I’m so happy that I will soon be sharing my latest album with you all, something I’ve been working on for over two years now. The work on this album has spanned a very eventful time, with many ups and downs but ultimately, the happiest period in my life thus far, including the birth of my son. I’ve explored many different directions, worked with many different people, and written many, many demos before arriving at the finished product I will soon be presenting to you.
When the time came to put a name to this album, I realized that it’s not exactly a thematic album, though love is and always has been one of my main subjects and sources for inspiration. It’s also not necessarily conceptual, as some of my albums have been in the past.
In the end, what I realized is that throughout the course of creating this body of work, I learned a lot about myself. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, all the directions I began exploring in the initial phases of recording were helping to pave a path for me of rediscovery. In the end I realized that I will always be a little bit of everything and I don’t have to choose. I am sometimes extremely sensitive, sometimes upbeat, others dreamy and romantic, and even at times a little melodramatic. (Call it the Caribbean blood.) But always authentic and always sincere.
Most importantly, I am enough. Imperfections and all. So what I am offering you now is just that.
Shakira.
Nothing more. A little bit of rock, a little bit of folk, a little reggae and naturally some dance--but as always, and above all, a lot of heart.
I hope you enjoy.
Shakira
(The new album, Shakira, is out March 25th)
We're excited to announce that Shak's teaming up with Target for the Deluxe Edition of her new album, Shakira (out March 25)! Here's the artwork for the Deluxe Edition!
"You already got a little taste of what’s to come on Shakira’s upcoming self-titled album when she released her sultry duet featuring Rihanna, “Can’t Remember to Forget You.” We’ve been listening to it on repeat ever since and we assure you that’s not the only big collab she’s serving up.
The award-winning singer is also teaming up with Target for her tenth studio album, and will be the brand’s first major artist partnership of 2014.
Available at Target.com for pre-order on Jan. 26, Target’s exclusive deluxe edition of Shakira’s album hits stores on March 25 and features three bonus tracks.
“There were three special songs I recorded for ‘Shakira’ that I decided to save for the version of the album available only at Target,” said Shakira.
Shakira fans can get a taste of the partnership with Target’s broadcast commercial (look out for the signature red Target mic!) to kick off exclusive album pre-orders, which debuts during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards® on CBS on Sun., Jan. 26.
Directed by Marc Klasfeld, the Target commercial was shot this winter in a centuries-old church in a small town outside of Barcelona, Spain. Without the benefit of a modern heating system, the well-bundled crew appreciated the “heat” from Shakira’s powerhouse voice and signature dance moves — including hip shaking, of course."
