Many have said Shakira is channelling another beloved Latin superstar, Selena Quintanilla in the recent video, due to her dancing in a very similar style. Her voice has also reached levels we didn’t think possible, with Rolling stone stating “Shakira’s voice occasionally reaches a peak where it feels like it could bend and snap but it doesn’t – and the results are intrinsic growls, raw and magnetic.”

After the turmoil Shakira has faced in the public eye in the last few years, the album is being taking as demonstration of her strength and resilience. With one interviewee stating “In Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Shakira finally gets to turn the page on these tempestuous past two years, and reintroduce herself — not as Shakira the soccer mom, nor Shakira the heartbroken — but Shakira fucking Mebarak, international pop icon and undefeated champ,” The record was portrayed by NME as “her most adventurous album… an empowering comeback. She continues to push the envelope for Latin pop music and make the genre a global event”.
