Shakira

Hmmm.

This had better not be a single. I've been worried since I heard the Pharrell news and the Timbaland rumours that she was going too R&B for my liking. I have a horrible fear that her next album will end up like a Latin version of Hard Candy.

An album full of Spanish Lessons? I would actually like that...

I've said this once, and I'll say it a billion times more, Shakira should go back to her Latin Alanis roots, back in the good old days when she performed belting anthems on stage with a guitar. Timor was the closest she's got to that in a long time. I'm sure she can replicate that early success in English language tracks.

The only thing I don't like about her is that she launches her albums with a danceable swinging track and then all of sudden there comes this string of rock ballads (Which is the whole album)...

In my book, that's called: decieving!

HAHAHA, I was just about to say the same thing. I hate that too. If you're gonna market yourself as a dance/pop artist, then atleast release a dance/pop album once in your life.

I've been listening to shakira since 1996 or whenever,,, and i'm glad she is over that alanis phase. She gained some identity when she started moving her ass...
I think she should go in "Las de la intuición" direction.

I don't mean to be one of those people, but she hasn't been as interesting since breaking into the US market. Mostly because of the aforementioned Alanis phase and the general all-over-the-placeness of her albums and image.

That said, her Spanish greatest hits, Grandes Exitos, is seriously one of my favorite discs ever, so she definitely has the wherewithall and talent to woo me back. I actually reaaaally liked La Tortura, and Hips Don't Lie was good until it was overplayed like no other song I have heard in my life.

Plus she's smart and sexy and you can't not appreciate the rare concurrence of the two.

It's a year old demo and won't be on the album. The first single will come in June.

Who wants to BET on the first single being produced by RedOne since she worked with him
