When it’s sad, it’s sad. On Como Un G, with its gauzy Aphex Twin-esque piano and crippling lyrics about a relationship that isn’t meant to last, Rosalía opens the wound and bleeds out in a way that feels like wrenching open the door of the Capulet tomb. “I was really sad when I wrote that song. It still makes me feel a little bit teary every time I hear it because I remember the feeling when I was writing it. I have so many things in my life that I wish would last longer… I wish!” she says. “But still it’s like, even if this doesn’t make sense, I love you. Even though you are not close, I still think about you. Sometimes writing a song helps me to let go.”
