This Is Why You Should Give Rosalía A Listen

Rosalía Vila Tobella, or better known as just simply Rosalía, is the most recent Barcelona native who is putting a modern twist to flamenco music.

Rosalía's most recent album 'El mal querer' (The Bad Loving) is composed of eleven songs that are totally worth listening to. Each song is named, but are also in the form of chapters. For example, the first song in the album is Malamente (Cap.1 Augurio) and the rest of the songs are in the same format.

Each song tells a story and the following track is a continuation of that story. I think that's a pretty genius move, tbh.

Now you don't have to necessarily speak Spanish in order to enjoy Rosalía's songs, I think the beat of her songs does her justice. Better yet, Rosalía also features in a song by James Blake called "Barefoot in the Park." It is a beautiful song and I'll leave you to listen to it.

Rosalía recently released a song with J Balvin and El Guincho called "Con Altura." You better let this song flow and you'll be dancing any minute.

Given this, I think Rosalía is a dynamic artist because she is able to bring her own style into other artists' songs that are completely not-her-style. My favorite song out of her album is "Bagdad" which tells about a gypsy kind of girl who dances for Bagdad, which is a known striptease club in Barcelona. The melody is borrowed from Justin Timberlake's "Cry me a River."

Recently, Rosalía performed at Coachella along with J Balvin. She is currently doing an American tour and I wish I could see her, but the tickets sold out. Sigh.

Aside from Rosalía being a marvelous, unique singer, I think that she is a beautiful and humble artist who deserves more recognition. In a world where many artists attempt to be like the others, I think Rosalía is sparking up a revolution in the music industry.

That being said, it's time to update your Spotify and Pandora playlists and give Rosalía a listen!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
