    Otra obra de arte de la Rosalía. Aunque seguro choca mucho con el imagen que tienen los españoles de nuestro estrella flamenca catalana, el disco es muy especial y una mezcla de estilos distintos y interesantes.

    I don't understand how this generic pop album gets so much good reviews and even makes it as #2 on albums of the year. I'm completely baffled. There are maybe 2-3 good songs on it, but it sure doesn't merit #2...

    I was on a reddit thread for this album reading about ot before it dropped in my timezone where I read someone liken MOTOMAMI to Yezus which I couldn't fathom then but now wholly agree with. Rosliá return is a fantastic hard edged pop ride. It's a departure from her breakthrough flamenco sound but it's a welcomed evolution. One that bravely ventures where we haven't seen her go before.I was on a reddit thread for this album reading about ot before it dropped in my timezone where I read someone liken MOTOMAMI to Yezus which I couldn't fathom then but now wholly agree with. Rosliá return is a fantastic hard edged pop ride. It's a departure from her breakthrough flamenco sound but it's a welcomed evolution. One that bravely ventures where we haven't seen her go before. Every song here is above really good(including hentai which i love) and it's a constant thrill to hear her innovate with such a familiarity . The breathtaking Pharrell laden title track is a short sultry mantra whilst my second favorite track "cute" is a weird arca inspired celebration. It's difficult to pin down exactly what makes this album so powerful but what i have no difficultly knowing is that it will stay in the public conscious for a long long time… Expand

    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.

    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.

    I know this album is supposed to be different,indie,but at some songs it sounds too bad. Rosalia has one of the greatest voices of all time,but this album shows that a cat falling over the stairs can also be music. Not recommended

    I haven't been this obsessed with an album since "Discovery" by Daft Punk. The final song is so beautiful I cry every time I hear it.

    Motomami had a unique sound. You go from being in your bad **** era to sad **** era to marachi era. I really think she careful made this album and showcased all her many talented sides. She showed she really can do every genre!!

    Muchos temían que el álbum no estuviese a la altura de "El mal querer" y yo en parte también tenía algo de intriga, incluso al principio estaba un poco descolocada dadas las canciones que estaba sacando pero, como siempre, la rosalia nos dio a todos un puntito en la boca.

    Just another reggaeton album. Nothing special, just a mix of old Latin music and good voice, but nothing special.

    Absurdly overrated, I understand that there is musical evolution, but incoherent lyrics lead nowhere. For the first time I do not agree with the praise of professional critics. In the end, it's just my opinion.

    Motomami is maybe an over hyped album. Rosalia somehow does right with the experimental sound, it's appreciated the risk taken on rare melodies and rhythms. Apart from that, the lyrical base sucks in every single way. it's not understandable even being a Spanish native. Rosalia just recorded the first ideas she had with no coherence. So, it's acceptable if lyrics are the least of yourMotomami is maybe an over hyped album.

    Pure innovation. It's one of those albums that you don't understand the first time you listen. But, with each listen, you get hooked more and more. A delight.

    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.

    In taking bits and fragments from both her previous work and that of her contemporaries, Rosalía has fashioned an album rife with the contradictory sounds, lyrical themes, and artistic impulses of the past and present.

    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.
