i'm not a big shakira fan—not in a hater way, just don't listen often—but this was a really interesting, clever deep dive. i also want to point out that "waka waka" was inspired by cameroonian musicians (and arguably plagiarized), but i see your point about how shakira morphed her style over the years!

her 90s lyricism is unparalleled 🫶 i have salió el sol on dvd and i still go back to some of those songs. her talent is still there and will forever be there but buried deep behind commercialism 💔

super interesting to read about shakira on here!!! i am a major fan of her earlier work and it was definitely strange to see her almost 180 into a more electronic sound
