Rosalía’s New Music Video Is Ready: What We Know About ‘R4’
The Spanish artist’s next album is closer than ever
Rosalía’s new album seems to be closer than ever. The Spanish artist is generating a wave of excitement following the recent news that her next music video is ready. While we recently learned that she will appear in the upcoming season of Euphoria, the Tuya singer is not neglecting her main focus: music.
According to Catalan media (Rosalía’s homeland), specifically the Que no surti d’aquí program on Catalunya Ràdio, the singer has filmed a new music video in the iconic Montserrat Mountain, accompanied by the children’s choir L’Escolania de Montserrat. This setting, known for its mysticism and solemnity, suggests that Rosalía may be exploring a more introspective and spiritual side in her music.
The choice of Montserrat as a location is no coincidence. This place, deeply symbolic in Catalan culture, has been a source of inspiration for many artists over the years. Collaborating with L’Escolania de Montserrat, one of the oldest and most prestigious children’s choirs in Europe, adds a choral and traditional dimension that contrasts with the more urban sound of her previous work. This move could signal a return to her roots or an innovative fusion between tradition and contemporary music.
Everything We Know About Rosalía’s New Album: R4
The news of this music video has intensified anticipation for what will be her fourth studio album, tentatively titled R4. Since the release of MOTOMAMI in 2022, Rosalía has kept fans on edge, dropping subtle hints about the direction of her new music. In an interview with Highsnobiety, the artist mentioned that the process of creating this album has been transformative for her, although she continues to explore the same questions and maintains her love for the past while staying curious about the future.
Additionally, Alfredo Lagos, a guitarist who has collaborated with Rosalía on previous projects, has hinted at a possible return to flamenco in this new work. Lagos noted that the singer remains committed to flamenco and is working on something related to the genre, though he did not specify any release dates.
Rosalía’s recent collaborations have also fueled speculation about the sound of R4. Her work on Omega with Madrid-based artist Ralphie Choo showcased a more experimental and electronic side, while her collaboration with BLACKPINK’s LISA on New Woman blended Western pop with Asian influences. There have also been rumors of a possible collaboration with Alejandro Sanz. These partnerships suggest that the upcoming album could be an eclectic mix of styles and cultures, reflecting Rosalía’s versatility.

The excitement isn’t limited to just the music itself. In October 2024, Rosalía surprised her fans by dressing up for Halloween with a direct reference to her next album. She appeared with a CD embedded in her forehead, labeled R4, which many interpreted as a sign that the new record was at the forefront of her creative process.
The music industry is also eagerly awaiting the release of R4. Industry insiders have ranked this album among the most anticipated of 2025, alongside new projects from artists like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and The Weeknd. Expectations are high for Rosalía to bring freshness and innovation to the music scene, solidifying her position as one of the most influential artists of the past decade.
In the meantime, Rosalía has maintained an active presence on social media, sharing glimpses of her creative process and collaborations. Although she has been careful not to reveal too many details about R4, these posts have helped keep excitement and anticipation alive among her fans.
