Shakira Sizzles In Steamy "Addicted To You"

Shakira is following up her Billboard Latin Music Awards success with a new music video for "Addicted to You," the fifth and final single from Colombian pop star's third Spanish bilingual album. "Sale el Sol." As always, it's far from unsexy. The new clip will simply reconnect fans with the sensuality and radiance Shakira so effortlessly emits.
The bilingual "Addicted To You" is a colorful, Latin-infused pop record, laced with lively, hip-shaking rhythm worthy and influenced heavily with merengue and dance music that perfectly showcases Shakira's one-of-a-kind vocals. The song was noted for trying to incorporate bilingual lyrics, a very 70's chorus and Copacabana sounds. The song hurries back to the hip-swaying dance beat, and the cheap keyboard that drives the tune reminds us of music played at weddings and quinceañeras.
Shakira has created a new merengue-rock hybrid that lays down bare horn riffs over a driving beat in a groove that is irresistible, and her striking vocals never fail to romance us. The verses are in Spanish but the chorus is in English and speaks to a feeling we can all relate to - being addicted to your significant other: "Baby, I'm addicted to you," she sings half the song in Spanish, which just adds to the exotic flavor. Another upbeat dance tune, the song has many percussive elements happening, from different shakers to hand drums. They keep the song alive, and it never grows dull.
Treating fans to a brand new production, shot in one day in L.A., the 35-year-old singer emits her signature sexpot style with barely-there jaw-dropping outfits and cooing the Spanglish lyrics in the Anthony Mandler-directed uber-sexy video. The steamy footage shows the "Hips Don't Lie" songstress writhing around on a chair, getting sudsy in the tub, and pretty much just looking hot as she dances around in a pair of black hotpants.

Shakira Turns Up The Heat In "Rabiosa" Video

Shakira certainly knows how to draw in viewers, and she has done it again with her giddy, rapid-fire Latin pop song "Rabiosa." In the song's newly-released video, the "She Wolf" songstress sports a short, dark and sexy brunette French bob wig, as she throws a party, attracts a cute boy and pole dances in some black lingerie. "Rabiosa" (English: "Rabid") is the third single from her third bilingual and seventh studio album, "Sale el Sol." Shakira has created a new merengue-rock hybrid that lays down bare horn riffs over a driving beat in a groove that is irresistible.
The catchy tune has a distinctive Latin flavor that's sprinkled with spices of Dominican merengue music. The fast-paced track features a sizzling horn section and a steady dance beat throughout. Musically, "Rabiosa" is a Merenrap/Dancehall reggae song with Latin and rap influences. It featuring rappers Pitbull's familiar interjections. It's exactly the kind of undeniably sexy song you'd expect from a Shakira/Pitbull collaboration, a smart and seductive dance mix that won't let your hips sit still. Pitbull's raspy raps mesh well with Shakira's sultry moans and invitations to "come get a little closer."
The 34-year-old Colombian tour hottie restyled herself as a voluptuous brunette and is cutting loose for the Jaume de Laiguana-directed video, which was shot in late April in Barcelona, Spain. It was described as having a "partying atmosphere" by those who took part in the shootings. The video starts off with the Colombian songbird entering a sexy dance party at a nightclub. Throughout the vigorous video, the camera leads Shakira through the festivities, as she sports a green mini-dress and short bobbed brown hairdo. The singer engages in a salsa dance with a male party-goer, crowd surfs above the masses, and gets playful in bathtub as she sings the lusty lyrics.
It's not long before we're reintroduced to blonde Shakira shaking her famous hips around a pole in black lingerie, continuing the fantasies that she started in her "She Wolf" video. Shakira has made possibly her raciest music video yet, stripping down to a teeny weeny black bikini and showing off her pole dancing skills. Only Shakira can transform a pole dance from trashy to awe-inspiring, as she moves her body in ways that most people can only dream of. She finishes big with a sideways split as the video fades out. As always, the Latin songstress brings the heat both musically and visually on this meringue-inspired track.

Shakira Goes From Waka Waka To "Loca" Video

Latin pop star Shakira has finally premiered the video for her latest single, "Loca," the catchy song is the lead single from her upcoming bilingual studio album "Sale El Sol/The Sun Comes Out," which is due October 19 in US. Two versions of the song were released, one in Spanish, that features vocals from El Cata, and one in English that features vocals from British grime rapper Dizzee Rascal.
Shakira is 'Loca' for a guy! Over horn-heavy merengue beats and techno dance percussion, the hip-knocking Colombian delivers her interpretation of El Cata's "Loca Con Su Tiguere," fervently singing about being erratic for a guy, more so than his other leading lady: "She's tied to your love / But your love's only mine, boy." While Shakira lures in her man with Loca's hypnotic chorus, Dizzee delivers a notable rap interlude and skittering rhymes, affirming that he is, in fact, enraptured by a "crazy girl."
Shakira really knows how to make a sexy music video! The Jaume de Laiguana-directed video's urban locale is a little grittier than what you've seen from the Colombian superstar, with her skating, motorcycling and dancing through traffic and gawking fans in Spain's famed city before making a very public costume change. Why is Shakira going wild in the streets of Barcelona? Originally she planned to shoot another glittery production for "Loca," her new duet with Dizzeel, but then did something a little crazy and let Dizzee direct. The version used in the video is the JS Mix and she shot the video in a bikini top and gold hip-huggers that exposed her well-toned backside.
The "fun-filled" music video is different from Shakira's previous clips most of which are usually big-budgeted affairs. There's a calculated madness to the "Loca" video, a vibrant, unchained energy, the kind very few artists can conjure up, no matter how big the budget. And, come to think of it, that's a pretty accurate way of summing up Shakira's entire career. For nearly two decades now, either due to her multinational leanings or because she is sort of insane, Shakira has managed to carve out her own, rather indefinable niche in the pop music.
