ROSALÍA - LUX [Listening Party] - Second night @ Fidelity

in conjunction with The Big Romance present the Listen Closely series of listening parties, a night featuring a focus album from an artist we love on the last Wednesday of the month.

Second night added - new venue: Fidelity in Smithfield.

Reduced Presale tickets available now from .

Rosalía's Lux is the kind of album that demands to be heard properly and intently - a mountain-moving, orchestral operatic masterwork recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, sung in 13 different languages, and inspired from the writings of Simone Weil, Clarice Lispector and the lives of female saints. After the flamenco pop of El Mal Querer and the genre-slicing Motomami, Rosalía made something else entirely - intimate and enormous, ancient and futuristic, deeply human in every sense. The album is so ambituous and creative - it feels right to dedicate some real time to the record in a suitable environment without distractions. Come hear it loud and in full with us.
