1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: We have a lot to cover in this episode.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Are you ready more than the last one? Girl? This fasito.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: It is not my fault that Shakira has one of

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: the most impressive resumes in La industria.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: Give me a little recap. I don't even remember what

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: I had for breakfast yesterday?

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: What about today?

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: Hall of notates.

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: You need to stop your hollow notes hating or I

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: will quit this podcast. Those two are legend.

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, don't go your amazing fema and I know

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: your beat is coming up. But girl, you look like

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: you're twenty something today.

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: You're very lucky because today your cheap flattery is actually working.

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Here's where we left off. Shakira had two failed albums.

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: A third time was Indeed The Charm. The follow up

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: album blew everyone away. She caught the attention of Gloria

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: and Emilio Stefan, who helped her crossover, and with that crossover,

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: Shakira became a household name, releasing hit after hit alutum wait,

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: don't miss anything.

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: She got us all unbothered with that Voyeur video she

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: did with Alexandro Science you forgot that?

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Oh? How could I forget? Oh? And with that Let's

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: dive into one of Shakida's most prolific.

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: Eras the she Wolf era.

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: We are talking all about our Loba Waca Waca, her

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: split from a longtime partner, Antonio Larua, and the album

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: that healed her heartbreak salel So.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: But for that, we need to talk about Beyonce.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm your host Liliana Vasquez.

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: And I'm Joseph Carrio and this is Becoming an Icon.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: A weekly podcast where we give you the rundown on

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: how today's most famous LATINX stars have shaped pop culture.

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: And given the world some extra tuble.

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Sit back and get comfortable.

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Because we are going in the only way we know how,

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: with Buenas Bias.

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Junas riesas and a lot of opinions as we relive

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: their greatest achievements on our journey to find out what

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: makes them so iconic. You and I can both agree

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: that the artists who discussed so far have inspired the

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: globe many many.

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Peeps, one a Hundhi, even Bad Money, who's the most

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: baby of our icons list, has already left his mark

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: in the biz.

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. When it comes to Shakida,

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: then there's obvious ones like Camilicabeyo, Becky g Selena Gomez,

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: and Christina Aguilera. But you also have people like Romeo Santos,

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: bre Larson, Justin Bieber, Rianna Taylor Swift, and even Beyonce.

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Uh pre Larson, Justin Bieber.

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: What can I say? Everybody worships at the Church of Shakda.

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: It's the hips.

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: As for Beyonce, this is the only chance we might

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: have to talk about her, so let's get to it

55
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: before our producers changed their mind.

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Actually, I think she might pop back up with our next.

57
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: Icon spoilers, I want that to be a surprise for

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: the listeners. As I was saying, Beyonce, take a shot.

59
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Whenever we say her name, nobody's going to get through

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: this episode, Joseph.

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: Or maybe they'll give us a five star rating. Could

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: go either way.

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Tell your friends, yes, okay, So let me set the stage.

64
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: The year is two thousand and seven.

65
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Is this going to be on the test, Joseph, I'm discussing,

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: need to keep on.

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: The number one song that year was Beyonce's Irreplaceable Yellows Yellows.

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: She debuted her solo album and the final Destiny's Child

69
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: album was already out so for her next act, be said,

70
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: you know what, let me change some lives.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she thinks that whenever she's about to

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: go into the studio, to be honest, go to the.

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: Studio, you think Beyonce goes to a studio, Bitch, that

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: studio comes to her.

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: So she comes out with b day on her list,

76
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifth birthday and everyone is loving it.

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: By this point, Beyonce could have collaborated with whoever she wanted, and.

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: She chose Chekina. The collab itself was something that stemmed

79
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: from mutual admiration.

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: They'd met numerous times, paths crossing at award shows and whatnot,

81
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: and they had always had plans to collaborate.

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: Sounds familiar, yes.

83
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: The old let's have lunch and then you know you

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: never meet up, But this case was different. Beyonce and

85
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Shakira followed through.

