“A Palé” – 2019
Filmed in a warehouse, “‘A Palé’ takes its name from the nearly ubiquitous wooden shipping pallets Rosalía was surrounded by for years growing up in an area outside Barcelona dominated by trucking industry,” a release explains, “but the spirit of the song centers around ‘doing it big’ — our ability to be strong and carry a lot of weight.”
“Juro Que” – 2020
Returning to her flamenco roots for her first single of the year, “Juro Que’s” music video showcases the perfect dramatization of loneliness, despair and the helplessness of not being able to solve a problem.” – Billboard.com
