Shakira Is Grateful for Heartbreak on ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,’ a Latin Pop Music Odyssey: Album Review
Shakira makes surprising turns in regional Mexican, EDM and pop for musical return, 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.'
The singer solidified herself as a pillar of international pop stardom, propelled by her English-language debut “Laundry Service,” in 2001, and in her freshly-released “ Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” she makes a grand re-entrance into society after what she’s openly called the “darkest hours” of her life, ones defined by the tabloid gossip surrounding her finances and very public breakup with soccer player Gerard Piqué. On her 12th studio album, Shakira fully invests in these cross-genre marvels — songs with rapper Cardi B, Tejano band Grupo Frontera, Mexican corridos group Fuerza Regida and EDM masters Bizarrap and Tiesto, among others — that together represent the soundscape of current-day Latin pop. Shakira says she created this album as a means of therapy — exorcising any last bit of sorrow attached to her last few years — but, in the scope of the singer’s international legacy, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” is the updated testament to her successful track record.
