Rosalía, the Barcelona-based flamenco and pop crossover sensation has released a new music video project entitled “Fucking Money Man,” which combines two of her songs “Milionària” and “Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero.” This latest video is directed by Bàrbara Farré, a Barcelona music video director, who made a preview for this year’s 2019 Primavera Sound line-up.
Both of the song titles in English are entitled “Millionaire(in this case, a female millionaire)” and “God Saves Us From Money.” During the first part of the video, during the upbeat, and Latin pop flavored “Milionària,” Rosalía is shown to be taking part of a low-budget TV game show, which ends with a shot of the set showing a sign that says “Quemando Dinero, which means “Burning Money.” During the “Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero,” portion on the video, the low-budget aesthetic remains while the singer is shown crooning a dark experimental flamenco track, over some darker visuals, featuring the singer in a traditional Spanish singer outfit.
According to Stereogum, the artist advertised the music video by taking out a full-page ad in the Spanish based national newspaper, El País. This advertisement was later promoted and shown on the singer’s social media accounts as well.

Attention toward the new video has been moderately well-received. On the same day this video was uploaded, it received over 1.6 million views, which is a strong performance for the artist for a single day. In addition to this latest release, the artist has worked on “Aute Cuture” and “Con Altura” with Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin, and the For The Throne, a compilation of songs inspired by HBO’s Game Of Thrones television series.
In addition, the singer also collaborated with UK producer and singer-songwriter James Blake, on the song “Barefoot In The Park.” A music video featuring the two shows them reuniting and singing to each other in the same place where their music video characters held a car crash, albeit several years later.
Earlier this year the performer held a concert at Webster Hall in New York City.
