Following wide global media picks already establishing it as “One of the Most Anticipated Albums of 2022,” Grammy and eight-time Latin Grammy winner Rosalía released her eagerly awaited new album MOTOMAMI. After an intensive three-year creative process filled with incredible attention to artistic detail, Rosalía delivers an expansive, out of the box album that looks to erase previous conventual lines defining different cultures, genres, gender roles, and more – providing a profoundly personal modern musical self-portrait of a strong, innovative, and proudly feminine young woman taking us on a seductive and multifaceted musical journey.
“In these last three years, I’ve wanted to focus my energy on giving this album a sense of risk and excitement. Everything on this record was made from scratch. Conceptually and lyrically, it’s the most personal and confessional album that I’ve made so far. I’ve always considered myself a storyteller, and MOTOMAMI is the most personal story I’ve told. In my head, MOTOMAMI makes sense as a self-portrait of a feminine figure building herself, and there’s a duality. The record is structured in binaries, two types of contrasting energy. Moto means “strong” and relates to “aggression,” while Mami refers to “fragility.” There’s also a sense of humor and irony.”
Executive produced by Rosalía, MOTOMAMI features 16 songs, including the recently released and widely praised tracks “Hentai,” “Chicken Teriyaki,” “Saoko,” and “La Fama” featuring The Weeknd. These advance tracks from the album have already attracted a solid global audience; as “La Fama” debuted #1 on the Spain singles charts, spent three weeks at #1, and peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, while the official music video now has over 86M views and peaked #1 on YouTube in 13 countries including Spain, Mexico & Argentina. “Saoko” debuted at #40 on the Global Spotify Chart and #2 on the Spain Spotify Chart—marking the track the biggest solo debut by a Spanish artist in global Spotify chart history.
Having labored over the album for over three years, Rosalía has been in celebration mode with several unique activations and appearances. Additionally, leading up to the release, she made her solo late-night television debut performance on Saturday Night Live on the March 12th broadcast. Watch her performance of “Chicken Teriyaki” and “La Fama.” Rosalía is the first woman to perform both songs in Spanish in the NBC sketch comedy series’ 47-season history. When combined with her 2021 duet appearance with Bad Bunny, she has now performed more songs in Spanish on “Saturday Night Live” than any other artist. Before her “Saturday Night Live” appearance, Rosalía stopped by” The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to chat about all things MOTOMAMI, Harry Styles texting her old phone number, and a behind-the-scenes look at recording her music.
