The production is a rehash of MANY songs, old and new, so yes it is fair to call it generic.
Oh, please. It's not remotely generic.
There's nothing generic about two Pop artists releasing a Ska-Punk song when every sign pointed to it being a sexy club banger or something more seductive.

This is not what I expected but slay queens. For the fans of Shakira and the navy, this song is an instant bop, but I am certain, it's going to take multiple listens before the gp embrace this tune.
Gosh, this song actually brings out the best of Rihanna and Shakira. I really hope this will become the hit it supposed to be. This could be the start of a new era in music. Please Rihanna, #reggaeforR8
As for Shakira, I hope that this is a good indication of what direction her album is going to be.
