Bambino 23,387 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Why has Latin pop become so big? “Well, it was about time,” says Shakira. Now 42, she wrote her first songs at just eight and recorded her first album, Magia, at 13. “When I started, Colombia had a nonexistent pop scene. I had to overcome so many obstacles to become an international pop singer. Later on, even when I crossed over to the Anglo-American market, I had to fight my own record company to put out music like Hips Don’t Lie. My music always had some kind of fusion – Colombian and Middle Eastern influences, so it made my path even harder.” Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilmonzter 2,864 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hips don't lie was a superhit. She's the most successful latin artist of the decade. Sing C'est la vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 89,588 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I really wish she would come back to the English market again, she's been missing. I just hope she would come back to her original style, songs like Ojos Asi or Objections, it feels like since Hips Don't Lie she's stuck with this style.

Both had their crossover eras and Paulina's English album even certified gold in the US but for some reason she never released another English album and rather remained loyal to her Spanish-language pop sound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her self-titled album and She Wolf had very different styles from Hips Don't Lie. It's only on her spanish albums that she focuses more on reggaeton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still listen to this song on mainstream radio! It's a cute one. I agree with you, for years now Shakira has kept her sound very stagnant. That or she has hopped into trendy Latin tunes (they all sound the same, you can't even tell if the singer is Shakira or any other). (I don't listen to her albums though, just the singles I catch on the radio). I love "Underneath Your Clothes", and "Don't Bother" is for me one of the best songs she has ever released (or any Latin artist for that matter).

Anderson123 30,502 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hips Don’t Lie was huge and I’m happy that it got so much recognition but that’s around the time I listened to Shakira’s music less and less. I prefer her more chill albums and that’s just me but it’s great to see more people loving her music today. She rarely writes her own music anymore (nothing wrong with that) so that’s probably why I feel like her songs don’t sound as personal as they did but she’s still an icon.

But did Shakira get kicked out of her label for low sales? Mrs. Caca's career found dead in a ditch, re-evaluation process started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
