Rosalía’s new song is just around the corner and it isn’t a surprise because the artist herself has been in charge in recent weeks of leaving little clues about her new composition. And now we finally know all the details of ‘Tuya’!
The new musical proposal of the Catalan will be released at 6 pm E.T. on June 8. The rest of the schedules worldwide have been published by the interpreter herself in her official social media proffiles. But the best of all is that she’ll be presenting her single in Los40 studios next Monday June 12!
There she has also revealed some details of this awaited song:
«A few weeks ago I went back to Tokyo to shoot the video for TUYA and because I love this city💛TUYA IS RELEASED THIS THURSDAY 8th at 00:00 SPAIN, 3:00 pm LA, 4pm MEXICO and 6pm NY ME MUEROOO»Rosalía on Instagram
And we’re dying to hear it too. For now we are looking at the cover image of Rosalía’s ‘Tuya’ with a magnifying glass (almost microscope). Lying on a round bed in a beautiful short yellow dress under a mustard sweater and gold high socks.
After the song was available for a few minutes due to a (supposed) oversight of ‘la Rosalía’, now we have just a few hours to wait for it to be released officially and with the whole package: song and music clip.
Rosalia’s Love for Japan
The images published by the artist are an open love letter to the city of Tokyo where she has recorded the video clip and that we could also see in ‘BESO’, one of the three collaborations she created with Rauw Alejandro. Animated films, typical food, social customs, respect for the privacy of its people…
For Tuya, Rosalía uses as a base a melody composed by a pentatonic scale. Don’t you know what it is? Well, it is a scale mode composed of a succession of five sounds and it is very common in countries like Japan. It could be said that many of the traditional songs of this country are composed with this type of scales.
In addition, for the base of Tuya, Rosalía uses a sound very similar to that of the koto: a typical Japanese instrument that is the basis of some of the oldest songs in the country. In fact, the sound of this new song could have been inspired by one of Japan’s most popular songs: ‘Sakura Sakura’.
The sakura flower, which the star compares to pop divas in Motomami’s latest song, is one of the most cherished and popular symbols of Japanese culture. Rosalía’s obsession with Japan goes back a long way.
