Flashback: 20 years have passed since she rocked red hair in her iconic music video Ojos Asi.
Last month, Shakira got her fans excited on Instagram with a hint that new music could be on the way. Her latest music video has already garnered over 310 million views on YouTube, while the single has topped the charts on Billboard’s Latin Airplay. Since her last studio album, El Dorado, was released in 2017 following a battle with writer’s block, Shakira has been balancing motherhood after welcoming her second son Sasha in 2015 with her passion for music.
She found herself facing a blank canvas, feeling a mix of panic and conflicting emotions. She wanted to balance spending time with her kids and fulfilling her own creative needs as an artist and producer. In an interview with Billboard to promote El Dorado, she shared her struggles. After releasing El Dorado, she continued to stay in the spotlight, making a memorable appearance at the Super Bowl last year. Shakira and Jennifer Lopez teamed up for an electrifying halftime show, where Shakira performed some of her classic hits like Hips Don’t Lie and Waka Waka (This Time For Africa).
Do you recall when Shakira last released a studio album back in 2017 with El Dorado? It came after a challenging period of writer’s block for the singer.
