Rosalía and the Weeknd have teamed up again for a new song 'La Fama', which will be released on November 11. The two artists previously collaborated on a version of the Weeknd's huge hit, 'Blinding Lights'.

'La Fama' is the first single off Rosalía new album, 'Motomami', which the Catalan singer announced last week will be released in 2022.

A 30-second teaser of the new single was posted on social media by Rosalía on Monday, featuring American actor Danny Trejo introducing the song.

Rosalía – who is from Sant Esteve Sesrovires, just outside Barcelona, and studied at the prestigious ESMUC music school – is arguably one of the biggest music stars ever to emerge from Catalonia.

Following the stunning success of 'El Mal Querer' and its daring pop experimentation with flamenco music, Rosalía went on to establish herself as a household name with a string of collaborations featuring some of the biggest music stars in the world, including Bad Bunny, Travis Scott and The Weeknd.

Her collaboration with Billie Eilish, 'Lo vas a olvidar', recently won them the Best Latin MTV Video Music Award.
