Success Shakira dedicates the historic recognition of her career at the MTV VMAs to Latinos
Shakira
turns her tears into diamonds on the cover of her twelfth album,
Women No Longer Cry
. Diamonds are the symbol of the
personal rebirth
of the Colombian artist, who dedicates each of the 51 minutes and 10 seconds of the album to singing about breakup, heartbreak, deception and disappointment, and also about the new loves that appear after the sentimental collapse.
But
Shakira
also transforms her tears into diamonds in the literal sense: she has come to
bill
, as she said in
Session 53
of Bizarrap, with an album tailored to the tastes of the market.
The album has 17 songs, which are actually 15 because two are a remix and an alternative version. Of them, seven we already knew, she has been publishing them in the last two years,
two years apparently of pure shit
for the Colombian, that is the story with which she has built the epic of this album, but they have also been two years of artistic comeback in which he has once again had a relevance that he probably never even dreamed of achieving: the stratospheric success of
Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53
,
TQG
(his collaboration with Karol G),
Te felicito
, with Rauw Alejandro, and
Monotonía
, with Ozuna, It culminated in the last Latin Grammys, where she was the winner along with her compatriot Karol G.

The
eight new songs
confirm that Shakira wants to regain stardom and mega-success. They are short and effective songs tailored to the current tastes of the market,
songs made to succeed
among the general public: the fun discopop that you sing without thinking about a party; the traditional pop-rock that has been her sound for so many years; regional Mexican music, which is the phenomenon of the moment in the Latin sphere; and the melodramatic piano ballad.
There are few global products left, and Shakira wants to continue being one of them.
Among the songs that he premieres this Friday, his
new collaborations with Rauw Alejandro and Bizarrap
stand out , both with electronic productions for the casual dance, that dance that people do clapping with an innocent smile, like in a discotheque of the 80s, but with current sound. In this, Rauw is a genius and Shakira, who is quite smart and detects well the tastes of the masses, brings her sardine to the ember of the Puerto Rican.
Cohete
is infectious and cool discopop without complications, a simple-looking song that sounds natural and that anyone can like with its nice combination of classic disco and electro. A simple lyric about love, by the way, not about heartbreak, in which he sings "There is no greater pleasure than touching you/ Nobody like you makes me flow/ I don't want the moon, or going to Mars, no/ I just want to make you come." for me".
Shakira's new collaboration with
Bizarrap
is called
La Fuerte
and in it they try to repeat the masterstroke of their song from last year. It's also discopop, although with a sound more oriented towards 90s Europop, which of course is also a trend in vogue (hello, Dua Lipa). The syncopated pre-chorus is a first cousin of
Session 53
(in "If you want, I'll look out/ Tell me where, when and how") and
"I don't forget you no matter how apparent" rhymes with "Clearly."
The recipient of the song is the same: Shakira's ex-husband, Gerard Piqué. The lyrics address the difficulties of forgetting the lost partner with consonant rhymes:
"If I had known it was going to be the last time
I would have enjoyed you more, but I didn't take advantage of you
And because I believed that you had no expiration date
I saved kisses for later, I was left wanting I would lie
to you if I said that seeing my photos with you doesn't hurt me
Because they hurt
If I don't look for you it's because I also have my pride
Don't think that I don't miss you, because I miss you Another night that I spend without seeing you
Another night that I act strong
I deleted your number, and for what? If I already I know
I don't forget you no matter how apparent it is."
