Rosalía Says She Never Listens to Her Albums, Calls Doing So “Pointless” and “Torture”

Rosalía says she never listens to her albums after they are finished, because she considers revisiting them pointless and “torture”. She says she makes music to share and let go, rather than to keep reassessing decisions she has already made.

The comments are striking given the meticulous process behind her latest album, *LUX*, which took two years to complete. Rosalía said she can still imagine changes, such as raising the violins slightly or recording another vocal take. The album features lyrics in 14 languages, operatic vocals and orchestral arrangements, and she described its tour as the most demanding of her career.
