“Get ready for some heat,†Danny Trejo says as he queues up the music video. “La Fama!†RosalÃa and the Weeknd have returned with another collaboration, following their Spanish remix of “Blinding Lightsâ€: RosalÃa’s new music video for “La Fama.†Dripping in a glasslike dress, RosalÃa dances seductively in front of the Weeknd, inviting him to dance with her onstage, but when he joins her, she stabs him. The audience erupts in applause as the spotlight shines on RosalÃa’s blood-soaked knife. The Weeknd bleeds to death at her feet. Murder? No biggie. “I wanted to write, in my own way, a bachata with a little story around ambition,†RosalÃa said in a statement translated from Spanish. “Taking as a reference the lyrics of Ruben Blades or Patti Smith and the songs of Aventura, I ended up writing a story of romance with fame.†“La Fama†will feature on RosalÃa’s new album, Motomami, anticipated for release in 2022.
