Rosalía Vila Tobella (Sant Esteve Sesrovires, 25 de setembro de 1992), conhecida mononimamente como Rosalía, é uma cantora, compositora e produtora musical espanhola. Depois de descobrir a música folclórica espanhola ainda jovem, Rosalía frequentou o Taller de Músics e formou-se na Catalonia College of Music com honras em virtude de seu álbum colaborativo com Raül Refree, Los Ángeles (2017) e o projeto de bacharelado El Mal Querer (2018), que é coproduzido por El Guincho e mistura interpretações modernas do flamenco com música pop e urbana. Gerando singles como "Malamente", o álbum chamou a atenção do público espanhol em geral, e foi lançado com aclamação da crítica universal. Vencedora do Grammy Latino de Álbum do Ano e listado nos 500 Maiores Álbuns de Todos os Tempos da Rolling Stone, El Mal Querer iniciou a ascensão de Rosalía no cenário musical internacional.
O seu primeiro single de sucesso internacional foi sua colaboração em 2019 com J Balvin, "Con Altura", uma faixa de reggaeton que marcou a jornada de Rosalía para a música urbana. Vendendo mais de sete milhões de cópias, foi nomeada uma das melhores músicas do ano pela Billboard e Pitchfork, Melhor Canção Urbana pela Academia Latina da Gravação, e gerou a sua letra de assinatura e apelido "La Rosalía". Mais tarde, colaborou com outros músicos como Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Arca e Travis Scott, alcançando vários elogios e quebrando vários recordes. O seu terceiro álbum de estúdio, Motomami, com os singles "La Fama" e "Saoko", foi lançado em março de 2022 e tornou-se o álbum mais bem avaliado e discutido do ano no Metacritic.
Ao longo da sua carreira, Rosalía acumulou nove singles número um no seu país. Também ganhou dois Grammy Award, oito Latin Grammy Awards(incluindo duas vitórias de Álbum do Ano), quatro MTV Video Music Awards, um MTV Europe Music Award, três UK Music Video Awards e dois prémios Ruido, entre outros. Em 2019, a Billboard deu-lhe o Rising Star Award por "mudar o som da música mainstream de hoje com seu novo pop influenciado pelo flamenco", e tornou-se a primeira cantora espanhola da história a ser indicada como Melhor Artista Revelação nos Grammys.

Although Gabriel continued to use the pioneering Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer, songs from these sessions were less experimental than his previous material. Nevertheless, Gabriel drew on various musical influences, fusing pop, soul, and art rock with elements of traditional world music, particularly African and Brazilian styles. It is Gabriel's first non-eponymous album, So representing an "anti-title" that resulted from label pressure to "properly" market his music. Gabriel toured So on the This Way Up tour (1986–1987), with some songs performed at human rights and charity concerts during this period.
Often considered his best and most accessible album, So was an immediate commercial success and transformed Gabriel from a cult artist into a mainstream star, becoming his best-selling solo release. It has been certified fivefold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. The album's lead single, "Sledgehammer", was promoted with an innovative animated music video and achieved particular success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and subsequently winning a record of nine MTV Video Music Awards. It was followed by four further singles, "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Kate Bush), "Big Time", "In Your Eyes", and "Red Rain".
The album received positive reviews from most critics, who praised its songwriting, melodies and fusion of genres, although some retrospective reviews have criticised its overt commercialism and 1980s production sounds. So was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1987 but lost to Paul Simon's Graceland. It has appeared in lists of the best albums of the 1980s, and Rolling Stone included the album in their 2003 and 2020 editions of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2000 it was voted number 82 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. So was remastered in 2002, partially re-recorded for Gabriel's 2011 orchestral project New Blood and issued as a box set in 2012.
