Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 - 1818

Amazon.com It's thrilling--in any language--to hear new music from Colombian superstar Shakira. And it's been a long time coming. Shakira's English crossover opus, Laundry Service, was released in 2001. The Spanish Donde Estan Los Ladrones came three years before that. Fijacion Oral, Volumen 1 is the first of two new discs; an English counterpart is due in November. Shakira's bleating, biting voice is in fine form, and it gives the material an electric urgency. She's girlish and innocent during the glittering "Dia de Enero" and sensual and seductive amid the thundering beats of "Lo Imprescindible." A talented stable of producers, including former Soda Stereo vocalist Gustavo Cerati, has swathed Shakira in rhythm-based arrangements. But the album's best moments come when Shakira channels her inner--and innate--rock goddess. "La Tortura" is a hurts-so-good break-up duet with Alejandro Sanz, and "Escondite Ingles" rides a beach-party guitar groove. --Joey Guerra Product Description Shakira will be releasing 2 CD this year, the first album Fijacion Oral 1, a Spanish language album in the summer. Then It will be followed up in November 2005 with the English language album Oral Fixation 2. Both albums will be released by Epic Records.

At the age of 13, she signed her first recording contract with Sony Music Colombia and released her first album "Magia" ("Magic"). After graduating from secondary school, Shakira decided to dedicate her life to the music, recording "Peligro" ("Danger") and "Pies Descalzos", ("Barefeet") in the years that followed. Later came a Grammy and two Latin Grammys, and in 2001, Shakira knocked the entire world off its feet with her first English album "Laundry Service", which went on to sell over 12 million copies. Now, the maverick musician, singer, songwriter and producer is ready with a newly created opus of music in two languages. This new body of work will be released in two distinctive parts; this first album "Fijacisn Oral Vol 1" will be followed by the English-language album "Oral Fixation 2".
