Pop star Shakira to release new Spanish-language album
Monday April 11, 2005
Pop superstar Shakira is releasing a new Spanish-language album, Oral fijación 1, on June 7. A companion English-language album with a similar title, "Oral Fixation 2," will follow shortly afterward. Although the albums were produced more or less simultaneously, they feature different songs.
Both albums will be released by Epic Records.
Said Shakira: "I did not set out to make two albums when I began the writing process but suddenly I realized I had written 60 songs, some in English and some in Spanish. Twenty of these songs were selected and divided up by language to make two different albums."
As Shakira lives a bilingual life, it is no surprise that the songs were written in two languages. She explains: "As I write songs, sometimes they come to me in English and some times they will come to me in Spanish. Many times I let the melody suggest which language the song should be."
