So for what feels like the past FOREVER and a half, this girlie seems to have dropped of the face of the earth only to come back part wolf?
Our girl Shakira comes back into the public eye with a new single named “La Loba” (or for those who don’t speak Spanish like Baxter, Ron Burgundy’s cutie sidekick, “She Wolf”). When I first started listening to this track I had a hard time believing that it was actually her, but as soon as the main vocals kick in it’s pretty clear. If you’re curious, yes, she’s still got the trademark “I’ve got something big lodged in my throat and I’ma sing around it” sound.
The track is catchy, and as per usual is offered in English and Español. Luckily, unlike some Spango to Engo songs, this song translates fairly well. ”I’m starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office…” — Girl, tell me about it, you and at least a good handful of girls I went to high school with (laugh out-freaking-loud).
While I feel like this track has nothing on some of her past jam-a-ramas (like La Tortura — so fantastico), it’s still got a little zippy something to it. Give it a listen, see what you think, it’s a little plain and isn’t a personal favourite, but is worth a peek just the same. This girlie is definitely Miss Goshinmon APPROVED.
OH AND, before I forget, another little tid-bit about homegirl is that for her third studio English album she’s collabing with Pharrell. THAT’S CORRECT, y’heard me. Dig it. My fingers are quadruple crossed that this duo doesn’t dissapoint. Hopes are high, and until I hear a reason to bring them back down to middle ground, I’ma keep em’ up there. Stay tuned!
