[Pat85]

Rosalía is celebrating the first anniversary of her album Lux. NME reports that the Spanish singer marked the occasion with a Substack post called Dar A Lux, writing that she was thinking about cathedrals when making the record

She shared a Spotify playlist of 1,000 songs she listened to while making and touring the album. Artists include Patti Smith, The Cure, Queen, Kate Bush, Nina Simone and Caetano Veloso

A limited edition box set includes etched vinyl, an unreleased gold version of the artwork, a lyric booklet, a handkerchief and an embossed heart in a blue linen box. It costs £125 from her UK store

The Lux tour ran to 57 shows in 17 countries. She performs at the Latin Grammys on 12 November, where she has seven nominations

A 1,000 song playlist is a fascinating window into an artist's influences, and the range from Kate Bush to Caetano Veloso shows how broad her taste is. The box set is clearly aimed at devoted collectors. Seven Latin Grammy nominations show how well Lux has been received

Have you listened to Lux? And would you work your way through a 1,000 song playlist?
