    It's an amazing album, very sensual, his collaboration with Rihanna is incredibly sexy and crazy, very Shakira-esque. It is also very personal, it has romantic ballads dedicated to her children.

    I like all of the songs of this album! Especially Empire, Cut Me Deep, 23, Loca Por Ti, Broken Record, La La La (Brasil 2014), and Can't Remember To Forget You.

    This album is an example and on of the moments when artist shows up the real feelings, without following the trends. I listen to almost entire album. I'd say that this album make me warm feeling of trust, especially in songs "23", "That Way", and "Medicine". The singles as "Dare(lalala)" and "Can't remember to forget you" are somehow break the image of personal album.

    Este aborto esta super asqueroso pero como se trata de mi Reina con voz de cabra Shakira lo compre y llego a la increíble suma de 100M WW superando a cualquier álbum del pederasta asqueroso(Michael Jackson) en éxito y calidad.

    Mesmo lançando um de seus trabalhos mais fracos, Shakira conseguiu entregar muita qualidade. É ela!

    Un album maravilloso, liricamente uno de sus mejores trabajos, y con un sonido expectacular!!! Uno de sus albums mas personales y es increible el resultado!!!

    Siendo sincero este es su mejor álbum hasta ahora, su música al estilo "country" hace que tu piel se erice y sientas esa magia musical, es conexión que es difícil de sentir

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Éste es el mejor álbum de Shakira junto con Dónde Están Los Ladrones. Las líricas son las mejores y sus arreglos vocales fueron bastante sencillos a comparación de lo que nos tiene acostumbrados Shak, lo que me da a entender que fué totalmente intensional y aprecio el detalle Expand

    Extraño la época en que nos daba canciones de calidad... Si bien logra mantenerse vigente. Últimamente no me gusta mucho.

    Desde la la la, hasta spotligth son canciones que te llegan, son las letras las que hace mejor este álbum, el mejor del 2014

    Shakira arrived at a time when anything thinks it's good. This is one of the worst jobs of the career. Second only to El Dorado.

    At least the fans pretend

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of her most versatile albums. She literally did country, reggae, rock and the softest ballads all in one album. My top picks would be you don't care about me, loca por ti, and empire. The lyrics are simple, personal and that is when they hit you deep. Not once does anything seem overdone or artificial; it's Shakira's self-reflection in all its raw and purest form. Expand

    Great English comeback, favorite track is Empire highlighting her vocal ppwer. Broken record a beautiful song. Also loved the reggae influence in tracks like Cut Me Deep and Can't Remember To Forget You. La La La Brazil Remix is a great dance track.

    3 canciones de este album fueron buenas. Todo lo demas puede ser desechado, shakira ha perdido tanta calidad

    An incredibly underrated album that deserved far more success. The album has good lyrics, and in my opinion, contains her best vocals.

    A total breach of expectation. Shakira names the album under her own name, but the songs on it do not seem to be hers. What happened?

    This is not what I was expecting, but it's a good album. Some of Shakira's songs are addicted but other ones are not too bad. I miss that shakira from the Laundry Service or Oral Fixation.

    Un muy buen álbum, con diversos sonidos y a pesar de ello las canciones no pierden sentido y cada una tiene algo que mostrar.
    Un error sería que hay una canción que personalmente la veo muy forzada: Chasing Shadows.
    Le doy: 8/10

    Shakira's most easy-to-listen English album, every track has a story about her life but provides some moments of fun and dancing throughout the process

    Arte, el álbum más personal de Shakira, me encanta, canciones como 23, The One Thing, Spotlight, That Way demustran que la Shakira de las baladas nunca se fue.

    It’s a shame that she feels she has to bow to record company pressure, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty to enjoy on Shakira and the variation of styles means that the album is never boring.

    She pins huge choruses and a mercurial vocal tone to music that's so effortlessly eccentric and omnivorous you'll hardly notice when a banjo (and Blake Shelton) enter on "Medicine."

    She sounds like she truly cares and poured her heart into her songs (and most of them are indeed co-written by her), with the overall result feeling satisfyingly emotional and incredibly fulfilling... something that couldn't be said as strongly about an album like She Wolf.
