MOTOMAMI +
ROSALÍA & The Weeknd (2021)
“If MOTOMAMI+ didn’t just introduce me to Rosalía… it converted me into a superfan, then I don’t know what will. This deluxe version of Motomami takes the boundary‑pushing spirit of the original — itself a genre‑defying explosion of reggaetón, flamenco, avant‑pop, glitchy R&B, and experimental edges and lets it breathe even more. It’s not just an album; it’s a creative manifesto that feels personal, unpredictable, and wildly alive.  From the moment MOTOMAMI+ starts, you can feel Rosalía owning her contradictions…hard beats sit right beside tender balladry, and clever genre fusions collide with confident swagger. Tracks like “CHICKEN TERIYAKI” bounce with party energy and clever lyricism, while deeper cuts such as Aislamiento on the deluxe run showcase her vocal range and emotional depth in a way that hits you in the chest.  What makes this album feel special to me is how it balances experimental risk‑taking with heartfelt expression. It doesn’t just blend sounds — it blurs them, mashing up reggaetón, avant pop, and Latin traditions into something fresh and undeniably Rosalía. It’s playful one minute, introspective the next, and always bold.  Sure, a couple of the new tracks on MOTOMAMI+ aren’t game‑changers compared to the core Motomami gems, but the added breadth and seamless flow keep the energy high and the emotions real. By the end, I wasn’t just nodding along…I was hooked.”
