Shakira has announced her first new album in seven years. Due out March 22, the follow-up to 2017’s El Dorado is titled Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (“Women Don’t Cry Anymore”). According to a press release, the project comprises 16 tracks: eight new songs, a remix, and seven previously released singles, including “Music Sessions Vol. 53” (with Bizarrap), “TQG” (with Karol G), and “Te Felicito” (with Rauw Alejandro).

Despite dropping a live album from her “El Dorado” tour, a deluxe 20th-anniversary edition of her first English language album Laundry Service, and a number of singles between the release of her last album and this one — as well as co-headlining the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Jennifer Lopez and performing a show-stopping, career-spanning set at the 2023 MTV VMAs — Shakira has mainly made the news for her extramusical activities over the past few years.
Tabloids feasted on the details of the Colombian diva’s messy breakup with Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué. And she’s been the subject of two separate tax evasion investigations in Spain, ultimately shelling out the equivalent of $7.6 million in November to avoid prison.
