She kind of took the Enrique Iglesias route and made an album full of current Latin trends.
There's no soul or authenticity in a lot of this that we've come to find in her earlier albums.
This is more of the same just current sounding music that we've been getting for a few albums now. There's no big hit here either.

I thought Chantaje is a big hit (337 million Spotify listens say hello)
I enjoy this album, then again I've always preferred her Spanish albums to English ones.

Given how little promo the album got and how little she seems to care lately, that seems rather high. Nothing surprises me anymore with her.

I really like Shakira and yes, I prefer her Spanish albums but I must say that I was surprised to know 2 weeks ago she has an album coming out because no one seemed to care and I heard no one talking about it OK I was on my road trip thru Italy, but again, I did write on several music forums and ...
Anyway, I like Chantaje but I doubt I will give this album a listen. Seems like she just collected whatever songs she had at hand and ... that's it.
Even in France where she is quite popular she sold only around 5000 albums in 1st week!

Does that selling mean actual copies only or is streaming included?
Because like the success of Chantaje and La Bicicleta demonstrates, she's a huge streaming force (over 2m on Spotify daily with Spanish material)

Yes, without streaming To be exact, she sold 4955 albums
but it is almost 3 times better than 1704 albums sold in UK!

Any success she gets is due to her name alone at this point. We'll still get music because she's willing to work if everyone goes to her in Spain. But, that's about it. Due to her contract she has to release music and tour. That's why she released that album. If it was up to her she'd take a vacation from her career then try to revive it in a decade. She's all about her family now. I'm still a fan of Shakira, the problem is that she gives us close to nothing nowadays.

As a Christina Aguilera fan, I have to say, I feel like Shakira releases music all the time in comparison! :kii:

I'd be happy if she just released singles tbh but i guess with her contract she actually has to release albums. Hope we get a tour soon!

She doesn't even have an English single out and even thought Chantaje did see some success in Europe it is nowhere near the level of being able support a tour 6 months to a year from now

It's a better visual than what they used for the album cover. Not sure what a milk bath has to do with El Dorado, but whatever. It's a fairly aggressive European leg considering she doesn't have a hit there unless they plan to launch an English project later in the year (lol j/k that's not happening)

Wikipedia says her setlist has been revealed?? Judging by the 2018 date posted - it feels fake.
"The following setlist was revealed by Shakira’s production team on October 27, 2018.
Estoy Aquí She Wolf Si Te Vas Nada Perro Fiel Underneath Your Clothes Me Enamoré Inevitable Chantaje Whenever, Wherever Tú Amarillo La Tortura Antología Can’t Remember to Forget You MEDLEY: Loca / Rabiosa MEDLEY: La La La / Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) Toneladas Hips Don’t Lie La Bicicleta"

She's now supposedly, conveniently, sick again. Last time she had to cancel a string of promo performances because she was sick. Another time because Milan was sick. Now with the cancellations the tour is going to start in.... ... Barcelona! Yes, her home town. Rumors are that she canceled the first few shows so she could use her hometown arena as a rehearsal space!

I read the statement, theyre claiming strained vocal chords. Im not saying its fake but if she really does have strained vocal chords, shes going to be cancelling more than one weeks worth of shows.
Hope everybody booked stuff refundable.

On french forum there is some news that the real reason she cancelled is because she has some troubles because od hidden tax or something and she awaits trial or smth I was not very interested to read more carefully, but that is it

Hope everybody booked stuff refundable. Most of her shows are close to soldout. It's all on Shakira. She doesn't feel ready to tour yet. She still wants to be with her family, but she's contractually obligated to tour due to her Live Nation deal.

European tour dates "postponed"...which most likely means cancelled.
