Speaker 0 00:00:03 Mommy,
Speaker 1 00:00:10 Mommy noun a biker chick or a singer. Rosa describes it an energy. If you've never heard of the word, Moto, mommy, don't worry. I hadn't either, but the word will definitely be making its mark as it is the title of the third studio album of Spanish singer Rosa released on March 18th, 2022 by Columbia records. Tami is a 16 track experimental pop and Al Reggaton album. The album had its fair share of hype since singer Rosa had not released an album since 20 in the us multi mommy debuted at number 33 on the billboard hot 100 with 17,000 album units sold in its first week. The album also was number one in the top Latin pop album chart and had the largest opening week for a Latin pop album in the year 2022. I sat down with w neuro News's campus, local editor, who also had happens to be my friend Maria, to discuss our thoughts on the album and how we reacted to it.
Speaker 2 00:01:08 My expectations before the album came out were actually really bad. Like I thought, I dunno, Rosa, the way that she's going as an artist is a lot of auto tune and different things like that. I was just not very excited for this album. And then so specifically when she dropped, um, chicken, I was like, girl, what are we doing
Speaker 3 00:01:31 In my nightmares?
Speaker 2 00:01:43 And then I saw the like track list and things like that. And I was like, um, I'm not sure I'm too excited for this album, but you know, you have to give it a chance. So I, when it dropped, I actually listened it through and I was pleasantly surprised. There are some gems, there are also not so much gems, but I definitely enjoyed my time listening to it. And now there are some songs that I do play and I'll show my friends and they're like, like, what is this? Like super excited. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 3 00:02:14 She's doing something very experimental mm-hmm <affirmative>. So I think that a lot of people really like the songs where she kind of goes back to her roots, like with the flamenco, like, and
Speaker 2 00:02:25 Like that's my favorite 100% reminds me of like what I kind of fell in love with her music. So Thea was like one of my favorites. And then, um, there was like other ones that she has.
Speaker 3 00:02:38 What's your least favorite song on the album?
Speaker 2 00:02:42 I say hint to,
Speaker 0 00:02:54 I
Speaker 2 00:02:54 Dunno, like, it sounds very melodic and super nice and very like, oh cool. But then like hear the lyrics and I'm just like, no ride bike, like that's not oh like that. So I think that was my least favorite
Speaker 3 00:03:09 Mm-hmm <affirmative> so speaking of what are your favorite songs from the album?
Speaker 2 00:03:14 I got you. I wrote a list. The Lidia get on this says number one, for sure. I like Saco. Sal's very, I don't know. Exciting. Like people will kind of just like vibe to it
Speaker 5 00:03:37 Chi so, so,
Speaker 2 00:03:45 And then, oh my God. My favorite Moto mommy, like, okay. Farrell is on this track, right? We know that his producer tag are those four beats in the beginning, but Moto, mommy, you just like be standing here just like doing homework and a look at mommy. What the mommy, what the mommy, what the mommy like, it is the best thing in the world. And I just, I don't know. I've been stuck in my head right now.
Speaker 3 00:04:07 I remember like texting you when I heard it for the first time, like through being like, oh my God, this is actually like, not terrible.
Speaker 2 00:04:16 Yeah. Because we were just teased. Okay. That's a, also another, another conversation she teased with like the weirdest lyrics and the songs that are like, weren't the best on the album. Yeah. And it got conversation happening, right? Like it got people to be like, uh, uh, like got people. Cause people love to hate things. Right. They love to hate songs. They love to hate artists, but then it gets you listening and then you're wait a second. Your impression was incorrect. So I don't know. I think, I think it was very effective for Rosalia, but I would definitely love for her to go back to her, her roots, her Flamingo roots. Cause I think that's what made her so different now it's like super auto tune and like she's tapping into different genres, you know what that you know mean? So
Speaker 3 00:05:02 I agree. I think that it was very smart of her because I remember listening to seeing the chicken that Y music video and being like, I hate this so much. I hated so much, so much. I'm not listening to this album. And I did because I wanted to see if all of them were bad and then they weren't. So it was like, oh, okay. That's nice.
Speaker 2 00:05:21 Oh, I think it, another thing that I really enjoyed from this album was her collaboration with the weekend, um, to hear him sing in Spanish and like do it pretty well. I was pleasantly shocked,
Speaker 7 00:05:36 Smile on,
Speaker 2 00:05:43 I think it's something that we haven't heard from the weekend. I really did help him as well to kind of tap into that, that market. And then also she collaborated with Okia.
Speaker 3 00:05:50 I love her.
Speaker 2 00:05:51 I love, yeah. I would love to see more collabed on her end because again, with Farrell producing Tami, having the weekend and PHA on the album, I think that there's, she can really tap into that in future projects.
Speaker 1 00:06:05 Although the album has cost it fair share of controversy. Since as a Spanish artist placed in the Latin category, despite not being Latina herself, Tami has been a trail blazer in the development of new experi will sound for the Reggaton and Latin pop genre this week. Rosa, she will be going on the Tami world tour across Europe, north America and Latin America from July to December of this year, tickets will be going on sale today for w news. This was Maria man.
Speaker 8 00:06:32 Money, money, money, money, money, money, mommy, money. Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy.
