If anyone was wondering what hue might dominate Shakira\u2019s long-awaited return to the music scene after a seven-year hiatus, the answer was painted in bold strokes over a year ago.<\/p>\n

Teaming up with Argentine DJ Bizarrap, the Colombian sensation unleashed \u201cBzrp Music Sessions Vol. 53,\u201d a scorching lyrical takedown aimed squarely at her ex-husband, Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique\u0301, cementing her status as the reigning she-wolf of the music industry.<\/p>\n

That sizzling, rhythmically relentless track, dripping with shade, now finds its place among the 16 offerings on Shakira\u2019s latest musical venture, \u201cLas Mujeres Ya No Lloran\u201d (\u201cWomen No Longer Cry\u201d), scheduled to drop this Friday.<\/p>\n

In a star-studded affair, Shakira\u2019s collaborators read like a who\u2019s who of the music world, featuring the likes of Cardi B, Ozuna, Rauw Alejandro, Grupo Frontera, Karol G, Fuerza Regida, and even superstar DJ\/producer Ti\u00ebsto, who puts his spin on the Bizarrap hit.<\/p>\n

Thematically, Shakira is all about turning the page, as she emphasized in a recent t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate with The Sunday Times, highlighting the sacrifices made for love during her relationship with Pique\u0301: \u201cFor a long time, I put my career on hold to stand by Gerard\u2019s side, so he could chase football dreams. There was a lot of love, but also a lot of sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echoing this sentiment, she explained to The New York Times her creative approach to dealing with life\u2019s curveballs: \u201cIf life throws lemons at you, make some lemonade. That\u2019s exactly what I did with this album \u2014 channeled my frustrations, anger, and sadness into creativity. I transformed pain into productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is the best song on Shakira\u2019s new album?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While some tracks from her 12th studio album, such as \u201cTe Felicito\u201d with Alejandro and \u201cMonoton\u00eda\u201d with Ozuna, have already solidified their spots in the hearts of fans, it\u2019s the collaboration with Cardi B on the album opener \u201cPunteria\u201d that truly steals the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Set to an irresistible dancefloor beat, the bilingual track, loosely translated as \u201ctakes aim,\u201d sees Shakira crooning about the allure of wrong choices feeling oh-so-right, punctuated by Cardi B\u2019s signature fiery verses.<\/p>\n

Shakira\u2019s velvety vocals seamlessly blend with Cardi\u2019s sharp lyricism, with lines like \u201cI\u2019m a pretty little thing from face to feet\/I\u2019m from the Bronx but I got a Georgia peach\u201d adding an extra layer of sass and attitude.<\/p>\n

Together, they form a dynamic duo, setting the stage for an album that effortlessly transitions between infectious Latin rhythms and soul-stirring ballads, all while championing the cause of female empowerment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
