    Judging for the first single, surely your wouldn't expect such a mixed-powerful-acoustic-mature-enjoyable album like this... one that definitely show that there's few artist right now capable to create music and a very strong album and once again Shakira let us know that she's one of those.

    An amazing album from one of the most beautiful women on the planet. With good songs featuring other stars like Rihanna, the voice of an amazing latiana, this is definitely worth buying!!!!!!!!

    This album has a lot of enjoyable songs , I am from Chile , and I am so proud that a girl from Colombia , Latin America can be so succesful around the world. Shakira is a worldwide artist , and this album expresses one more time the great artist who Shakira is.
    I am sure that a specific song of the album is going to be a HUGE hit worldwide ! Just wait and see.

    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

    Um excelente album pop. Shakira prova mais uma vez que consegue unir elementos de varias culturas e enrriquecer suas músicas com as mais variaras referências. O "Shakira." possui mid-tempos, baladas, dance, reggae e faixas que flertam com sonoridades e estruturas experimentais.

    For a hardcore Shakira fan like myself, this album was a major let-down. From the start to the end it's flat and unispired.

After a 3 year hiatus i was expecting this album to be interesting and fresh but all i got was a bland, boring, monotonous result which fails to make you come back and listen again. It's funny she called this album Shakira because i cannot find a song that has her signature sound on this album. Half of the album tries to make a difference and the other half fades into oblivion because the songs are corny teenage ballads with mediocre lyrics. Even the highly anticipated Sia track turned out to be nothing exciting. This has got to be my least favorite Shakira album ever, and i usually find a couple of tracks to listen to if i don't like an album but this one is one big disappointment i want to forget.

    To be fair, Shakira has had a rough go of it competing with her peers in the business. But the quality of the songs on this eponymous release is weak and therefore fleeting.

They are very polished, air brushed songs - and they cannot even provide, at least, any sugary "ear candy." I hear she has a new husband who is forbidding her to dance with shirtless males. I'm sure that would be the least of their problems considering she is now being controlled by a religious fanatic. And it also reflects on the music - I think her music on this one is also being compromised for the sake of religion which is something that any rock star - even one from a Latin country - would want to avoid. The spirit of the album feels like it has been dampened. Nobody will be listening to this album in a year from now and it will be in the bargain-bin at whatever record store or website you order it from within 6 months. Here's hoping she gets her groove back on next time around.… Expand

    Shakira siempre se ha destacado por su enorme capacidad compositora y vocal, ademas por ser una maestra a la hora de fusionar estilos latinos con el pop y el rock contemporáneo, pero con el paso del tiempo hemos visto como una de las grandes del mundo ha caído en el mundo del pop comercial.

    Shakira's cd is excellent, and one of my favorites so far this year. The cd hooked me right from the start, with the initial dance track, and each track after that. Each track has so much passion and this cd will be one of my favorites this year and I will wear it out!

    Hmmm... it's not a bad album, neither a great album. Obviously, I couldn't understand the Spanish tracks. My favourite tracks were Can't Remember to Forget You, Empire and the amazing Broken Record. The problem with this album is that most of the tracks are not bad, but they all fail to stand out.

    Shakira shows herself more personal and intimate in this album. I praise the collaborations and the musical diversity contained in the album, thus it has a bit of every rhythm.

    This girl did it again. I mean, she took a risk with this new album, a heterogenous album -in a good way-, cause You have since ska-punk to folk and country in one package; her smart but deep lyrics makes an intimate introspection of her life now and how she's loving her new life with her husband.

I don't see anything wrong on it; at the end of the day, she has the right to express her feelings.

    About her new country adventure, it's a nice way to take a risk and making a masterpiece. She sings, she's a song-writer, a producer, she's perfectionist and You can see it in this new album where she put it her name cause You know, it's her after all. It's her feeelings, her new life, how she's feeling now and the way she feels in peace. But sometimes, You can notice she's exorcizing her past demons in songs like 'You Don't Care About Me' or even in 'Cut Me Deep'.

    I love when someone put several sounds and You can still find harmony there in any sense. In conclusion, I'm very glad with the results and I was expecting something similar but this was better than I could imagine. Personal, agressive sometimes, full of love but at same time, with a little satire to the same feeling of love, letting go the past ghosts. She's on her top of expectations and this is the proof.

    PS: I don't know how You could consider that 'LA Times' review cause that was disgusting and disrespectful to her; that was a bad joke, not even a professional or critical musical review.    … Expand

    Generally a great album, with some hits and some misses. I love her sound, as always, but in today's market where strong female vocals are raging, she stays low at the bottom of them all. The best songs off of this record have to be Empire, Medicine and Can't Remember To Forget You.

    Quem é fã da Shakira sabe que atrás desta estrela pop rebolativa há um coração roqueiro e uma alma folk. E é assim que a Shakira nos presenteia com um cd um tanto controverso para um mercado cada vez mais descartável. Quem hoje se lembra de "estrelas" como Carly Rae Jepsen ou Lady Gaga?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not Shakira's best but still very much worth listening too. I am definitely going to say that I wish the song La La La (Spanish Version) was included on the American release. It would have been a great single for US Latin radio. I think, overall, I am a fan of the reggae-tinged production in this album. It's very different, and I like hearing a new side to Shakira. By far and away, the strongest track on this album is Empire. Proud of Shaki for getting back to the rock roots us Hispanohablantes know and love, but I wish she had written the song herself. It sounds off if she doesn't write the song. In fact, this whole album just sounds off. It all SOUNDS like it should be sung by Shakira, but unless Shakira actually wrote the song, I don't think it sounds nearly as convincing. That's just the way she is and always has been. Overall, however, there was not a bad song on the album. It just left a little to be desired.… Expand

    even her most die hard fan would admit she is no adele or alicia keys to support this kind of songs. Simple,acoustic songwriting (23,broken record,,that way) ain't do her any favors.
    Songs like "You cut me deep","Dare" and "Can't remember to forget you" though compliment her vocal range perfectly and turn out to be album's most entertaining moments.
    She also stands her ground on "empire" and "loca por ti"-both a clever refer to her rockish past (si te vas,invevitable) and present (devocion).Maybe it is just me but I will love a total rock -or why not,hard rock- album from her in the future.
    On one hand it's brave to take some serious risks,including new music styles like country,on the other hand a country song by shakira is as useful as a death metal song by miranda lambert.
    She is absolutely talented,she can rock a lot of different music styles but she can't do anything.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
