As a big fan of Shakira, I was full of anticipation and was sadly disappointed. Anticipation - it is not a bad album. Shakira delivers as always soulful, good music, but unfortunately it is not their best work and remains safe behind Fijacion Oral, Donde estan los Ladrones, Sale el Sol or Laundry Service back. Personally I lack in the Latin music very factor that Shakira seems to unfortunately lose more and more. I prefer to listen in Spanish, even if their English is very good work. The different styles on the album are unfortunately too many and even if it's nice to hear, it misses the other the enthusiasm Shakira with their great rhythms and cheeky texts triggers. Every artist has the right to develop and try new things, but to me Shakira was as goddess of Latino Pop already perfect. A return to its roots and still feel fuller, deeper lyrics would be nice. Yet in this album to find much good Broken Record, Spotlight, 23 are excellent songs, which can also look deep into the private life of the singer. Sometimes maybe a bit too much, because it tells its own story and you can empathize so hard to clear the references to her boyfriend. The only no-go is the super hit "Dare", which unfortunately can not bring to bear Shakira's incredible talent.
All in all, you can recommend the album, it's a good album. There is unfortunately only in the shadow of Shakira's own great work
