Shakira sat down for in interview with Youtube to discuss her upcoming new album which hits stores in September. The world class performer spoke about the record at length and revealed that it will entail a mixture of elements – Rock, Latin and Caribbean music – from her 15 year career. Check out what Shakira had to say about the project below:
People often underestimate the worldwide force that is Shakira. She is one of the most unique artist on the music scene today and she connects to a wide array of fans. Despite the relatively mediocre sales of her last album, ‘She Wolf’, Shakira can easily outshine her competition once she makes music that reflects who she is as an artist instead of buying into trends like she did on that LP. If ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’ is any indication of her presence in the industry, then her time at the top is far from over.

Rihanna is a billy goat and Shakira isn’t? LMAO, I think the 2 have different beautiful voices but you know you are wrong when you throw shade at Rihanna voice and you don’t say anything about Shakiras.
Anyway, I love Waka Waka but I don’t like much of her work, the thing I love about her is the fact that she is a big philanthropist and donors so much, such a beautiful lady inside and outside
I love Shakira. I admit she did feed into the current trends of music. Her last album She Wolf wasn’t a commercial success, yet it was still a good effort. I am looking forward to her next LP. Let’s go Shakira!! Waka Waka!!!
SHE’S SHORT AS F*** LIKE 5FT 2INC. JUST CANT GET INTO HER. SHE CANT DO ANY MUSIK VIDS WITHOUT SHOWING OFF HER BODY. WHAT SHE GONNA DO 10YRS FROM NOW WHEN SHE FLABBY?? OH THAT’S RIGHT… OUT OF MUSIK!
okay first of all u dnt need to worry about that bcuz shakira sets her own trends and shes prolly qonna have millions when she retires that she wont need to sell musik jerK! as to end shakira is famous ur not thats the end of it.
@LAST BOY ON EARTH
STFU!! THAT B**** NAME ON EVERY POST!!
Shakira is the s***, & even if she was following trends, “She Wolf” was the shiit!, people just didn’t get into it. Can’t wait till this album releases. I will so have it.
I love this interview! But, “Waving Flag” by K’Naan should have been the FIFA official world cup song.
I watched this b**** at glastonboury, she SOUNDED like a goat being r**** by an elephant my sweeties.

Just adore this girl and have done since I was a kid. OK the last album wasn’t like a real success but it still sold like 1.5 million, so it was only a flop for her – lots of artists would love to sell that many. Love her music and her personality. Like the way she dances – makes a difference from the normal dance style most people use. Can’t wait to hear her new stuff.

@EXPOSED
What are you on about – you can’t get into a girl’s music because she’s short??? As for showing her body off – what videos have you been watching, Shakira wears more clothes in her videos than practically anyone else around.

@DANBOFFICIAL
Rihanna 12 million sold
Christina 42 million sold
Shakira 50 million sold
By constantly calling others failures you do nothing to build up Xtina or RiRi. If they’re only supposed to be better than other artists who you think are cr*p, then how good does that make them sound?
Nice interview. Shakira is such a great artist.
She always bring something new in the music, dance, look…what I like the most is that she’s good at mixing different element of world culture.
That’s why she’s global and has so many fans around the world.
She wolf album is a solid effort, and “She Wolf” single was a international hit.
Stop comparing artist! Shakira and artists like Rihanna are not on the same league.
Shakira sings, writes songs, produces, creates her own choreography…
Can’t wait for her new album. I watched an interview of Jim Jonsin (Producer of Sweet dreams Beyoncé, Lollipop Lil’wayne…)on R***** and he said that they worked together for a new album. Interesting.
Shakira is too cute. Only song of hers I like is that Spanish song she did with that dude, La Tortura. Even though I don’t understand a word of it, it’s such a tune.
@ALEXANDERTG
sales or no sales she still sounds like a goat being r****/sacraficed by a horse demon sweetie.

Exactly what feature of Shakira’s voice reminds you of a goat? What is she doing with her voice that RiRi isn’t? Don’t get me wrong I love both of them. I don’t think either of them sounds remotely goatlike, but I can’t see how saying Shakira does helps stop people claiming the same about RiRi
The point I made about the sales wasn’t to put a downer on anyone. The point is although Shakira has sold more than Xtina and has more awards than her etc etc and even though I love them both to me its obvious that Xtina has the better voice and more interesting tracks. Do you see where I’m coming from? – I think she’s better than people who I think are great and although I’m not doing it for this reason that gives her more credit than just saying she’s better than people who are no-hope losers.
I really like Shakira, I’ve followed her since her beginning in the music scene. It’s a pity people now can just know her because of her moves and her music videos.
I advice you all to listen to her music before her “blond age”. She made a really big change in order to get massive appeal and to get success among big markets like UK and US.
We Spanish talking people will always remind her because of her great, and different, voice, and because of her amazing lyrics. She lost both things when beginning to sing in English.
haha and she knows french too! cool
@SPANIARD R&B LOVER
Do you mean she lost something permanently when she started singing in English? – or just that her voice is way better in Spanish. If you mean the second I agree with you – anyone can compare ‘Whenever, Wherever’ with ‘Suerte’ and hear the difference straight away. Her voice is way stronger in Spanish, and much sexier so my BF says (OK – and so I say too).
Indeed, AlexanderTG. Her voice is way better in Spanish.
But I don’t think it’s just a matter of voice but also a matter of the type of songs she sings in English. Don’t forget she used to write her own lyrics when she sang in Spanish, and now she doesn’t. English isn’t her mother tongue, and that affects her.
She has evolved from a Latin/rock strong female singer into a stupid blondie female dancer, who also (tries to) sing. She has switched voice and lyrics in favor of looks and moves.
I hope she has earned tons of money by making this change.

