Shakira is having a good professional moment. Everything that the Colombian produces and even touches becomes a sure success. The artist seems to be living a golden age since the separation of her former partner and father of her children, Gerard Piqué; And there is nothing like doing therapy – the singer herself compared the process of writing songs to going to the psychiatrist – through music.
The one from Barranquilla is about to release a new album with unreleased songs and if a few days ago she surprised her followers with the powerful single La Fuerte, in which many believe she narrated the pain she experienced after her breakup with Piqué; The singer has shared a preview of Última, which is supposed to be the final farewell to her great love.
“Last one. To the best of your knowledge…”, writes the Colombian on her social networks, sharing the preview of a video and part of the lyrics of this new single.
“We lost our love halfway / how come you got tired of something so genuine. / Don’t try to convince me, I ask you / it’s already decided. We’re left with what we’ve learned,” he sings in this emotional ballad.
This will be the last song that the artist will dedicate to the father of her children, to whom she gave the nickname “Voldemort” (he who must not be named) in honor of the villain of the Harry Potter saga.
The singer also explains how the song was created. In an interview with The New York Times, Shakira explains that this single gave the “closure” that she needed both to her new job and to the complicated personal stage that she had just experienced.
“It’s a ballad. We had all the tracks finished, but I thought, ‘No, no, I can’t close this album. I’m going to choke on this song. This is stuck here, it’s a cyst, I need to get it out.’ It’s the last song that I plan to write about you know who and the one who shouldn’t have a name: Voldemort.”
This new and long-awaited work, Women Don’t Cry, is released on March 22 and promises to be a complete success and, as has been happening for months with everything the Colombian releases, it will probably break all records. After seven years without releasing a studio album, Shakira couldn’t be more excited.
“The production of this work has been an alchemical process. When writing each song, I rebuilt myself. When I sang them, my tears transformed into diamonds and my vulnerability into resilience,” said the artist.
A work that will contain up to eight unreleased songs, in addition to the well-known ones, such as Te Felicito, his Music Sessions