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: And that's on emotional maturity, Mama.

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: After years of admiring each other's work, they were able

88
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: to record the song together, which, thank the Lord, because

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: that song is Fuagle.

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: Praise him. Do you remember what you were doing when

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 2: it came out? It was like confebs February two thousand

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: and seven.

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: How do you remember that when you don't even remember

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: my name? Sometimes?

95
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Guys, it was the collab.

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: It was really good. We've gotten to go back and

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: listen to so much Beyonce and Shakira old music and

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the marriage of those two women in this song with

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: their voices. It's something that I never thought would happen.

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: I agree, And the timing is just so perfect. Also,

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: pairing two powerhouses.

102
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: It's recipe for success, but sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes

103
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: one overshadows the other or overpowers the other, or there's

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: rumors of bad blood on set. Why do you feel

105
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: like this song worked so well, Beyonce?

106
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't feel like she was trying to take the lead,

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: And I think that they were both fifty to fifty

108
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: in on the song. They both sang it equally.

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because while they never met in person

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: to actually record these vocals for that song, we can

111
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: all agree that the mix on this was magic.

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: It was a nice prosole combining both these powerhouse singers.

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: It was the R and B, the hip hop pop

114
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: mixed with Middle Eastern and Latino.

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: And one of the best parts is how they open

116
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: it by saying their name so good and I know

117
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: now it's super common like DJ dj KAL. At that time,

118
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: it felt like they were just letting you know who

119
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: was boss and about to bless your eardrops for real.

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: And another great part about this song is how much

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: they're hyping each other up. These two women agree that

122
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: the boy is not worth their time or peace of mind.

123
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: It's a true girl anthem and girls, guys, if you're listening,

124
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: they're not worth your time and.

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: The youth deserves to know that. Start them off young.

126
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Now. Compared to the music video for Shakira's Objection, where

127
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: she this is the other woman for her cheap silkon

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: for us, I think Shakira has come a long way off. Disclaimer,

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: we are not taking the recent piquet this is into

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: consideration at this moment. We're going to save that juicy

131
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: nugget for a little lad.

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of music videos, the one for Beautiful Liar bless

133
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: Me Queens.

134
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: The video won the VMA for most earth Shattering Collaboration

135
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: at the two thousand and seven MTV Video Music Awards.

136
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: Earth Shattering Collaboration, that's a category. You know.

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: MTV has a lot of fun with the categories, and

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven.

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: It sure was their impact. The VMA's made the category

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: because of them. Nobody can change my mind.

141
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: We can all agree that Shakida and Beyonce are two

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: of the busiest women on the planet, and that made

143
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: shooting this video so difficult. They didn't even have time

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: to choreograph it beforehand. I don't know if you guys

145
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: know this, but they practically made it all up on

146
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: the spot, and they rehearsed right before they filmed.

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

148
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Shakira took the lead for most of it and was

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: the one that taught Beyonce had a belly dance.

150
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: Ooh girl, and we thank you for your service, Shakida.

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: The video, without a doubt, instantly made them the sexiest

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: women in the industry, upstaging my favorite Latortua. I mean,

153
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: when you just have two beautiful women dancing away las

154
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: malas vibras for a good for nothing Chico.

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to say it. I think we're all one,

156
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna say it. This de la rue

157
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: fella had to be a trifling man. Why is Shakira

158
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: always singing about cheating? Did he cheat? Did she cheat?

159
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: I have so many questions.

160
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: And we will get to those very soon. At least

161
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: this time around, though, Shakira isn't singing about dragging the

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: other woman through the dirt. Instead, this distract is about

163
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: two women that realize their energy is best meent calling

164
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: the fucker out and I'm moving on true that.

165
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: So, what's next on Cheky? That's busy schedule.

166
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Writing the music for the adaptation of Love and the

167
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: Time of Cholera?

168
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: What's my man thinking with these titles?

