Shakira Officially Begins Work On New "Club/Dance" Album



Shakira has officially begun work on her 8th studio album and plans to reinvent herself as a club queen!

Shakira’s been having meetings and listening sessions with some of the top dogs in the dance world, starting with Dutch DJ Afrojack. She’s also planning to listen to material from some of top forty’s biggest hitmakers, like Dr. Luke, RedOne, Max Martin, Benny Blanco, and DJ Tiesto.

She’s also enlisted underground New York club queen Venus X to help with the album, almost like a creative adviser.

“I’m sending her a lot of hyrbrid-oriented stuff—Turkish reggaaton, a lot of kuduro that sounds like African trance,” Venus X tells The Fader. “Hopefully I’ll be able to introduce her to things that are working on the dance floor so she can translate and re-interpret them for universal pop.”

“Shakira wants to make dance music. She’s always been ahead of the curve. With “Ojos Asi,” she was doing Arabic instrumentals with Spanish vocals.”

Hopefully she won't sell out and sound like a clone of other artists doing dance music. She has really good moves and a good voice so she should use this opportunity to kill them all on the charts
