The Sun Comes Out For Shakira
. Though the album stems from Shakira's retrospective center, she also calls on the inspiration of other artists, bringing in Puerto Rican sensation, Residente, from Calle 13 on "Gordita" for a hip hop twist, and cover's The XX's "Islands." The album also includes the hit single "Loca" featuring Dominican artist El Cata and UK phenomenon Dizzee Rascal (on the Spanish and English versions respectively). The disc also features Shakira's worldwide smash "Waka Waka," the theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which turned into a global phenomenon, reaching Number One in sixteen countries. It sold over two million singles, making it the biggest World Cup song ever released. The official video has seen over 200 million YouTube hits, making it the Number Four most watched video of all time and the Number Three most watched music video. The track was also the soundtrack to Shakira's 1Goal campaign for universal education. Click here to read today's full Day in Pop report Preview and Purchase Shakira CDs |