169
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: I think you need to say that for your literary

170
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: critique podcast.

171
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: No one is Safe. I'm looking at you, Joseph Heller.

172
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: The film was based on the nineteen eighty five novel

173
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: of the same name by Gabriel jose L Concordia Garcia Marquez,

174
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: also known as Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Let's just go

175
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: with Gobble Gobbo.

176
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: It just makes it so much easier AKA very famous,

177
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: very prolific Colombian writer. Shakita ended up writing a couple

178
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: of songs for the soundtrack, but the one that stood

179
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: out was this Bedida.

180
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: This Bdi that was nominated for Best Original Song at

181
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: the sixty fifth Golden Globes.

182
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,359
Speaker 2: So close to that egot.

183
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: You could almost touch it now. The best part. Gobbel

184
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: personally asked her to do it.

185
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: Hold up, you mean to tell me the father of

186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: magical realism, realistically Ashakta to create some magic word.

187
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Well, you have to remember they go way way back.

188
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think we are too narrow minded about our

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: pop stars, rock stars, musicians, Like sometimes I feel like

190
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: we don't give them enough intellectual credit. Do you agree?

191
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: I do? I do. I'll speak for myself. I'm not

192
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: saying I'm a pop star. I am. I like to

193
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: hang around with people who know a lot more things

194
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: than I do, And so I feel like Shakda is

195
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: really into poetry, really into art, really into political things.

196
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: So her hanging out with a guy like this, I

197
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: don't think sounds crazy. I think it's an inspiration.

198
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think again, sometimes we have very narrow minded

199
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: opinions of our pop icons or our pop stars, and

200
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,359
Speaker 1: we judge them for maybe how they look on the outside,

201
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: but we aren't really tapping into who they are on

202
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: the inside. So, yes, Shakira has the crazy wild hair,

203
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: she's swinging her hips, she's covered in black paint, gyrating

204
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: on a floor to Alejandro's sons, dancing around barefoot. But

205
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: she's also incredibly deep. She's smart, she's a poet, so

206
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: the fact that she was hanging around with Gobble makes

207
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: perfect sense.

208
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Also, I feel like she's spiritual, and talking to someone

209
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: who is really in touch with themselves takes you there

210
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: and maybe just really she got to take a deeper

211
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: look into herself and write even better and understand her

212
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: feelings more soundly.

213
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Well, I can't imagine a better teacher when it comes

214
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: to writing and really expressing what's deep the core of

215
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: your vulnerability and of your humanity than somebody like Gobble.

216
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're a really good teacher. Thank you.

217
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: She was different, and people appreciated that she was someone

218
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: to watch.

219
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, Forbes named Shikida the fourth

220
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: top earning female artist in the music industry. She followed

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: in Ricky and Jalo's footsteps and performed for a president.

222
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: Please Say Obama, Please Say Obama. It was hell yeah.

223
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: She performed at the Lincoln Memorial for his inauguration alongside

224
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder and Usher. Sure Yes, and unlike other inaugurations,

225
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: Obama drew a huge crowd.

226
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: I can only think of one way to follow up

227
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 2: performing in front.

228
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: Of so many I'm Afraid to ask.

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: By dangling upside down from a cage in a nude bodysuit.

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Oh well, actually yeah, that's exactly what she did. The

231
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: following year, Shakira followed up the success of her Oral

232
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Fixation duology and her collab with Beyonce with She Wolf.

233
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: She Wolf was different.

234
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: Shakida had reached international acclaim following the success of both

235
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: Oral Fixation albums Hips Don't Lie had proved a beacon

236
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: for her career.

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: You can still feel the impact to this day.

238
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: However, the most interesting detail about Shakira's music is that

239
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: critics don't often really vibe with it. They have no taste, zero,

240
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: and yet it always makes its way into lists like

241
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Top Albums of the Year.

242
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: What's the tea Critics? They don't know anything.

