Think I need to work on this some more but don't know whether I'll have the time: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/pudsack/laroux2.png

I thought Dog Days was top 20 on iTunes, how did it only reach #89 :o

I don't think we're going to hear much else until 29th June. Radio adds date in America is 21st July.

Well, I have a few problems with this. Firstly, the lyrics: What's she trying to say? That black girls are automatically presumed to be making "urban" music? Well there's plenty of black girls out there making music just like this - like someone already mentioned, Jamelia for one! The line that gets me the most is the bit about "bet you didn't think that I could do this too" like we're all that racist. Anyway, Remi Nicole already did this on Rock N Roll and at least she kinda had an excuse because she was making "rock" music (I'm using that term very loosely). Secondly, the Echo Beach sample is just a bit too prominent - if it wasn't relied on so heavily the song would be better but I just get the impression the song would be absolutely nothing without it. Saying all this, I think she has a lot of potential. I like her voice and I think if her other songs don't rely on samples like this then they'll sound pretty good. So I'll get over my quarms and just enjoy the song, because it's not actually that bad.

I loved One Word until I found out it was a Visage cover/sample...the original $h!ts all over Osbourne.

Some more official looking artwork coming through: http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp354/d...shaki/Loba1.gif And check out the site: http://lalobaestacerca.com/ Looks pretty cool! June 29th is too far away though!

Anyone that says this isn't the perfect single is crazy.

Can't wait to hear it. It sounds like Folklore but amped.

Gonna vote early this week in case I don't get chance again this weekend. G = 10 N I H A M L F D J = 1

The second "official" she-wolf attack vid: hQXVIFCbXxg This one's quite cool.

Youtubed version of clip: eK9vvPB0fdo I hate to judge from just 15 seconds but I'm worried I'm not gonna like this. The production sounds quite cheap so far...maybe my mind will change when I hear the full thing.

I think this could be an American flop, European/Rest o' World smash. Just my early cynicism.

I'm in work reading that review and I've gone from being in a foul mood to in a great mood. I JUST CAN'T WAIT NOW.

Thanks to Dave for compiling these sightings: 1 HyHLN0SCy0g 2 Y-dnStMgghE 3 3lwMmxa4nMQ 4 e4IWI2iwT1c 5 TMzeiztbIQY 6 T66_gi0zQaw 7 d9hDVSFR7xI Looks like the idea is for fans to get involve and make their own. Popjustice had this to say: http://popjustice.com/images/stories/j/shakirashewolf.jpg Shakira's new single 'She Wolf' sees the singer spinning off in something of a new direction; to get things moving there's a great (mental) viral thing at shewolfiscoming.com and youtube.com/shewolfhunter and shewolfiscoming. It's early days in the promotion of the first single but already more interesting than an entire Script album campaign.

Yeah, I don't think her blog post was about how the EP did. It actually went top 100 on the itunes album chart anyway, so not a complete "flop" (don't like to use that word) for something that hasn't really had much promotion in terms of radio and tv.

Some of the people that were on the set have said that the song in viral clip isn't She Wolf. "@kl_ellis It doesn't sound like it. Who knows because it is a rough instrumental but I don't think so." There's more She Wolf sighting videos appearing now...maybe the idea is for everyone to start posting their own videos.

Latest from twitter is that the clip played in that video isn't the song. No one's actually confirmed yet whether the viral marketing is for Shakira. It looks like it though. I hope this song lives up to its title!

From a facebook event apparently set up by someone from Sony: What do you think of the title? I like it...it seems like there will be a running theme with this album.

Thanks to the original poster:

"Shakira" updated "her" twitter confirming Jake Nava as the director. Lots of inverted commas because there's no confirmation that this is actually her official twitter although it seems more credible than her last fake one. http://twitter.com/shakira

The video is too Hot & Shaki looks great, i love this song, it will be the SonG of the Year. I can tell you more... Bless http://twitter.com/Gelieppe

One post I read said something along the lines of "it's like nothing she's ever done before." I'm hoping for something with big beats but not reggaeton.

Lots of sites have been confirming this as the new title but the most reliable source is the amount of Twitter posts from extras on the video set. So they're currently on day 3 of the video shoot. Hopefully more information about the song soon! If you've got any news about the song or video, please post it in here for now. There's lots of stuff I've not posted cuz there's so much information leaking at the moment so please post as much as you can :D

Simplify from the EP - love this song. uSDoReJi05k
