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

    It is one of the most exciting and passionately composed albums to appear not only in the global bass tradition but in the pop and experimental spheres this year.

    Rosalía’s new album, El Mal Querer, is less rigorous than its predecessor, though even easier to like. ... It’s also extremely effective.

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

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

    Um dos melhores álbuns em língua espanhola! Possui um ritmo cativante que encanta logo na primeira audição. Rosalía veio para ficar

    No other album this year is so mature, incredible and well written and produced as this one. Hands down

    I didn't like it because the album doesn't have good songs, the only one that is more or less we can say it's "malamente"
