ROSALÍA marks one year of LUX with a 1,000-song Spotify playlist and a letter

A year after LUX arrived, ROSALÍA has answered with a gift for listeners: a Spotify playlist of 1,000 songs. She shared it on 7 November 2026, the anniversary of the album's release, at the end of a letter on her Substack titled "Dar a Lux".

For anyone new to her, ROSALÍA is the Barcelona-born singer and producer who rebuilt flamenco inside pop and reggaeton on El Mal Querer (2018) and Motomami (2022), and who then made LUX, an album she has said she approached with cathedrals in mind.

The playlist

It is called "1.000 temas que te dan a Lux", roughly "1,000 songs that give you Lux", and it is public on her own Spotify profile. She describes it as an anniversary present: the music she listened to across the years she spent thinking about, writing and sharing the record. Spotify lists it at exactly 1,000 items.

A thousand tracks is more than two days of continuous listening, so this is less a mixtape than a map of where the record came from.

The letter

The letter is in Spanish and personal in tone. She writes that it is a year since she gave Lux to the world and she still cannot quite believe it, and that the past twelve months have been among the hardest and most meaningful of her life. She also looks back at the album itself, writing that she was thinking about cathedrals while she made it, and that even if she is not sure she built one, trying was enough.

She puts numbers on the year too: concerts on three continents, 17 countries and 57 shows. She links the gesture of the playlist to what she calls the languages of love, in particular acts of service, like sending someone a song or cooking for them.

What it does not say

The letter does not announce new music, a tour or any dates. It is a thank-you and a look back, not a rollout. If that changes, we will update this story.

ROSALÍA has stayed busy beyond her own record. Earlier this autumn she appeared on "Where Is Gone?" on Fontaines D.C.'s Dopamine Chamber, and she is among the artists announced for the Latin Grammys performer list in Las Vegas on 12 November.
