Colombian singer Shakira has been pouring her heart into her music since separating from longtime partner Gerard Pique. The breakup has inspired several singles dealing with the pain of the split, including “Te Felicito”, “Monotonia”, and songs from her “Bzrp Music Sessions” collab.
It’s reported that Shakira has been working on her 12th studio album, with more songs expected to mine the emotions of her recent relationship ending. The cryptic messages in her past releases point to her using the heartbreak as a source of inspiration.
In September, Shakira commented on feeling extra creative in the studio. While she thought the album was finished, every session finding new music being crafted from this period of reflection and emotion. Rumors suggest collaborations with artists like Bizarrap, Karol G, Bad Bunny and Rosalia may end up on the release as well.
Fans are waiting to see how Shakira’s music will evolve after this transition in her personal life. In happier times, her 2017 album “El Dorado” referenced Pique with affection. Now, her art seems to be processing the end of that chapter through her powerful songwriting.
