Shakira Biography

In 2001, Shakira went from Latin American superstar to revered musical world power with the release of Laundry Service, her 13x platinum English album, which earned her the title as the biggest Latin female crossover artist in the world. Her career can already boast a string of chart-topping hits in both English and Spanish, career sales of 25 million albums and three Latin Grammys including the Best Latin Pop Album Grammy for her acclaimed MTV Unplugged album. And this musical force shows no sign of slowing down.

This summer kicks off a new creative era for Shakira as she embarks on her most ambitious undertaking to date - two albums in two different languages. The first release hitting stores June 7th, 2005 is the Spanish language Fijación Oral vol. 1. It will be followed up in November with a brand new English language album Oral Fixation vol. 2. The albums were crafted over the last two years when the prolific songwriter, producer, musician and singer penned dozens of new songs in both English and Spanish. Recognizing there was more material than one album could hold, the two album concept was born.