243
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: One thing they can't deny is that Shakira puts her

244
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: heart and soul into her music. For this album, she

245
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: enlisted inspiration from those who have inspired her. Shaki recorded

246
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: She Wolf at the Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas,

247
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: where the likes of Bob Marley, The Cure and even

248
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: ac DC have recorded.

249
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: Amazing and those influences were working over time. Because this

250
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: album was less of the Latin pop and rock feels

251
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: we'd gotten before. No, No Honey, Shakia delivered an electro

252
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: pop and new wave phenomenon.

253
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: Which come on. One of the collaborators on this is

254
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Pharrell Williams. You can't not have that kind of experimental

255
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: rhythm when you're working with.

256
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: Pharrell, I mean, bottom line, it's no surprise that this

257
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 2: was the new direction she was taking. Electronic music would

258
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: soon take over the sound waves. There was LMFAO, scrillicks,

259
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: you name it, everyone was on it.

260
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: In just two thousand and nine alone, the top hits

261
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: of the year had She Woke, But there's also a

262
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga with Just Dance, Love TII and Rihannas Live

263
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: Your Life Length and Henrianna again but this time with

264
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Jay Z and Kanye West with their hit Run This Town.

265
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: What do you remember about this era of music in

266
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine and nine.

267
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,239
Speaker 2: I remember Grinder, I remember Grinder came about. I remember

268
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: here as you sure. I remember Kanye taking the mic

269
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: from Taylor's with That was in two thousand and nine.

270
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Right, those are a wild time.

271
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: It was chaos. Two thousand and nine was chaos.

272
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: And we just wanted to dance it all away. Well,

273
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the direction she was taking seemed obvious. Many were still

274
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: curious about this change in style for Shakda.

275
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: How did she go from donnez to a bop like

276
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: She Wolf.

277
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty simple. She's a chameleon, and as we've

278
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: seen so far in her career, we're going to continue

279
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: seeing that she's always able to shift and mold herself

280
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: to what's currently in or popular, but she still does

281
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: that by making that music her own. Take She Wolf

282
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: for example, right, you have her dancing around this particular

283
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: mix of music, all sexy and shit, and then by

284
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: the end she's this innocent, wholesome kind of seductress as

285
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: she goes back to the dance moves that we've always

286
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: known from her.

287
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: She doesn't really chase the trends, she modifies them.

288
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: It's a great way to describe it. And she took

289
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: this bustling electropop genre and combined it with influences from

290
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: around the world like Africa, Columbia, India, and the Middle.

291
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: She described it all as quote sonic experimental trip.

292
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: And when asked about the title, Shakira had this to say.

293
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: She Wolf is the woman of our time, the woman

294
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: who knows what she wants and is free of prejudice

295
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: and preconceived notions. She defends her deepest desires with teeth

296
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: and claws like a wild animal. Following the success of

297
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: She Wolf, she doubled down and collaborated with Freshly Ground

298
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: for the FIFA song we Still Can't stop singing along

299
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: to to This Day's Africa Waka Waka. Her version not

300
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Ours quickly became the biggest selling World Cup song of

301
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: all time. This song has been viewed on YouTube. Wait

302
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: guess how many times, Joseph.

303
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't even guess. It has to be astronomical.

304
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: Pick three point five billion. I knew the number, bitch,

305
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: you are sold. But do you think the song was

306
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: bigger than.

307
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Ricky Martin's Yeah. Like, by the way, I love Cup

308
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: of Life so good just the sound of this, but

309
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: it's not as good as Waka Waka. Like again, remember

310
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: when I said to you that I was sitting in

311
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: my childhood bedroom in Hurst, Texas listening to Shakda Transport

312
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: Me to the Middle East. Now here's Waka Waka. She's

313
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: transporting every person to Africa for the World Cup. Yeah,

314
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: her music is global not just global. It's transformative for

315
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: people because it opens their eyes and ears to a

316
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: whole new sound, a whole new part of the world,

317
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: And like, what a beautiful way to experience new culture.

