Madrid
“The a for height”, “c for flirty”, “e for empress”, “m for motomami”, “t for titanic”… Rosalía’s vocabulary is so popular that it is already a reference for many of her followers . It has become clear this week when a contestant on ‘La roulette de la suerte’, the Antena 3 contest, has become popular on social networks by asking for the lyrics for her panel using the words used by the singer from Sant Cugat del Vallés .
Several of the accounts that report on Rosalía’s news have published a summary video of this contestant’s participation in the program and in 24 hours it already exceeds a million and a half views. The contestant has gone viral thanks to the echo that these posts have had: some of them have thousands of retweets and tens of thousands of likes.
The comments the post receives speak for themselves. “The best”, “what a queen”, “genius”… can be read among the contributions made by the tweeters to the publication made by the singer’s account. Much of these comments are from people referring to other followers of Rosalía. The message they dedicate to them is recurring: “It could be you.”
Premiere of ‘Despecha’
Rosalia published this Thursday on digital platforms and without prior notice the long awaited song despise which had become one of the most popular of the unreleased songs released on his most recent tour, Motomami World Tour. It was at the inaugural concert in Almería on July 6 the first time that the Catalan artist performed this cut in public, which in the official repertoire was referred to simply as new mamboby the musical genre to which it belongs.
It was the public that baptized it at first as Lao a lao for one of his most repeated verses, in which he sings: “I move it from lao to lao”, and the one that made it viral on networks thanks to the fragments recorded live of the song. Shortly after, a video of the artist herself was added with a 35-second advance uploaded to Tik Tok.
At her first concert in Madrid, Rosalía asked the attendees which title they liked best for the song, whether the one that had come about naturally or despise, the one that she had proposed in her networks. “Despite ‘, right? I like it better too. It is officially titled that way,” she sentenced then.
