    Um álbum experimental que soa igual mas ao mesmo tempo diferente durante todo o seu percurso. As mudanças bruscas nas músicas e a estética única do álbum fazem dele o álbum mais produzido de 2022

    The production on this is a rare experience. From the “El Mal Querer” concept album, to the “Motomami” experimental, Rosalía outdoes herself. The Motomami album artwork, tracklist, tour, and era is something everyone needs to pay attention to.

    Es un álbum que revoluciona completamente la música de habla hispana con muchos sonidos nuevos, ritmos poco explorados en español y con muchos sentimientos en el que podemos ver mucha diferencia en sus canciones pero integrándolas de buena forma sintiéndose así un álbum muy completo y variado que se puede escuchar en cualquier momento

    Rosalía's has forever changed the landscape of music forever!!! Rosalía's music is grounded in her flamenco background, it sways from pop to jazz, and is inflected with hip-hop and reggaetón beats, her music even features elements of bachata and salsa! She has bridged the gap between western and latin music! Experimented with new exciting sounds!!!

    Fresco, innovador y lleno de sorpresas.
    La verdad MOTOMAMI se nos vino con todo y es un respiro fresco para la industria musical en español.
    Siendo un giro fresco e innovador.

    There are genuinely no albums like MOTOMAMI. I can't remember the last time an album's sound, versatility, aesthetic, and visuals captivated me in such a way. From the lustrous piano on tracks like "HENTAI" and "COMO UN G" to the gritty bass "SAOKO" and even more busy moments like chiptune on "BIZCOCHITO" and "CUUUUuuuuuute" with a Kate Bush interpolation, it's so insanely refreshing toThere are genuinely no albums like MOTOMAMI. I can't remember the last time an album's sound, versatility, aesthetic, and visuals captivated me in such a way. From the lustrous piano on tracks like "HENTAI" and "COMO UN G" to the gritty bass "SAOKO" and even more busy moments like chiptune on "BIZCOCHITO" and "CUUUUuuuuuute" with a Kate Bush interpolation, it's so insanely refreshing to see an artist, especially Rosalía blend these sounds and vibes so seamlessly into one album... or perhaps two since it's considered a double album. The duality stands predominantly on its own, setting the tone for the overall concept.

    Expecting more flamenco and folk from the predecessor, El Mal Querer, I must admit my mind (and ears) were blown upon the first couple of listens. On its release date, MOTOMAMI and Crash by Charli XCX came out, and I told myself I would listen to Crash first, only to have Rosalía lock me in a chokehold the entire day. The experimental influence was there; I streamed SAOKO so many times, I'm surprised it hasn't fallen off my rotation yet. HENTAI, though a timid ballad about riding... a bike... ends with deconstructed drums that brashly run in and out my ears. It also has very personable and vulnerable moments, like G3 N15, which, I did not like at first. But somehow, each track has its own personality that shines through. DIABLO got me through a rough winter and finals season, the minute-long title track acts as a laidback but exciting interlude in my playlist and DESPECHÁ (although a deluxe track) got me through my summer. I will admit, the deluxe tracks don't add anything new or super exciting, it's the thought of new content that counts, and I will gladly accept it despite it not being up to par with the rest of the album. Pardon my lengthy review but this album truly deserved it. MOTOMAMI you will always be famous.    … Expand

    Este es sin duda el mejor álbum del 2022, un increíble disco con una excelente experimentación de sonidos y emociones. Sin duda supero a su anterior álbum, El Mal Querer. Es increíble como Rosalía crece, evoluciona y transforma en cada proyecto, definitivamente una de las mejores artistas que tenemos.

    Sus dos primeros albums fueron geniales. Aquí hace un ejercicio de ir a ninguna parte y con muchas peores ideas que en sus trabajos anteriores. Y lo peor que ya no tiene solución. Letras escritas como si fuese una choni y una producción muy floja.

