It is no secret that Shakira, according to her own sayings, sounds like a goat.“Before my third album, they warned me that if nothing really happened, they were going to drop me,” Shakira said. “I knew it was my last chance, so I took control."
“I started to get more involved with production. I started to use my own influences. My music was influenced more by the Anglo-Saxons than the local tropical or Latin roots.”
“When I was singing in Spanish, I had a more rock’n'roll attitude. I was very inflexible, very rigid in many aspects.”
“There were things that would be completely unacceptable to me, like wearing a leotard, or showing my legs. I was more of a purist then.”
The result? Her third album was sold in five million copies and with her fourth album, Shakira set a new personal record, selling 13 million copies worldwide.
