Shakira says her new album 'She Wolf' is "very electronic"
Shakira is gearing up to release her album titled "She Wolf" in October. She admits in an recent interview with MTV News that her album will be more a very electronic album, dance oriented, club oriented..... She wants people to have fun with it and forget about the troubles and forget about the crisis and forget everything for a minute.... At least while they listen to the music. Shakira recorded the album, as well as a forthcoming Spanish-language disc, in the Bahamas, working with producers like Pharrell and Wyclef Jean and incorporating elements of Colombian, Indian, Middle Eastern and African musical styles. She told an interview with MTV news recently:
"I wanted a bassier album with harder sounds. I wanted the beats to be very solid. I wanted to build a solid foundation starting from the beats." She also said: "Pharrell comes up with ideas, and he executes them immediately. It's really cool, because I'm a little bit slower, and he's the man with the big strokes, and he really comes with great ideas. It was a great synergy." And reconnecting with Wyclef meant a chance to try to recapture the salsa- and reggaetón-infused magic that spawned the Billboard-topping 2006 hit "Hips Don't Lie." "We both grew up in the developing world. We both have been very close to another kind of reality — you know, extreme poverty. People who don't have the ability to get access to education or even fulfilling their basic needs. And we both share the same visions and the same views about the world and what we can all do to — in our own small way — change that. So that is a recurrent topic of conversation between him and I."
Can't wait.
