    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.

    I had never listened to a Latin or Spanish album in my life. Went into it blind. What a mind-blowing listen. At it's core it's a pop album, songs like Chicken Teriyaki, Bizcochito and others. But its experimental, its random. All sorts of sounds and vocals coming at the listener. The drums on here are special, or should I say the percussion. The sound of her hands clapping, snapping ofI had never listened to a Latin or Spanish album in my life. Went into it blind. What a mind-blowing listen. At it's core it's a pop album, songs like Chicken Teriyaki, Bizcochito and others. But its experimental, its random. All sorts of sounds and vocals coming at the listener. The drums on here are special, or should I say the percussion. The sound of her hands clapping, snapping of fingers, using vocals as a drum pattern, the production on the album is amazing.

    I do not speak Spanish so I generally have no clue what she's saying although I can make out some words and themes. That's what makes the album so powerful. It makes me feel without any of the words cutting through. Her vocals go from a beautiful falsetto to autotune depending on the song or how she feels.

    I've been feeling lukewarm about so many albums recently. This one is a game changer. Album of 2022, album of the decade so far    … Expand

    This album is a masterpiece. Those who criticise it are closed minded and most of them aren't objective at all. First off, the production quality is insane, everything sounds on point. Everything sounds perfect, flawless. It has a unique convination of genres on it, that make this album outstand from the others. Listen to it before judging it.

    Desculpa mesmo Rosalia, mas não rolou para mim. Tenho que admitir que foi algo realmente inovador que não tinha escutado anteriormente, mas isso não necessariamente é uma coisa boa.

    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

    This album proves that Rosalia is a visionary and that she can dive into any genre and do it flawlessly, bringing us an album that feels unique and blends the mainstream with the experimental in a beautiful way. 9.5 out of 10.

    Rosalía has released one of the most innovative and artistic albums of 2022. The production style of "MOTOMAMI" is refreshing, angular, and rewards repeat listens. I fell in love with how abstract and interesting the songs sound. Highlights for me include, "BIZCOCHITO", "HENTAI", and "LA COMBI VERSACE".

    Did not expect this hit in my ears. Body moves on it's own. An album full of groove, passion, inner peace of mind, traditional voice skills and explicit rap.
    If it was a menu it would be a michelin star!

    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.

    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!!!

    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

    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.

    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 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.
