Shakira is happy with her new sensuality

With the release of her twelfth album ‘Las mujeres ya no Lloran’, Shakira has said goodbye to the “hardest” phase of her life and is now embracing a new era of romance, sensuality, freedom and power with ease and a certain pride.

The Colombian assured this in an interview for EFE “it’s very good”, more confidentand herself more than ever and devoid of the insecurities and social pressures she carried for many years.

Shakira says she met “new power” which he did not know he had, and with whom he “fell in love”, after a public and complicated separation, his father’s illness and legal problems, among other less public topics.

“I’ve descended into hell, I’ve climbed back up, I’ve been in the mud, I’ve wiped the mud off, I’ve dusted myself off and moved on. So now it’s like one has a certain, certain freedom, right? And power too,” he indicated is.

Dressed in black, in platform sneakers and shoes much younger than his 47 years when he turned 1 in FebruaryShakira stated that “I support everything on the album, it’s my words, it’s mine.”

This includes the beginning “Last”, which, as its name suggests, is the last one he wrote to former Spanish soccer player Gerardo Piqué, which begins with the sentence “Thank you.”

Being able to get to that point is part of the power she discovered in the process, and it also helped her stop seeing herself as a victim.

“It is a process in which feelings, family friends, but also the ability that man has to rebuild himself. Sometimes that capacity is found through work, through productivity,” he described.

And the result was 16 songs “Women don’t cry anymore”, a chronicle of a broken heart, but also of the solitude he now enjoys.

The seven already on the market relate to the breakup, plus an EDM version of session 53 with Bizarrap and maybe even (Entre zagrade), his collaboration with Grupo Frontera.

But the rest explores the possible new love he describes in ‘Nassau’, or the passion he talks about in ‘Cohete’, the second work on the album with Rau Alejandro, and even the most explicit lightness in ‘Puntería, his song with Cardi B, the Latin rapper. They are also stories about Shakira.

“There’s no greater pleasure than touching you. No one like you makes me flow. I’m not going to the moon, not to Mars, no, I just want you to come and get me,” they sing in ‘Cohete’.

“I don’t know if I want to stop anymore. Me either melt your hands Your lips drug me. Your biceps drive me crazy. I never speak to you, you always arrive evenly. On my G-spot, haha,” says the lyrics to ‘Puntería’.

“It’s a very personal album. Let’s leave it at that,” he said.

“But yes, I feel freer in everything,” he admitted.

As an anecdote, she told that it surprised even her seamstress, with gossip that was more daring than this close friend’s custom.

‘Oh Shakira, you weren’t like that,’ he admitted with a laugh as he told her as he took measures to fix her clothes.

Some of that ease is attributed to feeling stronger, partly due to age, but she also thinks it has to do with the moment women are experiencing now.

“I see it in many women, but not only at my age, I see it in them too women in general. “I think women are taking this society to unexpected places,” she said.

The tour of my life
Shakira’s first international tour was in 1995 when she toured Latin America with ‘Barefoot Tour’. Almost 30 years later, he is preparing what he described as “the tour of my life”.

Although she is still in the planning and arranging phase, the singer confirmed that she will start this year and that she longs to meet again with the audience that surprised her by following her in dark moments.

That’s why I think that ‘Women Don’t Cry Anymore’ is the materialization of an alchemical process in which pain and anger are transformed into creativity, productivity, resistance, strength,” he said.
