Power Couple Rosalía and Rauw Alejadro Detail Their Special Music Collaboration Process

Rosaliá and Rauw Alejandro recently dropped their highly anticipated collaborative EP, RR. While it may seem almost expected for musicians who date to collab at some point, it turns out, Rosalía and Rauw were waiting for the perfect moment to do so.

"We wanted to make our relationship solid and build its foundations, and then, if music was meant to come, it would come," Rosalía told Billboard in a joint interview with Rauw.

Ruaw added, "Plus, we were in different stages in our careers, and we wanted to make our fans focus on what we were doing, which was our individual projects. People love drama in the entertainment world, and a romantic relationship will always take precedence. We felt if ours came to light, the effort we've both done toward our projects and our music would come second."

As a couple, both musicians support each other in more ways than one. "We watch each other's backs. At a visual, stage level, we share ideas; also styling, outfits," Rauw explained. "We're two individual, independent artists, but we’re a couple. And we kind of represent each other mutually. If I’m going to go out there and do something crazy, I sometimes think, 'Heck, no: I’m Rosalía's boyfriend.' I need to raise the bar, understand? We're taking care of our prestige and our work and ensuring it always looks the part. We motivate each other to keep rising to an infinite level."
