Having warmed up the masses with buzz cut ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You’, Shakira is turning attention to the cut’s parent album.
Due March 25th, details surrounding the project have been scarce beyond the fact that the likes of Sia and Ne-Yo feature.
The silence ends now, though. For, the Latin superstar has revealed the title of the LP.
Find out what the follow-up to 2009’s ‘She Wolf’ has been christened after the jump…
Writing on Facebook, the 36-year-old confirmed that the project is called…
‘Shakira’
Her explanation below…
“When the time came to put a name to this album…” / “Cuando llegó la hora de buscarle un título a este disco…”
I’m so happy that I will soon be sharing my latest album with you all, something I’ve been working on for over two years now. The work on this album has spanned a very eventful time, with many ups and downs but ultimately, the happiest period in my life thus far, including the birth of my son. I’ve explored many different directions, worked with many different people, and written many, many demos before arriving at the finished product I will soon be presenting to you.
When the time came to put a name to this album, I realized that it’s not exactly a thematic album, though love is and always has been one of my main subjects and sources for inspiration. It’s also not necessarily conceptual, as some of my albums have been in the past.
In the end, what I realized is that throughout the course of creating this body of work, I learned a lot about myself. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, all the directions I began exploring in the initial phases of recording were helping to pave a path for me of rediscovery. In the end I realized that I will always be a little bit of everything and I don’t have to choose. I am sometimes extremely sensitive, sometimes upbeat, others dreamy and romantic, and even at times a little melodramatic. (Call it the Caribbean blood.) But always authentic and always sincere.
Most importantly, I am enough. Imperfections and all. So what I am offering you now is just that.
Shakira.
Nothing more. A little bit of rock, a little bit of folk, a little reggae and naturally some dance–but as always, and above all, a lot of heart.
I hope you enjoy.
Shakira
(The new album, Shakira, is out March 25th)

Inspired by the Queen 🙂
Where’s “I Remembered To Forget This Flop” on the charts?
She’s calling her album “Shakira”?? How original *rolls eyes*
And people deny Ciara’s impact.
Can’t Remember To Forget You is tumbling down the charts faster than Bey when she fell down those stairs in Orlando back in ’07
BEYONCE is NOT the first to put her name as title album. Where do you live???
I hate self-title albums, how can you go from ‘Oral Fixation’ to a banal ‘Shakira’, artists have no inspirations anymore, with the excuse of ‘its a personal album so i called *****’.
Can’t remember to flop has passed xo on iTunes and it’s at #65 …. Waits for the navy excuse cuz they was just claiming this song!!!! Beautiful liar slayed tf out of this mess!!!! Try again navy!!!!
A little bit unoriginal after Britney Jean, Ciara and Beyoncé. Anyway, I’m still very excited!!
If any of the songs sound anything like CRTFY keep your album, Shakira
Shakira babe…I’ll get ur album.eff wat dem haterz say.
shakira two things you need to do
– I need a hot ass video for CRTFY / almost outside the ITUNES TOP 100
– asap a new single / SO I CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN SHAKI
Can’t remember to forget you is flopping harder than all the flop singles from 4. Get it together Shakira.
Oh and Ciara wants her artistry back.
Wait, is XO still flopping?
Ciara’s f****** Impact.
Janet Jackson’s Impact tho
Not really interested on Shakira anymore
No b****@lovebird!!!! XO IS NOT FLOPPING GOT CHECK THE CHARTS GLOBALLY !!!!’
It’s not? What number on the Hot 100 is it then?
CIARA who??
Please stop it since self-titled albums have ALWAYS existed.
Can’t Remember To Forget You has just been released: in the US is not selling but it’s NOT flopping wordwide. Bye
even Beyoncé knows she hasn’t started the self-titled albums LMAO
you are so damn ignorant!
To all you crazy delusional Bey stans…Bey is not the first person to self title an album. Don’t forget to take your meds today and remember to speak English and not Bey-bonics
B**** who is Shaflopkira? We don’t know her in America
It’s amazing how the HIVE wants to pull the Internationl/Global card when XO is flooping hard locally… But when her album sales are flopping hard Internationally/Globally the USA market is all that matters
Get da fcuk out of here wit that b*******…
CRTFY is still a Shakira single which Rihanna is featured on and the video is yet to drop so I won’t be so quick to call it a flop just yet… Shakira aint had a hit in the USA since 2006… Lets see what the visuals can do for the track.
