Rosalía shares a score and fans are jumping in to play it on social media.

BarcelonaThe release of Rosalía's fourth album is one of the most anticipated news stories in the music industry, and therefore, any small hint about the Sant Esteve Sesrovires woman becomes news. This week, the artist piqued the curiosity of his followers by publishing a score titled "The Woman Who Cried Me" on his Substack newsletter. BerghainSeveral fans have been encouraged to play it with their instruments and have shared videos on social media, especially on TikTok.

Following the publication of the score, many have speculated about the possible sound of the new album she is preparing. Some of them, like violinist and producer Pepa Lopera, claimed that the notation "Barroc 108" that appears in the score could indicate that it is an arrangement for strings and that, furthermore, it would be fast-paced. Although many fans have been encouraged to perform the piece with string instruments, there are also those who have played it with wind instruments.

What does 'Berghain' mean?

Beyond the score, the title that accompanies the piece is also giving rise to much speculation. Berghain is the name of one of Berlin's most famous techno clubs. This temple of electronic music located between the Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain neighborhoods is open continuously from Saturday night to Monday morning and has dark rooms for sexual practices. To guarantee the privacy of the public, taking photos inside the club is not allowed and cell phone cameras must be covered. The mention of this club has caused many Rosalía fans to speculate that her fourth album will be marked by a techno sound.

Another fan theory is that Rosalía's new album will have a strong spiritual or religious component, an element that was already present in The evil desire, for example. This week, the singer changed her Instagram profile picture and opted for a photograph of a flash of light, an allegorical image that speaks of God. Furthermore, another of Rosalía's posts on Substack was titled A ladder to God"If you sing, you fight, but on the opposite side of abandonment. Singing is a love letter to verticality, a stairway to God," Rosalía asserts in the text she shared, which featured a photo of soprano Maria Callas smoking as an accompanying image. The figure of the great 20th-century opera diva looms over Rosalía: a few weeks ago, she was photographed in a café reading the score of the aria Art Visa, from the opera Tosca by Puccini, the opera with which Callas bid farewell to the operatic stage. In this aria, Tosca asks God what she has done to be so punished in life, before Scarpia attempts to rape her.

A poster that appears to be the cover of Rosalía's new album also appeared today in Madrid's Callao Square. In the black and white image, Rosalía's face can be seen, half-hidden by a sheet of music. The singer shared the poster in an Instagram story.
