Washington: Global pop icon Shakira is back with a new album! "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore) will be released on March 22, marking her return after a seven-year absence.
"Making this body of work has been an alchemical process," said Shakira in a statement.
"While writing each song I was rebuilding myself. While singing them, my tears transformed into diamonds, and my vulnerability into strength," as per Variety, a US-based media outlet.
The new album consists of 16 tracks, eight new songs and a remix, including seven previously released singles: 'Music Sessions Vol. 53' with Bizarrap; 'TQG' with Karol G; 'Te Felicito' with Rauw Alejandro; 'Copa Vacia' with Manuel Turizo, and more.
Her last album 'El Dorado,' arrived in 2017 and featured collaborations with Maluma, Nicky Jam, Prince Royce, Carlos Vives, and more.
In the last year, Shakira won song of the year and best pop song for 'Music Sessions Vol. 53' and best urban fusion/performance for 'TQG' at the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards. 'Music Sessions Vol. 53' also became the Spanish language song with the most streams in a single day in Spotify's history.
Shakira was also the recipient of the 2023 Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards where she delivered a 10-minute performance featuring 'She Wolf,' 'Te Felicito,' 'TQG' and more, reported Variety.
