La hora de la verdad de Shakira: la última jugada maestra de una artista sin límites
“Su hambre es infinita”, define gente que conoce a una artista que hace tres años se fijó un reto que desde hoy se escenifica en la capital
In January 2023, Shakira's career appeared to be stumbling. Her last long album had been released five years prior, in 2017, titled El Dorado. It received a low rating of 2.3 out of 5 on Rate Your Music, a site where fans vote. Over the decade since, only a few of her songs had reached the ranks of bestsellers, but her musical presence had never seemed so distant.
Something needed to change for the Colombian artist. And it did: she released a song with Argentine producer Bizarrap, titled BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53, popularly known as Pa’ tipos como tú. The track earned her two Grammy Latino awards for song of the year and best pop song, and something unusual happened: the music seeped into popular conversation, from bars to political gatherings.
Was it good music? Perhaps not in the traditional sense, but the curiosity was insatiable to hear how the Colombian artist effortlessly wove (with some grace, one must acknowledge) her popular ex-partner into her work.
