But if you take away the Zeppelin-esque crunch of the Glen Ballard-penned ballad “The One” and the sinuous chants of the Lebanese-flavored “Eyes Like Yours,” you’ll see that, for now, at least, Shakira’s magic is lost in translation. Shakira’s voice is a wild and beautiful instrument, and she’s capable of delivering scorching moments of musical passion, as her live performances have amply demonstrated. ây cng là a hát u tiên trong s nghip ca n ca s c thu âm ch yu bng ting Anh. Equally misdirected are her efforts to spice things up with obvious touches of Latin American folklore (the opening “Objection” sounds like a cross between “Livin’ la Vida Loca” and an Astor Piazzolla tango). Laundry Service là album phòng thu th nm ca ngh s thu âm ngi Colombia Shakira, phát hành ngày 13 tháng bi Epic Records. Surrounded by a battalion of producers and songwriters, the twenty-four-year-old yodeling diva can’t quite overcome the pedestrian nature of most of the material at hand, the bulk of which she co-wrote. A native of Columbia and of Lebanese decent, this is one talented individual who has written, produced and sung Laundry Service to make it one of the more interesting albums to come out this month (released Main UK). On her English-language debut, she sounds downright silly, but the blame is not entirely hers. Shakiras first English language album comes six years and eight-million album sales into her world-spanning career. On the spanish-language albums that elevated her to Latin-rock-goddess status, Shakira Mebarak sounded playful, bohemian and rebellious.
