 ''I'm starting to feel just a little abused, like a coffee machine in an office,'' Shakira warbles on the title song from her third English-language album. It's an image so bizarre you'd laugh if you stopped to think about it — which you won't, because you'll be too busy dancing to the scratchy funk guitars, elastic bass line, and steady house pulse behind those words.Similarly mesmerizing sounds abound on the rest of She Wolf, as the Colombian star dives headfirst into the omnivorous disco style she's often flirted with in the past. A team of producers led by the Neptunes (back in peak form after a recent lull) surrounds her limber vocals with unorthodox grooves that incorporate reggaeton rhythms à la 2006's smash ''Hips Don't Lie,'' klezmer-esque horns, crisp new-wave riffs, and more....full text |

| Shakira is the strangest of all international pop titans: As soon as you dig beneath the surface of her sexed-up divatude, things get kooky. Featuring six Neptunes productions, She Wolf is her most blatant overture to American fans yet. But the weird stuff creeps in quickly: The peppy "Spy" is a meditation on masturbation, and "Good Stuff" is a string of musical surprises, from dancehall-style rap-singing to a ridiculously catchy chorus. Shakira's trademark warble is gauche, but whether boasting about sex on "Why Wait" or wailing on the guitar-propelled "Mon Amour," she's a charmer — a globe-straddling star you can cuddle up to....full text |

| Shakira is not like other pop stars. She dances like she's got a live snake in her trousers and somehow manages to get away with singing lines such as this, taken from her 2001 hit, Wherever, Whenever: "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble / So you don't confuse them with mountains". What she's going on about is anyone's guess, but it somehow makes sense when it's delivered in her strangely undulating, yelping singing voice. Having followed up that initial hit with the globe straddling Hips Don't Lie with Wyclef Jean and Beautiful Liar with Beyoncé, Shakira is now the fourth-richest female singer, sharing the spotlight with such divas as Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand. Luckily, the Shakira on She Wolf is about as interested in lovey-dovey ballads as she is in singing in just the one key. She Wolf, as the title suggests, is a primal, carnal album of songs focusing on the opposite sex and, well, having sex with the opposite sex. It's about sex, basically. On the title track, over a funky guitar line and a deceptively simple beat, Shakira howls and cavorts her way through three minutes of delicious pop, as camp as it is clever. Bizarrely, it was co-written by Sam Endicott, the lead singer of American indie also-rans The Bravery. You get the feeling it wasn't he who came up with the line, "Starting to feel just a little abused/ Like a coffee machine in an office". It's the kind of wonderfully bizarre couplet we've come to expect from Columbia's shrinking violet....full text |
