Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Oral Fixation Vol. 2Free Music Review: Not perfect but sexyLatin rock goddess Shakira returns to musical prominence with Oral Fixation Vol. 2, her first English-language album since her intriguing and stunning English-language debut five years ago. Though it's not a perfect listen, it does have its moments, and those moments are superb examples of the booty-shaking Colombian singer-songwriter's ability to create dancefloor-urgent rock music. Global hit "Hips Don't Lie" is the standout track here, of course, and the dialogue between Shakira and Wyclef is brilliant with Shakira's bleating sounding better than ever; it is definitely the best song on record. Ex-smash "La Tortuga" is given a new kick in the pants on Oral Fixation Vol. 2 and is included as a bonus track, and it does its job pretty well--it's not the original mix but it sounds great regardless of the new format. The opener "How Do You Do" is an eerie and haunting questioning-of-one's-faith song that is a pleaser. "Animal City" channels disco-rock with its soaring chorus. The record does have its pitfalls, as heard in the bland and boring "Hey You," probably the worst song on the album. In the end Oral Fixation Vol. 2 isn't perfect, but it's still an engaging and entertaining listen by one of music's most unique vocalists. |
