Shakira Set To Release New Album

• 29th Sep 2009

Global superstar SHAKIRA is set to release her latest body of work entitled, “She Wolf”, on October 12th. The highly anticipated new album features “Did It Again, “Gypsy” and the hit “She Wolf” which Shakira both co-wrote and co-produced. “She Wolf” marks the artists’ third English-language release.

“She Wolf” features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. For “She Wolf”, which was recorded in the Bahamas, Shakira worked closely with the likes of artist/producer Pharrell, Wyclef Jean, The Neptunes, and Santigold producer John Hill. Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, “Loba” on June 29th, 2009, two weeks before the English single was launched. “Loba” was made available globally in recognition of Shakira’s longstanding fan base and unique bilingual appeal.

“She Wolf”, the title track off the album, boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name. The single saw a chart topping US debut with nearly a million singles sold, topping the iTunes singles chart and making it #1 on the hot single sales chart. The video for “She Wolf” has been sweeping the world, debuting at #1 on iTunes and MTV, remaining the #2 selling video on iTunes. To date, Shakira has had over 35 million YouTube views since the “She Wolf” video debuted at the end of July making it one of the biggest videos of the year!

“She Wolf” has already proven to be a smash, and is up to number 4 in the UK chart in its third week.
Shakira boasts a string of chart-topping hits in both English and Spanish and sales of over 50 million records. Her last project, “Oral Fixation” Volumes 1&2, has sold in excess of 8 million albums worldwide with the singles “La Tortura” and “Hips Don’t Lie” having earned over 10 million digital downloads.
