The path to her tenth studio album hasn’t been the easiest. The singer’s unique charm, instantly recognizable voice, and quirkiness allow her to carry off even the most plain of tracks, whilst her obvious love for all types of music allows her to pick and choose the styles which suit her. However, you don’t manage to have a music career spanning almost 25 years without having something special, and whatever that is, Shakira has it in spades. That’s not even mentioning her lyrics and half the time you don’t even know what she’s singing about, even when she’s singing in English. Her musical style and influences vary wildly, and not just from album to album, but within albums as well.


To call her voice unusual would be an understatement.
