022) and was listed in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album's single "Malamente" became a defining song of the decade and gained widespread popularity, with its music video reaching over a billion views on YouTube[1][2][3]. This album propelled Rosalía into global stardom and earned her the distinction of being the first Spanish-singing artist nominated for Best New Artist at the mainstream Grammy Awards[2][3]. Her third studio album, *Motomami* (2022), departed from her flamenco roots, incorporating more experimental reggaeton and urbano influences. It received critical acclaim and was the best-reviewed album of the year on Metacritic, featuring hit singles such as "La Fama" and "Saoko"[3]. Rosalía has accumulated numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award, eleven Latin Grammy Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, and an MTV Europe Music Award. She holds the record for the most number-one singles by a local artist in Spain, with eleven chart-toppers[2][3]. Beyond music, Rosalía has ventured into acting, making her debut in Pedro Almodóvar’s film *Pain and Glory* (2019). Her global influence continues, with extensive touring and sustained streaming success. In November 2025, she released her latest album, *Lux*, further cementing her ongoing relevance in the music industry[1].
