Rosalía Is A Human Flame Emoji In Her 'Con Altura' Video With J Balvin

Rosalía is back with more fire; the Spanish sensation's "Con Altura" video with J Balvin and El Guincho has arrived. The latter artist handles the track's production, and Director X helms its very expensive-looking video, which finds the trio partying 30,000 feet airborne, putting any Earth-level club to shame.


Because it's a Rosalía vid, there's plenty of flamenco choreo, and then some pretty serious style moments: a red, flame-shaped bodysuit, a blindingly bedazzled bustier, plus a latex, lime green number that makes the party pop with color. As she sing-raps over the reggaeton-inspired beat, Balvin shows up to rage and game alongside her, while El Guincho takes the song's title ("Con Altura," or "With Height") literally by piloting the luxury jet.


In a press release, Rosalía explained that the new track — which she described as having "a Barcelonan-American-Latin pop vibe" — was inspired by her longtime love of reggaeton. "'Con Altura' is a homage to the more classic and original reggaeton: reggaeton Playero," she mentioned. As soon as I was younger, I loved listening to reggaeton also it can have been organic for me to prepare a song like this before, nevertheless I don't like to force anything. As a musician I let myself be guided by my intuition in each moment."


She added, "I really hope that each person who listens to it receives it with the same love with which it was made."


Rosalía will start a North American tour next month in back of her album El Mal Querer, which was released back in November. Her trek includes festival helps stop at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, and Pharrell's Something In The Water, so expect her U.S. Star power to continue exploding.