318
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: There's no better way to experience culture, at least I

319
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: think than through the food and music of that culture word,

320
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: and that's what she did. I couldn't be at the

321
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: World Cup, but I felt like I was a world cut.

322
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: I did feel like it.

323
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: It's so good it took me there. Unfortunately, not everything

324
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: was milk and honey.

325
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: Great. Now I have the munchies. I'm hungry. Hold that thought.

326
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: There was trouble in Paradise because Shakira's love life was

327
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: headed for a dead end when her longtime partner Antonio

328
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: de Arua decided to take Shakira took court.

329
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: Shakita wasn't shy about her relationship with Antonio.

330
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: She began dating the Argentine lawyer back in two thousand.

331
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: Please refer to the laundry service section of the second

332
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: episode on Shakira.

333
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: They were happily in love for almost ten years through

334
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: her crossover and her There are numerous albums After that,

335
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: public perception of their relationship started to shift when in

336
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, Shakira responded to questions on their

337
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: status by saying that they don't need to get married

338
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: to them, marriage was a formality, and.

339
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: This won't be the last time she takes this stance.

340
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: P Que hold that thought as well. Please her and

341
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: Antonio basically function as a married couple and for them,

342
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: well that was enough.

343
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 2: Or so they said, because a year later, in August

344
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: twenty ten, they broke up. They were on a break

345
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: now uh ask rust and Rachel.

346
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: She called it a quote mutual decision to take time

347
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: apart from our romantic relationship.

348
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: It's never mutual, Gattigne.

349
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 1: And it was supposed to be temporary.

350
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: It's never temporary.

351
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: And he would continue overseeing her career since he was

352
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: her lawyer.

353
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Red flag.

354
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: Fast forward to twenty thirteen. That guy sued her.

355
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: There it is the other shoe.

356
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: Dirupt and he asked for wait for it, one hundred

357
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: million dollars that he believed was owed to.

358
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 2: Him, one hundred million dollars. Do you know what you

359
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 2: have to do to earn one hundred million dollars?

360
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: You have to first let us let's let the listeners

361
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: use their imaginations.

362
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: Well, I have some innovative ideas if y'all want it.

363
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: Antonio claimed that Shakira owed her success to him. She

364
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be where she was if it wasn't for him.

365
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: Uh, he got fifty cent peti hanging.

366
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: And it didn't matter anyway, because his lawsuit was dismissed

367
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: and Shakira was a free woman again until Spain got

368
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: to her. But that's for another time.

369
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: It is Kanderlo.

370
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: This does, however, bring us to something you mentioned earlier.

371
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: Oh, Gerard. They made the relationship a fish in twenty eleven.

372
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: One year after a meeting at the FIFA World Cup.

373
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, there's some cross over here.

374
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: Now, well a little are she wolf?

375
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: She Wolf? More like cougar? Me out?

376
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: You couldn't resist good to.

377
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: Nope, Our cougar is almost a decade older than PK.

378
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: You go, Mama.

379
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Pik and Shakira met on the set for her music

380
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: video for Waka Waka, and you'll get all the cheese

381
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: men on those two next week. For now, let's focus

382
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: on the music. Following the success of Waka Waka, Shakira

383
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: released her ninth album, Sally So.

384
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: The album is a perfect blend of her sounds her

385
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: classic style blended with hints of new direction. No, not

386
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: one direction.

387
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: When describing the album, this is what Shaki had to say.

388
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: This album represents exactly the way I am, my state

389
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: of mind today as an artist and as a woman.

390
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Some of the songs remind me of my beginnings, so

391
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like going back to where everything started,

392
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: but from a new perspective with the way I see

393
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: things now now. Salid Sold is considered to be Shakira's

394
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: return to her roots, and when you listen to it,

395
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: you definitely get like those early Shakira rock and roll vibes,

396
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: but a little Colombian and also like a ton of

397
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: pop Latino. What were your thoughts on this album, Joseph.

