At the same time, no Ozuna and now Rauw in the credits so we won!

Sad that she has lost her artistry lately. She used to have beautiful covers like the ones for the Oral Fixation albums. Only 8 new songs LOL. Half the album we've already heard and are boring generic reggaeton trap beats. Love her and her music to death and will still listen but the quality has been lacking for a while now. Most of her careers have actually been pretty basic so idk what yall are on about lol copa vacia and tqg are the only generic reggaeton songs we got what are you even on about lol 3 hours ago, Ger.vaz said: I'd rather house, electro pop Oh how I'd love this 2 hours ago, bruninho said: Are you aware that Oral Fixation had only 7 new songs when it came out? The rest were the previously released singles, english versions of the previous album and HDL were added later? She Wolf: 9 new songs Fijacion Oral: 9 new songs And to be honest, her only artistic covers were Fijacion Oral / Oral Fixation lol I need her **** to leak at this point cause it's crazy how dry and little we have to show for a career that expands over 4 decades 2 hours ago, Ivan_brit said: Finally!!! The tittle it’s fine The covers also grey but a little bit look like fan made… did Milan design them Anyway Im exited, what songs are included from last year & 2022??

I know it helps the numbers but this is El Dorado 2.0. I will be surprised if she manages to make this cohesive. Might as well go ahead and call the album "This is Shakira". What were you expecting for her to keep her biggest hits homeless? 8 hours ago, Giancor said: So, apparently track #1 shares the same credits as track #17. This suggests that we might have a translation or a remix of track #1.

Once you flop, it's just over... you never hit the same numbers again. Latinos don't care about rock anymore. Karol G and Rosalía would surpass her in terms of success, and I'm not here for that, lol. This era, even if it's a bit "generic," has helped her maintain her status as the most prominent female Spanish singer on the planet. It serves as a clapback to Gerard Piqué and his cheating. The era is already a victory. I hope her next one comes faster. I hope it's a bilingual album. I hope living in the States inspires her. I hope the next one is more focused on the Anglo market. Shakira needs to take less time recording albums. She needs to work with other writers and producers. Switch things up and hop on other people's songs and work with more females. Shakira has "underperformed" (for her standards) and still manages to come back out on top time and time again. She almost always literally ends up triumphant no matter what. She is universally loved so their isn't anyone on this planet that wouldn't want to work with her. Like their is no reason why that at this point she hasn't worked with the likes of Rosalia, The Weeknd, Drake, Becky G, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Thalia, Daddy Yankee, Coldplay, Romeo Santos, Bad Bunny, Emilia, JLo, Gwen Stefani, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Anitta, Selena Gomez, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Nelly Furtado, Kali Uchis like girl realize your power! 8 hours ago, EtherealCat said: being realistic karol is way bigger than her and i doubt this is seeing motomamis first week streams either, its arts not charts time Lmfaooo Karol G is just a cute girl for now but you cannot compare the popularity impact success and influence like at all. Shakira is a global phenomenon. Karol is not. Shakira will easily do better than Motocualquiera

It is sad that you are right, basically generic stuff following currents trends and doing tiktok songs without any artistic value or longevity is what most of the music scene is about.

Look at Madonna, she is the most successful pop singer of all times, and up until Hard Candy which was 25 into her career she was creating trends and didn't do generic songs. Look at Britney, bubble gum pop was not IT until she made it big and literally become a template for all "pop princesses" which came afterwards. And the list goes on. I just find it sad that artists with decades of history of making great music will loose their identity just for sake of streams. 3 1
GeeDuval Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) Can ya stop complaining? I honestly don’t see Shakira putting out another laundry service oral fixation donde están los ladrones? Body of work until is time for retirement. guaranteed if she was to put out a cohesive body of work under pop/rock elements she will fail miserably. She’s done what she had to do and let’s be honest she finally has competition. For years she was competing against men. All she had was Paulina Rubio and Thalia, but she’s always been on a league of her own. Now with the Rosalia’s, Karol’s and so many others, obviously she has to keep up with what is hot, now working with new younger producers and engineers. She’s doing what ya been complaining about for years!!!! who understands y'all??? not only that, BUT you can clearly see SONY LATIN is investing more on her projects than RCA so of course she’s gonna lean on SONY LATIN to support her creative ideas even if she has to keep helping c listers new artists.

Since the credits of the unknown tracks were posted and their names are not there, that's why I said "we won". I actually love both Te Felicito and Monotonia but I don't want any more collabs. And yes the feature could be kept secret but it is still weird not seeing Cardi in the credits. Do they usually "hide" songwriting credits? They should've made this a cover! She looks amazing Edited February 16 by rta1913 5

Jaye Posted February 16 Posted February 16 9 minutes ago, GeeDuval said: That’s for the deluxe version I bet, or not her team is always hit or miss LOL we been knew. At the root of it all Shaki is still a cheesy ole mom at heart. But given the effort that is supposedly being put into this era it seems like she at least stepped her game up, even just a little bit. Especially if she was really attending concert for production ideas and inspiration like she said she was doing at the Renaissance tour. She better go set up a lunch with Beyonce and catch up and get some advice. Maybe this tour will actually have a full background dancer production and such unlike the last one.
Lorelei Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) The fans breaking their heels to justify the continuous lack of quality and half assed material by caring for "success" is actually funny. She could release as many underperformances as she pleased if the stuff was GOOD. She's been in the industry for 30+ years and she's at a point where she can do whatever she wants; if she had any artistic drive there would be better songs as well, not just this incessant need to appeal to the youth and cater to trends. She's the biggest Latin artist out there, she can afford to put out as many albums as she wants without caring about failure as if she's an 18 y.o newcomer who's still trying to break into the market. If she wanted she could be delivering art, point blank period. She's basically entering her legacy era and she releases 5 year old songs that don't last beyond 3 minutes for Tik Tok replay value and calls it a day for another 6 years. There's absolutely no reason this album needed to be released after nearly a decade, since the material isn't newly recorded. Look at Beyonce putting out whatever she wants because she has a certain goal with the music, flop or not, all through her own company, her own money invested. Even freaking J.Lo who's been missing from the charts for over 13 years invested 20 million from her own pocket to make an entire movie for her fans, plus a live show, plus a tour that will certainly have more thought and production than whatever Shak will come up with. Shakira has been having an identity crisis for years now and it's showing in the music with each album cycle essentially, by collaborating with countless producers for each song individually and the end result being uncohesive , made specifically for the streams. Being a willful label puppet in promoting upcoming Latin artists only adds to the equation. It's just disappointing as a whole. 4 hours ago, mike_int said: being pop star doesnt mean you have to do generic songs and follow trends, being popstar can also mean to create trends.

Because we as we know they always use her to promote up and coming latin artists but what strikes me is when in some interview she said she's trying to balance being a present mom while also "having to make money." It makes me think if in her mind she feels like she needs to be doing all this to continue to have a continuous stream of income and not rely on residuals and such from her past bodies of work for some fear of not being able to maintain a life for her kids in the present while also worrying about being able to leave them well off when she stops making music. Which I know to us sounds ridiculous because we assume she's loaded, but there may be some thought in her mind that she needs to keep up with the times for the sake of her kids. Idk.

Jaimon Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Artistically I think she put so much effort during the Fijacion Oral/ Oral Fixation era and it didn't go how she wanted so now she only does it for fun.
