Flamenco singer Estrella Morente publicly criticized Rosalía during a Catalunya Ràdio interview regarding her disappointing participation in the song Lux, feeling slighted by the Sant Esteve Sesrovires artist.

The controversy arose from Morente's statements, where she lamented the minimal artistic weight Rosalía gave to her collaboration and that of Sílvia Pérez Cruz on the track Lux. This situation reduced the involvement of both established artists to a minimal presence.

"Rosalía has not been respectful towards me."

Morente explained that Rosalía initially called her for a duet, but later proposed adding Pérez Cruz, whom Morente "completely admires". The singer accepted enthusiastically, having always defended Rosalía against critics regarding her approach to flamenco, considering her "a friend of the Morente family".
Despite spending several days in the studio and being given "freedom" to create, Morente felt disappointed upon seeing the final result. She regrets that the material she recorded never surfaced, resulting in minimal participation.

"In the end, neither a duet nor a trio. She has punished us."

Morente emphasized that her criticism was not seeking promotion but rather serving as a "warning" to the young artist. She concluded: "The only thing I want is to give her a warning. You don't play around with music."