The Monster when to Number 1 without a single performance or before the video dropped. Shakira don’t seem to be so lucky
We also don’t know Ciara.
LOL @ Ciara who
the only b**** who can tribute MJ and Janet in the same year and do it successfully
Janets label contacted to remix feedback
Nicki hailed as an ICON
has written and executive produced ALL her new album material
was paid 3MIL to turn up new years 2011 in DUBAI
but u f**** already know the PRINCESS
😆 your faves steal from her regularly
breathy vocals (check) chin-length dirty blonde bob haircut (check)
2010****
OH & PS COPYING JANET IS A COMPLIMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UR FAVES WISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY BOTH GOT U HAVING MELTDOWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***SINGS DADDY YANKEE FT FERGIE “IMPACTO”****
Woah that Beyhive is one crazy lunatic. Beyoncé is not the first person to have a self-title Album remember in 2013 Ciara was before Beyonce. What’s you point that it was Beyonce that inspired her to self-titled her Album. Have a little Common Sense. Ok.
From The New York Times
“To affiliate yourself with a mainstream artist today is just like the unwavering loyalty that sports teams have, like the Giants or the Celtics,” said David Russell, an artist manager at IE: Music who works with acts like Robbie Williams and Ladyhawke. “The same way that you follow a team despite the players that come and go, fans come on board early for pop stars and remind people of the success he or she had — whether it was 20 minutes ago or 20 years ago.”
This can make competition among stans particularly ugly, but it can also serve as a lifeboat, keeping a troubled performer’s career afloat. The singer Ciara, a former A-list recording artist who fell into a series of problems with her former label, Jive, that resulted in her most-recent album being shelved, might have been forgotten were it not for die-hards going to bat for her day after day on Web sites like That Grape Juice or Popjustice.
“Her stans compare her to Beyoncé or Rihanna, despite the fact that her album shipped something like less than 30,000 units in North America,” Mr. Russell said. “They will continue to drum up anticipation for whatever keeps her relevant, even if it’s just a fashion association,” like the singer’s friendship with Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy.
“Her stans will defend her to the death,” Mr. Russell added. “It’s a little scary.”
Yall saying the BeyHive crazy… hell wasn’t Ciara stans saying that Beyonce copied Ciara because she also had self-titled album.
First, self titled albums have been going on FOREVER… the fact that anybody thinks that someone is copying is ludicrous.
But as usual yall point out the hive. LOL. #TheHiveInfluence …
Let’s leave Beyonce’s critically acclaimed top selling album out of this please.
Funny someone constantly calls the Hive all kinds of names affiliated with stupid but they can’t factor in the fact that Beyonce’s singles were released a week after the album. I’m pretty sure no one was expecting them to do great but here’s some food for thought; DIL is doing great in the US and XO is doing way better globally. Please don’t worry about Beyonce I’m sure she’s good. Worry about your fave you can only seem to win on the hot100
Weren’t the Navy mocking DIL when its sill holding down the charts without any Tweeting, hyping and teasers to build it up.
What happened to that 14th number 1 to snatch beautiful liars wig lmao.
I’m so tired of Artists Using their names for their albums. Same goes for titles like “this is me”, “i am”, blah. So uncreative
How yall gon say shes inspired by Beyonce when Ciara did it first.
Ciara did what first? Have a self titled album? DEATH what next are the C Squad going to try and claim.
I doubt Shaks even knows/cares that Ciara has an album out… Like most of the world.
CICI Impact.
SELF TITLED LP USED TO BE NAMED AFTER A DEBUTE LP IN THE 90S HOWEVER IN THIS ERA IE 2013/14 CIARA SET THE BALL ROLLING AND THEN WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS. YOU CAN BET RIRI NEXT LP IS CALLED RIHANNA. LMFAO
Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and countless others have had “self titled” albums both in the 90”s and 00’s which weren’t their debut albums. Y’all be tryna read with no credentials. Ciara is talented but she ain’t an originator of anything- stop reaching..
WHO IS SHE? OHHHH I GOT IT! SHE HAS A SONG WITH RIHANNA!
Don’t worry about XO.
The album is sitting very pretty at 1.56 million in the states alone you filthy gay. Singles are 1.29!!! Albums are $16. They want the entire record
FILTHY F**