    Y sin esperarlo, Rosalía nos ha regalado un proyecto perfectamente pulido junto a su propia atmósfera artística con la dualidad de Moto y Mami. Moto posee una potencia y agresividad que sorprende a los oyentes procedentes de El Mal Querer (aunque nos daba un avance en ¨De aquí no sales¨ junto a sonidos violentos como el de las propias motos) como en Bizcochito, o en Bulerías, donde se experimenta una mayor potencia en el flamenco normativo. Por el otro lado, Mami proporciona una sensibilidad al disco y nos proporciona una faceta más personal de la autora donde destacan ¨Como un G¨ o ¨Delirio de Grandeza¨. Aunque si hay que hablar de una canción en específico es de G3 N15, que nos enseña los miedos más ocultos y que hacen emocionarnos por una extraña sensación de pérdida.

    La distribución de las canciones es algo peculiar, debido a que no siguen un orden en concreto ya que Rosalía quería aportar una experiencia parecida a una montaña rusa de sentimientos, y aunque es verdad que lo consigue, algunas sensaciones se rompen por el cambio al inicio de la siguiente canción (como el paso de G3 N15 a Motomami). Y no solo pasa en el paso de canción a canción, sino que el propio track (como en Diablo o CUUUUuuute) hay una transición de una belicosidad a un pacifismo profundo, aunque en estos casos si consigue la bipolaridad buscada. También cabe destacar el buen inicio del álbum junto a Saoko, para explicar la nueva era creativa, y finalizar con Sakura , para demostrar que la Rosalía de El Mal Querer no ha desaparecido, sino que se ha transformado.

    Gracias al resultado podemos ver su faceta experimental y sus ansias de buscar nuevos sonidos y experiencias musicales . Y así Rosalía ha conseguido reinventar lo reinventado en este nuevo disco, consiguiendo dar sentido a estructuras asimétricas y mezclar géneros, como un bolero junto a un sample de Vistoso Bosses. Sin miedo, ha conseguido experimentar y arriesgar con nuevos tonos, dotando al disco de una producción perfecta junto a sonidos que se van de los cánones ya establecidos. Y aunque El Mal Querer ya pertenece a la cultura musical de este siglo y es considerado uno de los mejores discos de la historia de la música, me voy a atrever a confesar que Motomami deslumbra algo más, y aunque no he encontrado una razón en específico, es inevitable pensar que la valentía a la hora de evolucionar en lo admirado ya por todos, puede que haya aportado un aire fresco que no sabíamos que necesitábamos de ella.

    Lo que sí me ha quedado claro al escuchar el álbum es que pase lo que pase en el futuro Rosalía no va a defraudar.    … Expand

Rosalia nos ha demostrado una vez más que es una artista que apuesta por la experimentación sin miedo alguno, demostrando que no hay que encasillarla en un género concreto, al igual que sucede con el álbum que no podemos clasificarlo en un género o en varios géneros concretos porque nos presenta temas los cuales son inclasificable por la complejidad que tiene. Los temas escuchados de manera sueltanos deja un sabor agridulce, pero cuando escuchamos el disco de una tirada nos da una obra con buena composición y sonidos muy actuales y traicionados que suenan bien entre sí haciendo que se nos quede un muy buen sabor. Puede que con este disco Rosalía nos esté diciendo que en un futuro igual se atreverá a lanzar un disco totalmente underground. Sin dudas es uno de los mejores lanzamientos musicales en lo que llevamos de año, y aspira a ser uno de los discos del año.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A truly wild and beautiful album. I have heard from other critics that this album reminds them of a latin pop version of Kanye West’s “Ye”, and i have to say I do see the resemblance. The opener “Saoko” is my personal favorite track off the record, the booming distorted piano and the jazz break make this a truly fun and surprising listening experience that sounds nothing like i’ve ever heard before. Another extreme highlight is track six “Hentai”. As I listened I fell in love with rosalía extraordinary voice as she gracefully glides over the simplistic piano of the cut, and suddenly gunshot like drums come rushing in and give this gorgeous song even more life and beauty then I ever could have imagined. “MOTOMAMI” is a must listen of this year. From the skull rattling base of “Cute” & the title track “Motomami”, to the grand finish “Sakura”. “MOTOMAMI” is a nearly perfect album front to back and is possibly my favorite album to come out of this year, extremely excited to see where Rosalía goes next.… Expand

    I have no Spanish whatsoever so no notion what this about in a lyrical sense. Musically it is an excellent pop record. Contemporary sounding yet feel like it will age well. The production is organic enough that it sounds like it will stand the test of time. Well put together and sounds well written. Even if I have no idea what is being said, it sounds great.

