I rarely listen to mainstream pop music like this but she got it spot on. Such a shame it wasn't massive.

There WAS something missing from the She Wolf album. I don't know what it was. It was that extra little ingredient which in the past had always made a great song into a great Shakira song. It's still a hell of an album though.

Anybody could have sung half of the She Wolf album, I'd love to see anyone sane cover half of Oral Fixation or Laundry Service and keep their credibility in tact. Those two albums were just 'breaking free from conventions', yet somehow still mainstream, pop music that was completely injected with Shakira's personality. She's one of very few mainstream artists that gets away with being eccentric, we expect to hear tribal chanting and nonsensical lyrics in her songs and we love her for it, what I don't want to hear from Shakira, personally, is a generic urban jam with Lil' Wayne that could have been sung by absolutely anybody. She's not a disposable artist like many are, and Waka Waka proves that the individuality and creativity is most certainly still there, so hopefully the new album will display it like she always has in the past, but to a far lesser extent with a lot of the tracks from the She Wolf era. |

She Wolf and a few others are exceptions, but the other half of the album lacks Shakira magic. Give It Up To Me is the weakest single she's ever released in my opinion, not 'her' at all. |

I like it, but it was the right decision not releasing it in the UK. As for the album, I like it a lot, but it's kind of like someone from the record company told her to make an album of diffrent versions of Timor (from OFv2)...

It was that extra little ingredient which in the past had always made a great song into a great Shakira song. It's still a hell of an album though. I think there's a couple of tracks where you can hear the record label going "record the record this," mainly Gypsy and Long Time. And because the album is only really 9 original songs, that means that there's only 7 songs "Shakira" songs on there, and when her albums are usually 11 brilliant songs, She Wolf didn't quite hit her usual standard. Compared to most other female pop artists though, 7 brilliant tracks on an album is pretty good going. |

At best I can imagine people liking it in a guilty pleasure sort of way because it's so trashy but kind of fun. But in the context of Shakira's back catalogue? Do you have each of her English albums? I'm genuinely interested... |

I've only got the She Wolf album but i have listened to the other two english albums several times. She Wolf is actually by far my favourite Shakira era. She Wolf >>> Whenever Wherever > Give It Up To Me >> Hips Don't Lie > Men In This Town |

Record company politics without a doubt. Although that said I like Gypsy.

I really think if they released She Wolf in June, swiftly moving onto Men In This Town in September/October then the project would have been a lot more successful. Upsetting.
