Data Insight

Shakira. is the artist's first self-titled album and her most pop-oriented English-language record, written and recorded largely while she was a coach on The Voice. Shakira co-wrote most of the album with a roster of pop hitmakers including Steve Mac, Ina Wroldsen, Nasri and Adam Messinger of MAGIC!, Sia and Dr. Luke. The lead single 'Can't Remember to Forget You' pairs her with Rihanna, while country star Blake Shelton duets on 'Medicine,' reflecting the album's genre-spanning approach. Despite the outside collaborators, Shakira retains writing credit across the bulk of the tracklist.
