  1. Sale el Sol still demonstrates Shakira's boldly global mindset.

    Sale el Sol manages to bridge the divide between the old and new Shakira with a spark that keeps you listening to the very end.

    Sale el Sol never once sounds disparate or overworked -- it's sunny and easy, its natural buoyancy disguising Shakira's range and skill -- but listen closely and it becomes apparent that nobody makes better pop records in the new millennium than she does.

    The album isn't as heady as She Wolf, but there's an easy charm to how Shakira deftly navigates such a mash of genres.

    Mostly, her new album is businesslike, serious, sane.

    One of the best bilingual albums ever made in music history, Shakira brought latin rhythms from dominican merengue and produced threeOne of the best bilingual albums ever made in music history, Shakira brought latin rhythms from dominican merengue and produced three brilliant tracks (Loca, Rabiosa, Addicted To You) the album also has that 90's shakira thing that we all love, she came back to her roots with songs like Devoción, Tu Boca, Antes De Las Seis and Sale El Sol. Shakira has shown again that the language is not a bar for music. I think she needed more promotion and send the singles to U.S radio Loca and Rabiosa could be smashing singles. I think this is how pop-rock music should sound like. Expand
