Single and album announcement!

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / 11:15 am


We're very pleased to report that Shakira will release her brand new album, Sale el Sol/The Sun Comes Out, on October 19th.

The album will feature Shakira's record-breaking global hit "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)", as well as a new single "Loca". Recorded in the Dominican Republic, “Loca” is Shakira’s interpretation of Dominican artist El Cata’s song “Loca Con Su Tiguere". You can hear the Spanish version of the track, above. There will also be an English version, featuring a guest appearance from Dizzee Rascal, the UK's number one rapper.

Here's an exclusive look at the single and album artwork:

Why..

Why Waka Waka??? :( .. Ok, I love that song but, u know.. u've already released it with the She Wolf Re-Pack .. Btw.. I love Loca, even if it's a cover.. Yeah.. .. and Rabiosa will also be another cover.. why have u chosen to put these songs instead of others written by you?? ahah lots of questions.. but there are some things that I don't Understand .. and I'm askin just because I truly love you Shak!!
