During her visit to The Tonight Show, the Colombian singer talked about the album, but she also confessed to Jimmy Fallon that now that she is single she feels freer when it comes to developing her musical creativity: ”’It has been very difficult to put everything that I felt in an album and gave it shape, because I didn’t have time, that was what having a husband had to do. Now I don’t have it anymore. My husband dragged me, he wouldn’t let me. “Now I’m free, now I can really work.”
In other interviews he has spoken about how important this project has been to channel his anger, anger and anguish regarding the separation of his children’s father, since music has helped him name many emotions and vent his feelings. publicly about the suffering he has experienced over the past few months.

Speaking of feminism, Shakira has opened up to Allure magazine and explained that her children did not like the film about the most famous doll in the world and that she was not enthusiastic about it either: ”My children completely hated it (… .) They felt it was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent. I am raising two children. I want them to also feel powerful respecting women.”
”I like it when pop culture tries to empower women without robbing men of the ability to be men, and also to protect and provide. I believe in giving women all the tools and confidence that we can without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I believe that men have a purpose in society and so do women. We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost,” Mebarak said in the interview.
Thousands of social media users and many followers of the artist have been disappointed with Shakira’s ”vague” feminist theory, as well as with her controversial opinion on the Oscar-nominated film.
”The empowerment that Shakira sells is that of the economically privileged woman who has two clichés in her head about what it means to be masculine and what it means to be feminine”, ”She’s just another sister-in-law”, ”You haven’t understood anything at all, daughter. ”, etc., are some of the comments that can be read about it.
