Summer is in full swing, which means that many of the year's biggest releases are dropping. One of the most anticipated songs of the season is "She Wolf", the first single and title track from Shakira's new album, due in October."She Wolf" is a completely unexpected effort from the Spanish songbird. It sounds like nothing on radio at the moment, thanks to its fusion of funk, disco, pop, violins, and even some Enya-esque vocals in the intro. It's midtempo and mellow, yet ready for the dancefloor (a remix would make this epic). Her English has gotten better, while maintaining that sexy, smoldering tone that just leaps off the speakers as she sings about a woman with a dark side (hence the title, She Wolf).
After the global smash that was "Hips Don't Lie", Shakira is ready to take on the music world again with "She Wolf", which is not only a hot summer smash, but a surprisingly agile artistic effort as well.
