    Beautiful songwriting masterpiece. Not only that, the instrumentals are so good and the fact that the album is a tesis says it all.

    Que no salga la luna is AN EXPERIENCE, that song is flawless from start to finish
    Malamente is also a stand out
    This album as a whole - very cohesive and it’s just beautiful the way she makes flamenco into pop.

    Amazing concept album from Rosalía. The fusion between flamenco and pop is pure art.

    The first time I listened to this album I just couldn't believe such beauty could exist. So many layers, so much emotion, I sincerely haven't heard a most perfect album since then.

    Un álbum donde nos enseña de forma artística sus raíces, su cultura. Relatando una historia extremadamente bien contada.

    Obra maestra cada uno de sus canciones, hace una mezcla de flamenco con otros estilos además de usar como influencia un libro con un contexto que sin problema encaja en casi cualquier persona con una mala relación

    Rosalía nos da un aire fresco dentro de la música con fusión de flamenco y géneros urbanos y los combina a la perfección en un álbum basado en una novela española.

    Much more than an album. El Mal Querer is art in its purest form, in a way that practically every other contemporary production becomes tiny beside of it. The story behind it, the vocals, the visual production, everything is absolutely mindblowing. Rosalia is great!

    With 'El mal querer', Rosalía broke through the music industry bringing a burst of fresh air. The album is an intelligent work of art and has become a role model for other artists. Her ability to mix flamenco with modern elements and the way she integrates references from different scopes leads to a blatantly astonishing project.

    O magnífico álbum de Rosália me fez conhecer a artista e ficar encantado com cada detalhe. A produção, as letras teatrais e conceituais são as principais características desse álbum do ano! Melhor álbum até agora

    Yo conocí el arte de Rosalía desde que escuché “Con Altura” pero al escuchar esta maravilla me volví fan al 100%, su voz, su conocimiento musical, su experiencia con el flamenco, todo lo que sabe Rosalía lo deja a flor de piel en su trabajo. Solo puede esperar excelencia de una artista de este calibre. ¡Me encanta!

    An album where Flamenco it’s present in every song and with high academic antecedents. Very well done! The concept of the album makes the album unique and it really shows a linear cohesion between music and intended concept

    En mi opinión es el mejor disco hecho en la historia, todo el disco tiene una continuidad, te cuenta una historia basada en un libro del siglo XIII, mezcla todo tipo de música, en definitiva una obra maestra.

    A bastion of control and quaking vulnerability that strikes a match against its sombre surrounds. [Jan 2019, p.113]

    This is music potent and adventurous enough to grip you without you understanding a word of what she’s actually singing.

    Despite--or perhaps because of--its brevity (just over 30 minutes), El Mal Querer is arresting in its tension, passion, and creative ingenuity.