Unfortunately I can’t speak Spanish 🙁 What about the songs on Fijación Oral – are they different lyrically from her early Spanish songs? Is there a place on the web where her Spanish songs are translated into English?
THESE R MY PICS U QUEEN I WUD LET U GO ON MY FB BUT KNOWIN U, U’D PROB JERK OFF 2 MY PICS U WIERDO!!!!!!!!!
=================================================================

Laundry Service was the beginning of her change.
Oral Fixation/ Fijación oral was her fist attemp of getting global appeal collaborating with artists like Alejandro Sanz, Gustavo Cerati, Carlos Santana, Wyclef Jean… and approaching to a more “pure pop” audience (and even trying the “reggeaton” route).
IMHO, she lost musical strength. Fijación oral could still have her lyrical depth… but I’m almost sure she hasn’t been really involved in the making of the English version of her songs.
I’m sorry, but I don’t know if there’s any website where you could find an English translation to all her Spanish songs :/
*WAKA, WAKA, *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH*, *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH*
someone has jealousy and hatred…sweetie

Some of you sound like fools. She-Wolf wasn’t her strongest effort and it was still an International hit. Shakira is still the biggest Pop star in Latin America. She’s such a great talent. I love how she always reinvents herself. There’s always something new with her. She is a true artist. She is dedicated and knows what she wants. I love how she explained her next project. Can’t say the same for most of your favorites. Most of them do exactly what they are told and are puppets. Shakira knows what she wants and goes in the direction she chooses. While some of you may not be into her music you have to remember she is an International artist. She has fans all over the world to please. I can’t wait for this new album. Go Shaki!!!
I’ve always admired Shakira and i still do. I’ve been folliwing her career since 1994… You can see how hard she has worked to be where she is today, she’s a stong person and she can bit anyone! I’ve had the pleaser to meet her personaly and she is the sweetest person on earth! Congratulations my friend, for everything!
shakira’s new album is called “sale el soL/the sun rises” and is going to be bilingual like LAUNDRY service… its all her eras in one! OMG!!!!
Shakira, can you do a video without showing not even a little bit of your skin?
i don’t think so, because that is a good distraction not to hear you horrible voice!!!!
b**** i bet u cant even show skin coz of urrrr ugly body and raspy hoarse voice/
Yea, keep saying she sounds like a goat, u tin eared bizach. Download “mi gordita” or “Sal el sol” both live, both NEW. Then c** bak here and tell us how she can’t sing. Ok, so maybe she sold out a little with her lyrics, but hold-tha-fuq-up, “under my umbrella, Ella Ella ey ey” etc etc……STFU……sweety. Ugh, get a life, and perhaps a job so u can buy urself a hearing aid, tone deaf mutant.
Rhianna v Shakira??? Well if u like taky pieces of larged assed Barbadian trash…….F me, how can you even….I mean……Seriously…..
And one more thing, “hay amores” “la despedida” y ” Si tu no vuelves” con Michelle Bose…….look into em, some of her absolute best (and she has said la despedida is one of her favourites)
Adios,
I LOVE SHAKIRA !!!!! 🙂 XD she dont even sound like a goat ….. IF U HATIN….
THEN LETS BOX !!! …. shakira is tha best and u haters out there …. she can beat ur mama up ….. SO …WHAT !!
and stop saying s*** !!! before i go over there and beat u …… XD
Personally, I like how she sings in Spanish cuz her voice is softer but when she hits the high notes her voice becomes powerful and in English her pitch is but loses the raw power and intensity like if you listen to ” No” and “La despedida ” you can tell
She Wolf was Shakira’s absolute best album in my opinion. For heaven sakes, I waited a year for it. They just kept pushing it back… Anyway I hope everyone’s right. I hope this new album is bilingual because I can’t speak Spanish. I mean, I’m in the process of learning, but I won’t learn it all in a month. Anyway have all her albums and can’t wait for the perfume. OMG Shakira is perfecto. Love it when she shakes those hips.
“Cuz my hips don’t lie, and I’m starting to feel it’s right. GIVE IT UP TO ME!”
love you shakira
