Rosalía has set a new record!

The "La Fama" performer's new album Lux achieved a historic best debut in the first 24 hours with 42.1 million streams. It became the most-streamed album by a female, Spanish speaking artist.

Lux, the Spanish singer's fourth studio album, was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daníel Bjarnason and features feminine voices including Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, Yahritza and the Escolania de Montserrat i Cor Cambra Palau de la Música Catalana, and Yves Tumor.

Ahead of the album's release, Rosalía, 33, spoke to Apple Music's Zane Lowe on Wednesday, Nov. 5 about how her older sister Pili — who's her stylist and creative director — inspired her to challenge herself on Lux.

"There was something that my sister said that stuck with me when I played Motomami for her," she said, referring to her third studio LP.

After playing her the album in the car, her sister "pointed out this kind of musical tourette or something and said, 'Why do you have to destroy the song always?'"

At the time, the "Berghain" musician — whose full name is Rosalía Vila Tobella — said she was "hurt" and shocked by what her sister said.

"I was like, 'What are you talking about?' And I started fighting her," said Rosalía, noting that she told her sister that it "makes sense." According to her, the music had a sense of "disruption."

Pili's comment ultimately stuck with her and inspired her to dig deeper into why she makes music.

"I make music for people to feel, right? And maybe they're going to feel the most if I really go all the way," the two-time Grammy winner said. "Maybe I'm not allowing myself to go all the way. Maybe I'm writing songs, but I'm not finishing the thought."

Rosalía then promised herself that she "was going to make an album where I was going to at least try to finish the thought."

"And I think that in this album [Lux], it allowed me to grow as a writer and as an arranger and as a producer because of that, because of going all the way and not trying to just break the song here and there. No, this is the thought, how far I can go with this thought," she said.

Lux is out now via Columbia Records.
