She Wolf Review – IndieLondon
Review by Jack Foley product IndieLondon Rating: 3 out of 5 AS POP records go, Shakira’s She Wolf boasts more curiosity value than most. While not particularly earth-shattering in terms of beats and melodies, it is at least prepared to try something different which, in turn, establishes Shakira as something of an independent spirit working within the mainstream. Vocally, she’s a powerhouse… flitting between the Latin passion of Nelly Furtado, the Corrs-like warbling of Andrea Corr, and the... (more...)
Shakira: “I know what I’m doing, even when I’m wearing a pencil skirt…”
Shakira is not your average £26m pop star. She reveals why life is like a soccer field, why she’s in therapy, and why she licked the bars of that cage. Alexis Petridis guardian.co.uk, Thursday 15 October 2009 21.30 BST ‘The universe is so broad, I cannot be at the centre of it’ … Shakira. Photograph: Capture Digital In the lobby of the studio where Shakira is receiving the British press, there is a television tuned to a non-stop music video channel. For the most part, it... (more...)

Single “She Wolf” hit No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 for combined airplay and downloads, but peaked at... (more...)
The Making of “Saint Shakira”
She’s Latin America’s hottest singer with fans around the world. But in her native Colombia Shakira is as well known for her work with the country’s poorest children. Euan Ferguson meets a popstar with real attitude. Something very strange happens, in the company of Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoli, to cynicism. After a while, even the blandest of statements has you nodding away, enthralled – not that there are too many, but before we get on to the sociopathy of the conquistadores... (more...)

Shakira’s ‘She-Wolf’ a weird, wildly fun album
Shakira’s She Wolf video — you know, “Ah-oooh!” — is a pop-star peepshow, the gymnastic link between Beyoncé and Britney Spears. ***1/2 stars (out of 4 stars) But She-Wolf the album, online and in stores now, is a different animal altogether. Shakira is still twisting lyrics to fit her nimble grooves, and every moment is bouncy and bright. But every song goes to completely unexpected places, veering from a perfectly commercial shine to avant-garde pop. The Neptunes... (more...)
