"Your Embrace" is a flawless song on Oral Fixation 2. I love her low-key ballads; such as this and "Lo Que Mas" on Sale el Sol I love "Dreams For Plans." That song should have been a single. "En Tus Pupilas" is my favorite Shakira song :) That's "Something" in English right? LOVE that one!

Live Nation is taking down all the "Truth or Dare" videos on youtube. Hmmm, something is up. They wouldn't randomly do that all of a sudden for no reason.

She's doing a mini concert tomorrow for Tmobile in NYC. I thought it would just be her hits, but look at this: Rehearsal Pic: Truth Or Dare: The stage:

Looks like the upcoming era will have Tmobile & Crest for promo. Shakira has partnered with T-Mobile!www.businessweek.com/news/2013-10-09/t-mobile-enlists-shakira-as-it-challenges-peers-with-global-plan Music star and Grammy winner Shakira will help with T-Mobile’s marketing campaign under a multi-year partnership agreement, the carrier also said. Sharing Music “Today is all about bringing the world closer together,” Shakira said in the statement. “I’m excited to partner with T-Mobile and look forward to being able to share my music in new and innovative ways.” Enlisting Shakira mirrors the strategy of BlackBerry Ltd., which hired singer Alicia Keys as its global creative director, a new title. As part of the agreement, T-Mobile said it will support Shakira’s future music releases and host special “fan engagement activities.”

Whenever, Wherever will be used in Tmobile commercials. The song was also used 10 years ago in a Sunsilk commercial featuring Marilyn Monroe & Madonna:

Official: Tmobile deal / Crest deal Album out in early 2014 (from Shakira's mouth) Single out in Nov (said by her manger at the Tmobile concert) with the date highly rumored to be between Nov 18-30.
The exciting part is that she's going to have major companies backing her up. During the debut time, we'll get her in Tmobile and Crest ads, keeping her image fresh in people's minds. That, along with promo should give the song a very big spotlight. Hopefully its a hot song because the song will get heavy promo early on.

Nov 18th? That's so...messy. Singles need time to catch on and build on radio, at least two months. They BETTER be taking advantage of the holidays if they plan on releasing a single this year or else releasing in January is pretty much suicide.

If the rumors are true, she'll be performing the song on various Christmas shows. The first performance will be on the Voice finale.

The bigger issue is that it's going to radio right before stations start going into their holiday freeze.

They planned this all around her schedule. She's going to be in LA for the next few weeks shooting the blind auditions for season 6 of the voice. Since she'll be in LA, she can do lots of promo for the single when its released. They plan to release a few singles, then she'll do season 6. After S6 she's releasing her Spanish album and then going on tour. Releasing a single in Jan most likely wouldn't fit into her schedule. So, let's hope the single survives the holiday freeze because she most likely can't wait till Jan.
A performance on Dec 9 on the Voice is pretty much confirmed. She's listed on their website. Hopefully the heavy early promo is enough to build a hit that survives the holiday freeze.

Yeah, but it will depend on how the songs perform. If the English album is producing hits, they will likely release a few singles. If it underperforms, they most likely will move on to the Spanish album much quicker. The plan is for the tour to start when Season 6 of the voice finishes.
One thing that does worry me though is the way Shakira has been dressing lately. Shakira's era's always have a theme. The way she dresses usually matches the sound of the single. I love her current rocker look, but, does that mean her lead single will be a rock song in English? I'd love that, BUT, will the general public in the US embrace Shakira the rocker? It's pretty risky. I'd be more comfortable with a dance song.

I disagree. I think a rock song or a non-EDM song would be a smarter move from her.

She's currently on the cover of Cosmopolitan (Latin American Edition). In the interview she says: ..."I'm coming back to something simpler and purer, as when I started my career, and I'm enjoying. A birth and a rebirth!"She started her career doing rock music. I'm guessing she's most likely going to release a rock sounding album.

I think a stripped down sound like the fun./Jeff Bhasker one could work for her. Still energetic, but sounding contemporary. I'd rather take that than the type of "rock" sound she delivered on OF2.

Given the producers she's worked with, we are not going to be getting OF2 again. Besides, Shakira does not like to repeat herself. She likes for each of her studio albums to sound different. I'm guessing it will likely be rock sounding, but she'll likely mix various genres like she normally does. She might even mix EDM & rock, or as someone mentioned rock & country. We'll see what she comes up with.
Shakira can be pretty predictable. During the She Wolf era, when asked what her favorite music was, she said EDM. At the time, she was into that. On Sunday, she was asked at the voice tapings what was her #1 artist on her ipod. She said "Greenday." Its pretty obvious now she's going rock on us again.
Another hint, during the recording time, she sang a snippet of "Somebody that I used to know" and "We are young."
Go to 1:44 (Somebody that I used to know) & 2:35 (We Are Young). That might be the sound she's going for.
