Why Rosalía Won’t Stop Taking Risks and Doing Hard Things | The Job Interview
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 2:13An early teacher's criticism pushed Rosalía to explore rage and intensity alongside sweetness in her voice.
- 3:45Lux's orchestral direction meant accepting creative risks without guarantees of commercial success.
- 6:27She identifies the Italian, aria-inspired "Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti" as one of her proudest accomplishments.
- 8:15Her vision for the Lux show involves demanding ballet pointe training.
Singing in pointe shoes is not the easiest way to prepare an arena show. For Rosalía, that difficulty is part of the appeal. In her WSJ. Style interview about Lux, she describes the ballet training behind her vision and says, "I love a challenge, but it makes me grow, that's what I want."
The conversation is approaching 800,000 views and has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's featured uploads. Beyond the late-night Love Island sessions we covered here, there is a more demanding creative thread: committing to an orchestral direction without a guarantee of commercial success, then writing the Italian, aria-inspired "Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti," which she singles out with particular pride.
WSJ. Style posted nothing new this week, but its existing videos added roughly 577,000 views. Daily viewing is a little above its usual level, while the subscriber total is unchanged over the week.
The Job Interview is supplying much of the visible activity. Marlon James's conversation about research, procrastination and writing is drawing almost as many daily views as Rosalía's; Demis Hassabis's account of DeepMind, chess and consequential decisions follows close behind. A singer, a novelist and an AI researcher make an unusually varied set of colleagues.
Among the fashion channels nearby, Loic Prigent and Bliss Foster are seeing daily viewing at more than twice their usual levels. WSJ. Style's movement is gentler, with an empty release calendar and three substantial career conversations giving readers something to catch up on.
