2014 studio album by Shakira

Shakira (stylized SHAKIRA.) is the fourth English-language studio album and tenth overall by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on 21 March 2014 by her company Ace Entertainment and RCA Records in partnership with Sony Music Latin. It is her first English-language album since her eighth studio album, She Wolf (2009). Shakira revealed in November 2011 that she had begun work on the album, which continued into 2013. The album was initially set to be released in 2012, but was delayed because of Shakira's pregnancy, which caused her to scrap most of the recorded songs and start making new ones. Since starting the album, Shakira departed Epic Records, signed a new management deal with Roc Nation and subsequently signed to Epic's sister label, RCA Records.

Hits Don’t Lie: Shakira Bares Her Soul on Turning Pain Into Pop Gold

Shakira walks into a luxurious upstairs suite at Miami Beach’s Villa Casa Casuarina — the former Versace mansion — wearing high-waisted jeans, a loose T-shirt and a baseball cap pushed low over her forehead, her hair pulled back in a tangle of dirty-blonde braids. Far from cameras, her face is practically devoid of makeup save for mascara, and her eyes are wide over prominent cheekbones. Clear-skinned, barely over 5 feet tall in her sneakers, she looks young and almost fragile — a far cry from the powerful, wrathful woman she has played in her recent, hugely successful songs and music videos.

“I’m still in a reflective period,” she says pensively. “I’m still exorcising some demons. The last I have left,” she adds with a hearty laugh.

Billboard Latin Music Week returns to Miami on Oct. 2-6. Shakira will participate in an exclusive superstar Q&A. Get tickets here.
