Solidarity with my friends and former colleagues at NPR amid these horrific layoffs. They have given me their friendship and guidance, and this industry way, way more than it deserves.

Rosalía's third album Motomami is an experiment that at times considers its subject and the relationships it threatens with startling honesty and innovative musical turns, and at others loses itself in the stake it claims in Latin pop and reggaeton.
