If you’ve stalked Rosalia's Instagram page before, it’s no secret that she loves the Japanese city and often travels there.
In “Tuya,” Rosalía’s new song and music video, the Spanish singer takes viewers on a stylish tour around Tokyo. “I was inspired by Japanese instruments to create the musical arrangement of ‘Tuya,’” she says. If you’ve stalked the star's Instagram page before, it’s no secret that she loves the Japanese city, andstyle. “Japan makes me want to move slowly, delicately,” says Rosalía. “It is beautiful no matter where you look at it.
While Rosalía describes the song itself as “a connection—or an erotic encounter—with another person,” the singer says she wanted the video to have an entirely different feel. “The video [is centered around] a foreign girl in Tokyo who is alone all the time,” she says. “I found that juxtaposition interesting for the visual part.” Of course, in doing so, she couldn’t help but infuse the video with a heavy dose of cool-girl fashion as well.
For the video, Rosalía wanted to capture the special elements that make up Tokyo style—that is, the artful way that locals can combine pieces and patterns in an effortless way. It’s a decidedly different approach to her fashion aesthetic during the “Motomami” era, when she focused on sleek black leathers and moto-inspired looks. “I find inspiration in the freedom of mixing of patterns and colors that happens naturally in Japan,” says Rosalía.
Some of the star’s favorite ensembles from the new video? “The yellow Marni suit was associated with vitality, Vivienne [Westwood]’s corset with eroticism, and Margiela's Tabi [shoes] seemed perfect to me, as they were an element inspired by traditional Japanese Jika-tabi footwear,” says Rosalía As for her favorite one-of-a-kind piece, “I found my Hysteric Glamor t-shirt [while] digging on the Internet on a lucky day,” she says, “and every time I wear it, it makes me happy.
