The global music scene is closely following the triumph of Rosalía, whose new album ‘Lux’ is breaking all records. Against the backdrop of her resounding success, news from the personal life of her ex-partner, C. Tangana, is especially striking. The musician and his girlfriend Rocío Aguirre are expecting a child, marking a new chapter in their lives.
Meanwhile, the Catalan diva continues her meteoric rise in the music world. Her recent performance of ‘La perla’ on one of the most popular late-night shows in the US further cemented her status as a global star. The album features collaborations with renowned artists such as Iceland’s Björk, as well as Silvia Pérez Cruz and Estrella Morente. The record swiftly reached the top 5 charts in both the US and the UK, prompting even Taylor Swift to take action to maintain her leadership in the British market. Rosalía’s dominance on Spotify confirmed the scale of a phenomenon that began in her childhood, when her grandmother introduced her to the music of Lola Flores and Carmen Sevilla.
C. Tangana’s professional career is also enjoying remarkable success. His cinematic debut, the documentary film “La guitarra flamenca,” received two Goya Awards, and it seems the artist plans to further expand into audiovisual projects following the overwhelming success of his latest album. The paths of these two musicians first crossed in 2015. At the time, he was gaining traction in underground circles, while she was a talented student taking her first steps on social media. Their introduction through mutual friends soon evolved into a creative partnership, which eventually blossomed into a passionate romance.
Their first notable joint stage appearance was with the performance of “Llámame más tarde” in 2016, which was followed by numerous other collaborations. Rosalía’s debut album, “Los ángeles,” received critical acclaim despite its non-commercial approach. During that period, C. Tangana was much better known than his partner. His 2017 hit “Mala mujer” shot up the charts, and many listeners perceived references to Rosalía in the lyrics, especially the mention of ‘scars from gel nails.’ A year later, their relationship hit a rough patch and ultimately ended.
The turning point came with the release of the single “Malamente” on May 30, 2018, which catapulted Rosalía to global stardom. The irony was that she created the album “El mal querer,” which made her famous, side by side with C. Tangana. Their relationship, it seemed, could not withstand the pressures of fame. Later, the singer had other relationships, including one with actor Jeremy Allen White, but they too ended unsuccessfully. Today, the former lovers have completely gone their separate ways: she is focused on her career and, according to rumors, enjoying her solitude, while he is preparing for his new role as a father.
