Zane Lowe· Host0:00

The Zane Lowe Interview Series So much to talk to you about, about this album. Thank you for making this.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:05

Yeah.

Zane Lowe· Host0:05

I don't even know if it's an album. [laughs] [laughs] You know what I mean?

ROSALÍA· Guest0:09

That's the best.

Zane Lowe· Host0:09

In the sense that it's- That's the best, the compliment that somebody could say, I think [laughs]. It's almost like sort of a framework for this- Mm ... this music that you've made. It's so much you put in there. But we're in Madrid, and, um, you're causing chaos, and you've launched your album here. [laughs] And you're running around, getting fined- [laughs] ... setting up politicians and doing what you should be doing.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:28

Oh my goodness.

Zane Lowe· Host0:29

Um, but it looked like you had a lot of fun.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:31

I just, I just wanted to go, um, see the los carteles, go see the lights, [laughs] even go outside. And yeah, but it's a fun moment. It's a, it's a beautiful moment, you know, when, okay, now the, the album is finished finally, and now it's about sharing it.

Zane Lowe· Host0:46

Mm.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:46

It can be discouraging sometimes how long it takes.

Zane Lowe· Host0:49

Mm.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:49

But I think it's teaching me patience.

Zane Lowe· Host0:51

Mm-hmm.

ROSALÍA· Guest0:51

Each project is teaching me more patience.

Zane Lowe· Host0:54

[laughs] Well, you must have had so much patience to just get through this process of making this album, because- Mm-hmm ... there's so much in it.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:00

Yes.

Zane Lowe· Host1:01

I, I loved what you said about Leonard Cohen and the idea of finishing a record, and the three stages.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:05

Mm.

Zane Lowe· Host1:06

And that area where it can just, you can just feel very lost in it- Yeah ... 'cause it's no longer yours.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:10

Yes.

Zane Lowe· Host1:10

It takes on a life of its own. There must have been many moments during the making of this where that, it felt that way.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:15

Oof. Yes, because it's been three years.

Zane Lowe· Host1:17

Mm.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:18

So all the things that can happen in three years. So many.

Zane Lowe· Host1:21

Yeah.

ROSALÍA· Guest1:21

But also, I love that, uh, Leonard is a big inspiration, and I love that he's used to say, which I would repeat
