Abstract:

Rosalía's experimentation with flamenco and other genres including reggaeton, trap, and bachata have catapulted the Catalunya-born performer to international success since the release of her sophomore album, El mal querer (2018). Rosalía's third studio album, Motomami, which was released in March 2022, charts the artist's voyage deeper into the world of Latin rhythms and electronic beats and further from her flamenco roots. In addition to her sound, Rosalía's aesthetic has continued to evolve, incorporating a seemingly endless collage of cultural references. One noteworthy aspect of this change is the appearance of frequent references to Japanese culture and Japanese-inspired trends. This paper proposes a reading of Rosalía's lyrical references to Japanese culture in Motomami as well as the music videos for "Saoko," "Candy," and "Chicken Teriyaki."

摘要：

自发行第二张专辑《El mal querer》（2018 年）以来，罗莎莉亚对弗拉门戈和其他流派（包括雷鬼、Trap 和 bachata）的尝试使这位出生于加泰罗尼亚的表演者在国际上取得了成功。Rosalía 的第三张录音室专辑《Motomami》于 2022 年 3 月发行，描绘了这位艺术家深入拉丁节奏和电子节拍世界、远离弗拉门戈根源的旅程。除了她的声音之外，罗莎莉亚的审美也在不断发展，融入了看似无穷无尽的文化参考拼贴。这一变化的一个值得注意的方面是频繁提及日本文化和受日本启发的趋势。本文建议阅读罗莎莉亚在《Motomami》中对日本文化的抒情引用以及《Saoko》、《Candy》和《Chicken Teriyaki》的音乐视频。
