Free Music Review: An Impressive Achievement
Hit: 5 Stars
Shakira is the dominant Latin female singer of our time, her voice and moves have crisscrossed the globe and generated a true pop culture phenomenon. Other pretty faces of Spanish-language music have attempted this feat, including Thalia and Paulina Rubio, with little success, having to hit reverse and stay in their respective Latin markets, but once Shakira released her 2001 English debut "Laundry Service" she became a bonafide crossover star, becoming just as popular here as in Mexico and her native Colombia where she's already a folk idol at the level of Simon Bolivar. In 2005 Shakira showed her daring sense of the creative by releasing a two-part project that showcases her bilengual skills with Vol. 1 being in Spanish and Vol. 2 in English. The result is a sometimes stunning collection of music featuring some beatiful melodies, sounds and rhythms. "Fijacion Oral Vol. 1" is her best Spanish work since "Donde Estan Los Ladrones," it shows a deeper maturity in Shakira's singing, lyrics and overall identity. The album plunges into lust, romance and regret, sorrow and happiness. "En Tus Pupilas" is a dreamy song with floating guitars and a rich atmosphere while "La Tortura" is a feverish dance number with poetic lyrical play and an irresistible mix of Latin rock, Carribbean rhythms and even a light touch of reggeaton. Alejandro Sanz, that husky-voiced gypsy from Spain makes a great cameo here. "No" is a somber piece with beautiful depth and visions of poison and heartache. "Obtener Un Si" is a stylish little piece that feels almost like something out of a 60's catalogue, very sweet. The second volume, "Oral Fixation," is less Shakira the dancer and more Shakira the rocker. This may be one reason why it failed on the charts when first released. The album was quickly re-packaged with a new spicey dance number and bilengual remix of "La Tortura." The addition of "Hips Don't Lie" shot the album up the charts, the song became a radio staple in the summer of 2006 and became a worldwide hit, especially when it was chosen as the theme song for the World Cup. It's a fun jam with Wyclef Jean taking us to Haitian landscapes as Shakira croons about her native Baranquia (which is also native to Shakira's buddy Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez). The rest of the album is a scorching rocker with the intense "Animal City" that paints the modern world as a cannibal jungle. "Illegal" is not a statement on the current political/social debate in America, instead it's a love song with nice guitar licks by Carlos Santana. "Don't Bother" is a tough in your face song while "How Do You Do" features a church choir, poking at the fact that Shakira was a Catholic schoolgirl. When looked at together it's evident that Shakira has achieved a unique set of songs here with "Oral Fixation" which crosses borders and feelings, one only hopes that this will only embolden the Colombian star to be even more daring in her next venture.
