Latin music has had great relevance during this 2022 in the world. In TIME, we already saw how Bad Bunny topped the list of the most important songs with ‘Tití me pregunta’, now it is the turn of the Spanish Rosalía, who says she is present in the list of the best albums of the year, according to The New York Times.
The American newspaper brought together music critics Jon Pareles, Jon Caramanica and Lindsay Zoladz, who decided the best albums of this year, classifying them in the following list:
- American Heartbreak – Zach Bryan
- Motomami – Rosalia
- Honestly, Nevermind – Drake
- Welcome to the Block Party – Priscilla Block
- Renaissance – Beyonce
- Farm to Table – Bartees Strange
- Gulch’s final show, Sound & Fury Festival, July 31, 2022
- Last Ones Left – 42 Dugg and EST Gee
- Mr. Money with the Vibe – Asake
- Disrespectful – Bad Boy Chiller Crew
- Un Verano Sin Ti – Bad Bunny
- Club Godfather – Bandmanrill
- Endure – Special Interest
“Each song morphs as it unfolds, leaping across the Americas and back to Spain, rarely revealing where it’s headed. Along the way, Rosalía appears fragile at one moment and invincible at the next”, Parele points out about the Spaniard’s record.

For his part, Zoladz points out that “in the singular ‘Motomami‘, one of the coolest pop stars on the planet, mixes countless genres and cultural influences to create her own world of sound.
Motomami continues to reap success
The third studio album by the Spaniard has positioned itself as the most successful of her career, gaining recognition in markets she had not previously explored and gaining recognition from specialized music critics.
It is no coincidence that the singer has won the award for best album of the year at the recent installment of the 2022 Latin Grammys, passing over Bad Bunny himself with his reproduced album ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’.
