Shakira - Sale El Sol (new album Oct.19)

[Carlitoz]

from Shakiramedia.com

Shakira has revealed details about her upcoming bilingual album Sale El Sol.



"I'm very excited about the new album, because it reminds me of different eras and stages of my career. It's like a synthesis of all these 20 years," she explained.

The star admitted that the album is very 'personal' and deals with issues such as heartbreak.

"It's been quite interesting to make this album, I've been reconnecting to myself," she said.

Speaking about her most recent LP 'She Wolf', she said that her favorite song was 'Men in this Town', which she was disappointed didn't become a single.

Sale El Sol is due for release this autumn.

According to an admin on her official forum, August will be "explosive" ;)

And now SHAKIRA has morphed into one for her latest video - a Hell's Angel, to be precise.

And I can exclusively reveal my favourite rap Lord DIZZEE RASCAL duets with the Colombian cracker on the track called Loca.

The cheeky Colombian, who I was lucky enough to hang out with at Glasto this summer, turns biker chick in the clip.

Speeding through the streets of Barcelona on the back of a motorbike, clad in skin-tight leathers is a very strong look indeed.

The new song will feature on upcoming Spanish album Sale el Sol.

The English version is rumored to be titled "Hell's Angel"

Is she following the Ke$ha look?

Anyway, I hope her material is stronger this time and gets good promotion. Her latest era was disappointing in terms of commercial success and not her best in terms of material. She said she is somewhat going back to her roots. I'm not really digging the platinum look so much though: it keeps enforcing her "stupid bombshell" image, which I think she needs to step away since she is beyond that...

I strongly agree!! Even though there's this thing that "artists, like butterflies, undergo metamorphosis" (that I understood), she doesn't really need to thrust her chest, swivel her hips or shake her booty every time she performs! I really believe she's beyond that! But listening to her first single/MTV recording that's leaked on Youtube, I don't know if it is premature to say that her Spanish album is like Loba, Volume 2.

She doesn't need to, but does that mean she shouldn't?

[byhookorbycook]

I think this is a democratic forum, where anyone can voice out their opinions, so it's free for me to say that I get tired of looking those movements every now and then when she sings. My friends who also witnessed her career rose started to get tired too, though it's given it is her signature moves, I still prefer her holding the guitar and banging her head a la-Donde Estan Los Ladrones and Don't Bother. Sale El Sol (the song) is a potential, and I hope there some bias on having more rock/alternative-tinged songs in the next album than the usual discotheque/Latin street party type (am an Asian, sorry for the genre-dropping, still not familiar with it) that she was known for (which those hip-swiveling, booty-shaking and chest-thrusting moves are automatically incorporated). That's what I mean with the quoted statement aforementioned.

* Rabiosa
* MARIPOSAS

[kinglouiexviii]

Wow! Loca has a catchy beat, but the lyrics are truly awful. What the hell happened to Shakira?

[byhookorbycook]

I know that Loca and Rabiosa were true compositions of El Cata, and Shakis just hired him to have some revisions in the songs and have him perform those songs as well, just like what she did with Wyclef's "Dance Like This" or popularly known as "Hips Don't Lie"

[byhookorbycook]

Music analysts predict that Sale el Sol could sell around 40-45K on its first week of release in the USA.

[onefrayedrepublic]

Rabiosa and Gordita are quite excellent.

[byhookorbycook]

The album is certified GOLD already in Mexico (30,000 copies sold). Latin albums released in Mexico could easily reach the GOLD certification in less than a week after its official release, maybe because of pre-selling.
