The Buildup

A lot has happened to Shakira since she released last studio album—the Spanglish Sale el Sol—in 2010: She separated from her partner of 11 years, started dating soccer star Gerard Pique, gave birth to a baby boy, took over for Christina Aguilera on The Voice for two seasons and survived a vicious sea lion attack.

Girl has gone through a lot. The Colombia native says the nearly four-year gap between Sale el Sol and her upcoming self-titled album has been a period of rediscovery. "Throughout the course of creating this body of work, I learned a lot about myself," she wrote on Facebook of her 10th studio LP. "This album has spanned a very eventful time, with many ups and downs, but ultimately, the happiest period in my life thus far. Though I didn't realize it at the time, all the directions I began exploring in the initial phases of recording were helping to pave a path for me of rediscovery.

"I realized that I will always be a little bit of everything and I don't have to choose. I am sometimes extremely sensitive, sometimes upbeat, others dreamy and romantic, and even at times a little melodramatic. (Call it the Caribbean blood.) But always authentic and always sincere."

Shaki says recognizing her multiple personalities and moods helped inspire a multigenre record. She described Shakira as "a little bit of rock, a little bit of folk, a little reggae and naturally some dance—but as always, and above all, a lot of heart."
