Shakira plays truth or "Dare" on the dance floor

Shakira is on a roll lately and there's no stopping her. First, she released her smash hit "Empire," performing on 'The Voice,' and now, she's back on the music scene with a brand new video for her latest club-thumper "Dare (La La La)." The uptempo dance track, that contains Brazilian beats and takes influence from electronica, was written for the 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup and will be the official anthem for it. Channeling Mad Max, a warrior princess and a certain hedonistic vibe, Shakira can make something as simple as standing against a colored wall look daring with her new video for the catchy tune.
"Dare (La La La)" maybe not Shakira's finest banger to date, but the video for Ibiza's Next Top Wordless Chorus does feature the Colombian hitmaker running through fields and liberating dance floors like a club-hopping Khaleesi. Also making up for the track's clunky spoken-word verses is the return of what appears to be her "She Wolf" choreography. "The Hips Don't Lie" singer shakes her thing in front of a colored wall, and grinds up on it - yep, her hips still don't lie. It's been almost five years since she danced around in an anatomically suggestive glittery cavern, but we couldn't remember to forget those moves - the lurching shoulders, the claw hands - even if we tried.
It's filled with fun techno dance beats, Shakira's vocals are crazy good and she's shaking her booty in the entire music video. You know that old saying, "Dance like nobody's watching"? Well, in the new "Dare (La La La)" video, Shakira's dancing like EVERYBODY's watching, which makes sense because she's, like, Shakira, as she throws her hands in the air like she just don't care. Much like in "She Wolf," the Anthony Mandler-directed clip shows Shakira dancing, ducking and weaving her way around a monument, a mini-hedge maze, and an assortment of colorfully tiled walls.
The Pied Piper that she is, Shakira's soon joined by throngs of eager dancers as she questions: "Is it true that you love me/ I dare you to kiss me/ With everyone watching/ It's truth or dare on the dancefloor." Oh, dare! Pick dare. No, truth! No, wait... Dare! After this hot dance video, we bet someone will! Needless to say, we're scheduling an appointment to get it tramp-stamped after work. Till then, we'll just be sitting here with the clip on repeat, mesmerized by the almighty power of Shakira and we don't care who's watching.