398
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: Well, Number one. When the song came out, I was

399
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: going to the gay bars and Loka was fucking everywhere,

400
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: and I was like, look, Gon, look Gon, Lka, And

401
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: you know that made me Loka because I am Oka.

402
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: So that is the first thing that I could think

403
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: of right now that we're talking about it. What about you?

404
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: I think for me, it was just the constant, I

405
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: don't know, self discovery element of her, like she's not

406
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: afraid to try something different, and I feel like for

407
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: so many of us, You and I have talked about

408
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: this a lot, right, like we kind of get stuck

409
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: in this rut of who we are, how we sound,

410
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: what people think of us. Shakira just has this really

411
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: innate ability to just throw like all caution to the

412
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: wind musically and personally and be like, you know what,

413
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: f it Like, I want to try something new, I

414
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: want to try something different. And a lot of people

415
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: will say when you have that level of fame and success,

416
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 1: like you're almost too big to fail, but you're not.

417
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: You can have a failure commercially and it can really

418
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: set back your career. But our little Lobita, I mean,

419
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: she's unafraid.

420
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: Also because I don't think she cares. I'll tell you

421
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: why she is writing the music that comes from her,

422
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: you know, so if it's a failure or not, it's like,

423
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: this is what she's fucking feeling. This is this is

424
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: the song. It's a looka, it's a rabiosa, it's stilet soul.

425
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: It's like we get to evolve with her as they go.

426
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: Completely and The album debuted at number seven on the

427
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: US Billboard two hundred chart, marking the highest debut for

428
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: a Latin album for the year, and with Shakira's fifth

429
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: album to peak at number one.

430
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: At the twenty eleven Latin Grammy Award ceremony, Salle Sold

431
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: won Best Female Pop Vocal Album.

432
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: In November of that year, Shakira was also honored as

433
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year.

434
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: This was her year she survived Antonio's pettias attempts at

435
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: bringing her down. A girl was at her peak.

436
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Or so she thought. Shakira was about to become a

437
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: Mama Wolf when it came to sale Luson Shakira stated

438
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: that there were three layers of the album, a romantic one,

439
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: a very rock and roll one, and a Latino tropical one.

440
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: But Shaki admitted that she hadn't tapped into romance for

441
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: three years prior to the album Ooh the Siderene, and

442
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: it was refreshing for her to feel those emotions again.

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: No wonder why rol was salty. However, this time love

444
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: was truly in the air because Homegirl was pregnant with

445
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: her first baby.

446
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Yes, in between all of those gigs, Shakira gave birth

447
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: to her first son with Pique Milan and Barcelona, but.

448
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: No nesting for her post baby, she immediately started as

449
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: a judge on The Voice That's Right.

450
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: Shakira and Usher replaced Christina Aguilera and Celo Green as

451
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: coaches for the fourth season, alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

452
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 2: Sure you got to get that check, honey. Those diapers

453
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: ain't cheap.

454
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: No, babies are really expensive. And through that all, Shakira

455
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: had originally planned to release her next album around the

456
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: same time, but for the moment, family came first, so

457
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: all her projects were put on pause for almost two years.

458
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: But if there's one thing Shakida fans know by now,

459
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: it's patience.

460
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: And Shakira's self titled ten studio album was later released

461
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: on March twenty fifth, twenty fourteen. Describing the album, she

462
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: put it best in the end, what I realize is

463
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: that throughout the course of creating this body of work,

464
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: I learned a lot about myself. Though I didn't realize

465
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: it at the time, all the directions I began exploring

466
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in the initial phases of recording were helping to pave

467
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a path for me of rediscovery. Most importantly, I am

468
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: enough imperfections and all, so what I'm offering you now is.

469
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: Us that it was honest and most of her records.

470
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Are they are And the album had three singles, Can't Remember,

471
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: to Forget You, Empire, and Dare.

472
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,120
