Maybe not? I'm doing admission interviews, and I've seen all the usual gpt4 answers. Anyone who gives a long answer similar to gpts output get downrated.

A wise girl told me that you can't hit rock bottom because there's no bottom, there's no end.

15. Magnolias
Amin/C major. Diatonic. (Harmonic minor a few times)
Nice woodwinds, choir, strings

14. Memoria with Carminho (Portugese Fado singer). Both sing in Porugese (I think, but Rosalía has an accent that sounds catalan to me)
C major. Lots of iii-VI-ii-iv-I. Sounds beautiful and a bit surprising? Maybe common in Fado? Don't know the genre...

13. La Rumba del perdón with Estrella Morente and Silvia Pérez Cruz
Guitar-heavy Mostly Andalusian Cadence Sometimes also minor on 5 as well (when melody rise like in Swedish folk). Lots of melisma singing from the trio. Very dynamic singing.

12. Sauvignon Blanc
Ab major. Lyrics entirely in Spanish. A tu lado mi futuro será dorado. Mostly piano. Some very nice woodwind counter melodies.

11. La Yugular
F minor aeolian mode. Lyrics in Spanish and Arab(?). Voice, strings and some guitar. Very good string arranging is the center piece of the production. Beautiful choir interlude. Outro has a spoken words in English. Lyrics concerns the eternity of the hypothesised soul. Good song

10. Dios es un Stalker
B flat mixolydian iv -- ii - I. The mixolydian mode always sounds pretty folky/blues to me. Modulates a minor third up to a higher key for the last chorus, which is quite rare in pop of the last 30 years. In Spanish.

9. De Madrugá
Hahaha, more B phrygian sound C B C B C B etc. Spanish. Changes to E aeolian when the lyrics switch to Ukranian, my wife says the Ukrainian lyrics chiefly concerns revenge.

8. Mundo Nuevo
Ok, this is in B phrygian, clearly. B C B C B C..... Sounds like when Hans Zimmer writes a sound-track for a movie that takes place in the desert, if I'm being uncharitable. Of course, Rosalía is rooted in Flamenco so it sounds pretty natural for her.

La Perla with Yahritza y su esencia
A waltz I did not particularly like in E maj. By now I've notice that Rosalía really likes to use the harmonic motion I-VI-ii. Lyrics in Spanish. I suspect it could be a hit.
November 8, 2025 at 8:01 PM
The harmony is a very simple i-iv-V, the orchestration, the rubato the tasteful mixing in of modern pop sound is what makes this perfect. Lyrics in German (which of course makes it sound more like a classical requiem), Spanish and English. Mike Tyson credited with the chocking lyrics for the coda.

6. Berghain with Björk and Yves Tumor
Masterpiece. Choir and Full orchestra. Very requiem feeling. Rosalía's singing is again a mix of near classical singing and pop singing. Björk's voice work perfect with the song. D minor.

5. Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti.
Written for Rosalías grand mother who loves the bel canto style. Lyrics in italian, of course. Rosalía sings in different styles through the piece to great effect.
In Bb major. Some harmonic language borrowed from mid-19-century pop. Sounds a bit pastiche/inspired.
