Shakira - Oral Fixation / Don't Bother
With an image that is firmly etched on the worldwide public consciousness and 27 million albums under her belt, Shakira has the looks, sales record and live presence of a mainstream global superstar such as Christina Aguilera. With a musical talent that is not only limited to singing and writing her songs but also arranging and producing them, she has the artistic merits of a credible musician such as Alicia Keys. A walking, talking, performing cultural melting pot (as reflected in both her background and her music) Shakira has world-music sensibility Peter Gabriel would admire.
Politically savvy and socially aware, Shakira, a UNICEF ambassador, has an articulate grasp on what's going on in the world today that is reminiscent of traditional singer-songwriters such as Joan Armatrading. To have all these elements in one artist is unprecedented. Quite simply, 28 year old Shakira stands alone.
In 2001 Shakira went from Latin American songstress (with two Spanish language albums to her name) to revered global superstar with the release of her first English language album, 'Laundry Service'. The Grammy award winning 'Laundry Service' went 13x platinum and earned Shakira the title of Biggest Selling Latin Female Crossover Artist in the world.