    Before you know it, you’ve already reached the end of the record and are left stunned by Rosalía’s vocal abilities and production quality. If some tracks are so far out there, it’s hard to pinpoint what’s exactly going on, ¾ of the album is absolutely stellar. A great risqué work of art from one of the most acclaimed new Spanish superstars.

    Motomami is honest, insightful and emotional. The combination of reggaeton, experimental pop and piano ballads contribute for a very interesting dynamic.

    I enjoyed this album very much, and I find myself coming back to it a lot. Rosalia offers a wide variety of sounds, beats, vibes, and emotions throughout the project. From heavy hitters such as "Saoko", "Bizcochito", and "Diablo", to yearning, vulnerable cuts such as "Hentai", "G3 N15", and "Como Un G", there is a large selection of moods and energies reflected on the tracklist.

    Tras El Mal Querer Rosalía se dejo una barrera a superar muy alta, Motomami es un album diferente, con un sonido que a veces llega a ser algo repetitivo pero con una producción a destacar. Mami es la parte mas profunda y a mi pareser la mas interesante, mientras que Moto es un poco mas genérica pero también muy disfrutable si eres amante del genéro

    Motomami experiments with several genres and mixes reggaeton, electronica or flamenco among others and still sounds cohesive. It's not a perfect album, but a really good one indeed. I feel that with Motomami, Rosalia doesn't want to take herself so seriously like in her previous work. This album is a really smart move.

    Es un buen álbum con sus altos y bajos, lo que sobresale es la producción de Rosalía que es muy experimental, por lo cual muchas personas pensaran que es un mal álbum. Tiene ritmos interesantes y una gran excentricidad propia de Rosalía. Un buen álbum, no me parece que el mejor del año, pero al menos top 10.

    "Motomami" is a sonic mess, but a fun one indeed. I prefer Rosalía in flamenco mode; nevertheless, her sophomore effort is an interesting and genre-bending album with the potential to be a grower. Some of these songs are gonna be awesome live!

    With artists like Rosalía, critics can't seem to place themselves in an objective middle ground. It's either a 10 or a 0.

    I loved the journey listening to this album across different genre and tons of unique sounds and types of music. Some of those sounds are horrendous and extremely annoying to listen to, though. Her uniqueness and quirkiness can annoy me at times. It seems to be a me thing looking at others opinions.

    The most impressive part of this album is how experimental it is and how great the production is. However the lyricism of the album falls flat for me, a lot of the lyrics being blatantly corny. The production is impressive but for some reason still over half of the tracks still end up non enjoyable for me.

The first seven tracks are amazing. She did a great job with those. They are very catchy. While listening to them I felt like dancing right there on the spot, and when a song makes you feel like that the very first moment you listen to it, you know you are listening to a good song. But then, after these seven songs the album gets weird, but not weird-good, if you know what i mean; some of the songs make you wonder what are you even listening to, however, I have to say that I feel like i could end up liking some of these songs; I don't really see that as something impossible to happen, I´ll just wait and see.

    I don't understand how professional critics can praise an album where they don't understand what is being sung. The musical evolution is not only the rhythms but also the clear vocalization of what is being sung, in order to find meaning in the songs.

    MOTOMAMI is experimental in a way that does not sacrifice function over form. These songs have a pop purpose: they are fragmented, but they are laid in catchy hooks and enthralling beats. MOTOMAMI doesn’t fail to entertain.

    With a little help from an impressive array of collaborators and producers that include heavyweights like Pharrell Williams, El Guincho and Frank Dukes, Rosalía takes clear and complete control of her voice by getting her ideas across without being too caught up in them.
