I definitely think that Shakira sounds much better in all of her Spanish songs, at least on this album. It is very slow and kind of somber, but it is a very great song. “Underneath Your Clothes” was definitely one of the most popular of the songs on this CD in the United States. There are lines that seem kind of nonsensical, but it is a good song nonetheless. It is one of those songs that contains phrases that may have made more sense in Spanish. The lyrics to “Poem to a Horse” seem kind of silly. This song has an awesome music video to go with it where Shakira pretends to be a bullfighter. The album that means “I leave you Madrid”. “Te Dejo Madrid” is another Spanish song on. Even though I do not speak fluent Spanish, I love the message that this song sends. It basically means “As Long as You Stay With Me” and is about being alright no matter the circumstances just as long as the person you love is right there by your side. It was very successful on the Latin Billboard charts but never really became popular in the United States. I am glad that she decided to include it on Laundry Service. This is a song that was first on another album. “Que Me Quedes Tu” is one of my favorite songs of all time, not to mention my favorite on this album. This album has songs in both English and Spanish. Whenever or wherever, she wants to be with her lover. It is about being together no matter what. Popularity really started and I am glad that she made the decision to cross over to recording songs in English. It was originally written in Spanish (with a song called “Suerte”) so she recorded a second version of it. That was one of the very first English songs that she released. “Whenever Wherever” was the major hit off of “Laundry Service”. Many people no longer listen to the hits that came from that album, but it was definitely a great achievement in her career.
One of her very first albums was “Laundry Service” and I think it has been her best out of her entire career. Her music video for “She Wolf” was proof of the fact that she is one of the best dancers that the music industry has ever seen, comparable to Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. She has always been one of my favorite female recording artists because she is an amazing vocalist as well as an extremely talented dancer. but, to me, the fundamental essence of a song lies in its melody and lyrics.All reviews Support Shakira is one of those artists who has been extremely successful yet somehow manages to fly under the radar until she has huge hits like “She Wolf” or “Beautiful Liar”. "technology scares me," concedes shakira, "we live surrounded by a battalion of sounds, engaged in an ostentatious display of new recording techniques. it is shakira's fuss-free and original style anchored with crackling anthems on the fuzzy sounds of a cranked-up guitar and her gutsy vocals which set her apart. not surprisingly, she was chosen among dozens of female latino singers to grace the cover of time magazine for an article titled era of the rockera. somehow, my music is a fusion of elements which co-exist in the same place, in the same song." shakira's music is music with a difference. "i was born and brought up in colombia, but was always tuned in to led zeppelin, cure, police, the beatles and nirvana," says shakira, "i fell in love with the sound of rock but also developed a taste for arabic tastes and sounds since my father is of lebanese descent. music, of course, courted shakira's childhood and, by the age of 13, she had signed a record deal with sony, which resulted in the release of her maiden album magia (magic), a compilation of songs she penned between the ages of eight and 13. being in love has made me feel young again!" born shakira mebarak ripoll in the coastal city of barranquilla in colombia, this blend of talent and charisma is the daughter of a colombian mother and a lebanese father. "till a few months ago, i was feeling like an old lady. with antonio de la r'ua, the son of the argentine president. i had a slightly narrow vision of love, but now i feel unguarded, and it feels great! i feel washed clean of the way i looked at things in the past, which is why i called the album laundry service." and, as the romantic lyrics of her songs portray, shakira is in love. laundry service? "i am celebrating life more than ever. What do you get when you mix a bit of jlo, mariah carey and christina aguilera? well, you get the 24-year-old winner of the 2000 grammy for best latin pop album donde estan los ladrrones? meet shakira who, after she burst on the latino music scene in 1996 with the release of pies descalzos, has turned the pop world upside down with her path-breaking maiden english album laundry service.
