Global superstar Shakira has taken the music world by storm once again with her electrifying 12th studio album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), released on March 22, 2024. This highly anticipated album marks her triumphant return to the music scene after a nearly seven-year hiatus, following the release of her critically acclaimed 2017 album "El Dorado."
As far as I know that Shakira's voice is classified as a contralto. This vocal range is typically the lowest female register, known for its richness and depth. However, Shakira's strength goes beyond the typical contralto. She possesses a powerful and raspy chest voice that can also be quite soft and expressive. She also has a strong and clear falsetto that adds another dimension to her singing, it resonance cavities in your skull. This versatility and unique blend of techniques contribute to her signature sound that I always loved the most.
New Album "Las Mujeres Ya No
"Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" is a captivating blend of genres, showcasing Shakira's signature Latin pop sound infused with elements of bachata, rock, electronic dance music, and regional Mexican music. This eclectic mix reflects the artist's diverse musical influences and her ability to seamlessly blend different styles, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
