It’s been two decades since she sported a fiery red hairstyle for her famous music video “Ojos Asi,” and recently, Shakira decided to bring back that vibrant look. Just last month, the 44-year-old Colombian singer flaunted her freshly dyed bright red locks as she prepared for a recording session. Sharing a snapshot on Instagram, Shakira looked effortlessly chic in a coordinated outfit featuring shades of green and white.
Shakira proudly displayed her newly dyed red hair as she headed to a recording session on Wednesday. Stepping away from her iconic blonde locks, she opted for loose waves that perfectly framed her face. To keep her hair off her face, she adorned a fashionable green headband with a bow tie detail. Continuing to impress with her fashion choices, Shakira wore a trendy striped long-sleeve top that she elegantly tucked into a layered miniskirt. Accentuating her waist, she completed her outfit with a statement-making green belt. Expressing her excitement about the upcoming recording session, Shakira shared in a caption, “I’m all set to leave my house and head to my first in-person studio session. I’m looking forward to meeting talented collaborators, thanks to the safety measures and vaccines. I can’t wait!” In addition to her musical endeavors, Shakira has been actively involved in environmental causes. Recently, she participated in Earth Day by joining the Earthshot Prize Council in signing a letter that urged the world to take action in addressing the planet’s needs, paralleling the dedication seen in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thrilling: Playfully hinting at her upcoming studio session, she expressed in the description: ‘All set to step out of my humble abode for my very first face-to-face studio experience, where I’ll be joining forces with some incredible fellow creators.’
Earlier this month, Shakira joined in the Earth Day celebration by adding her voice to a letter signed by the Earthshot Prize Council, urging the world to take action in healing the planet. In addition to her environmental efforts, Shakira has also been teasing her devoted fans on Instagram with the possibility of new music. She recently shared a photo of herself singing into a recording microphone in front of a music stand, hinting that there is something exciting in the works. With over 70 million followers, she excitedly expressed her anticipation by writing, “Cooking something!” along with its Spanish counterpart, “Cocinando algo!” This update arrives approximately three months after her successful collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas on the song “Girl Like Me.”
Flashback: Two decades have passed since she sported fiery red locks for her sensational music video, Ojos Asi (depicted in the image).
Creating a musical storm: In a recent Instagram tease, Shakira excited her devoted fanbase by hinting at the release of new music. The music video for her latest single has already garnered over 310 million views on YouTube, solidifying its popularity. This track has also reached the top of Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, adding to Shakira’s impressive repertoire of hits. It’s been a while since Shakira released a full studio album, with her last one, El Dorado, dropping in 2017. During this period, the talented artist faced a bout of writer’s block, as well as the joys and challenges of being a mother to her second son, Sasha, born in 2015. Balancing the responsibilities of motherhood and music was no easy task for this sensational artist.
During an interview to promote her album El Dorado, Shakira shared her experience of being in front of a blank canvas and feeling overwhelmed and conflicted. She expressed her desire to spend time with her children while also wanting to fulfill her own artistic needs. Since the release of El Dorado, Shakira has continued to remain active in the public eye, and she made a memorable appearance at the Super Bowl last year. Alongside Jennifer Lopez, she performed during the halftime show, delighting fans with nostalgic hits like “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa).”
Do you recall the time when Shakira last dropped a full-fledged studio album? It dates back to 2017 when she unveiled “El Dorado.” Surprisingly, this release followed a challenging phase where she experienced writer’s block.
