ROSALÍA Unleashes “Berghain” ft. Björk & Yves Tumor A Cinematic Fusion of Art, Sound, and Spirituality

A New Chapter for ROSALÍA

ROSALÍA opens a bold new chapter with the release of “Berghain,” the first single from her upcoming album LUX. Teaming up with two avant-garde icons, Björk and Yves Tumor, the Catalan artist steps into an experimental and symphonic world where sound, image, and symbolism collide.

According to Pitchfork, “Berghain” marks a turning point that bridges classical instrumentation with industrial emotion, offering one of ROSALÍA’s most daring compositions to date.

Why “Berghain”?

The title references Berlin’s legendary techno club, a global symbol of underground culture, freedom, and transformation. But beyond the club itself, “Berghain” serves as a metaphor for catharsis: a place where identity dissolves, and the self is reborn through rhythm and intensity.

As Los40 notes, the song’s lyrics move between Spanish, English, and German, reflecting both the cultural reach of ROSALÍA’s music and her fascination with the tension between spirituality and desire.

The Sound: A Collision of Worlds

In “Berghain,” ROSALÍA trades the urban-flamenco textures of her previous albums for something more cinematic and ethereal.

• Instrumentation: sweeping strings, layered choirs, and orchestral percussion mixed with synthetic basslines.
• Collaboration: Björk brings her mystical, experimental touch, while Yves Tumor injects raw emotional chaos.
• Language: the trilingual lyrics create a hypnotic, borderless atmosphere.

This sonic fusion feels like a spiritual rave, half cathedral, half nightclub.

The Video: Ritual, Reality, and Symbolism

Directed by Nicolás Méndez of CANADA, the “Berghain” music video juxtaposes everyday moments of ROSALÍA eating breakfast, cleaning, walking through the city with surreal, almost sacred imagery: animals, an itinerant orchestra, and scenes of transformation.

Throughout the video, an orchestra follows her like a shadow or a conscience. The result is both haunting and beautiful, a visual metaphor for the duality between the mundane and the divine.

As El País describes it, “It’s as if she’s turning daily life into a ritual, the club into a cathedral, and the self into art.”

What “Berghain” Means for LUX and ROSALÍA’s Evolution

• The single opens the third movement of LUX, an album structured in four acts exploring femininity, transcendence, and rebirth.
• It confirms ROSALÍA’s fearless evolution from pop star to conceptual artist, fusing the personal with the universal.
• For longtime fans, it’s a moment of discovery. For new listeners, it’s an invitation into an emotional and experimental soundscape.

Conclusion

With “Berghain,” ROSALÍA doesn’t just release a new single, she launches a cultural moment. The song and video blur the lines between the sacred and the sensual, between art and life. It’s a meditation on transformation, identity, and creative freedom.

For LaMezcla.com, “Berghain” represents more than a release, it’s a reminder that Latin music continues to evolve, challenge, and inspire the global stage.
