Rosalia: New US Rolling Stone Cover and New Live Version

 Rosalía has started the new year in style insofar as she is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the United States as you can discern now:

Rosalia Rolling Stone Magazine

Rolling Stone magazine revolutionized the world of music and music journalism. Born in San Francisco (Northern California) was able to captivate the audience in such a way it became the "Bible of rock and roll music" and indeed, artists fought each other in order to appear on the cover because it was deemed an honour (it still is).

The Rolling Stones, which was one of the best rock and roll bands in the world at that time, sued the magazine because they thought the title was very similar to their name hence illegal. However, both parties reached an agreement which fulfillment still is ongoing.

Rolling Stone magazine opened to other musical genres and in the 1990s, it embraced the world of cinema and other kinds of articles, even political ones. With the Internet kicking off Rolling Stone lost relevance as many other magazines but the real problem it faces nowadays is that the new owner is a close friend of Donald Trump only interested in obtaining money when this magazine was very idealistic in its inception.

In fact, seeing this change in the ownership many of the outstanding writers of Rolling Stone left. For instance, critic Peter Travers who was the movie reviewer of the magazine for decades. 

Anyway, Rolling Stone still is relevant and Rosalía makes history.  As a matter of fact, if you are not from America or a country in the same orbit and you do not sing in English achieving what Rosalía has just done is truly remarkable and complicated.

However, even though the pictures are spectacular I was not impressed with the article published on Rosalía and I believe it is because I live in Spain thereby I got plenty of information about her and the magazine published something bearing the American audience in mind.

Similarly, one of the biggest hits of Rosalía in 2022, Despechá, has a new and brilliant live version that can be discovered right now:
