shakira feat carlinhos brown - la la la (brazil 2014) (spanish version)
with the english version grabbing over 52 million hits in just a week, world cup fever is definitely on people's minds! of the tracks for this massive event, this one is definitely one of my favorite ones (with shakira once again doing the honors). i personally prefer her songs in spanish, but if you really want to hear it in english, click on the video below:
shakira feat carlinhos brown - la la la (brazil 2014) (english version)
shakira - empire
shakira's most alt-rock track to date, it's actually a joy to see the most liked artist on facebook (86 mil!) continually try new things to entertain both herself and her fans. great song.
shakira - nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
the english version of 'can't remember to forget you' with riri didn't fare as well as expected, so here's hoping the spanish one will do chart wonders (cause i kind of prefer this version more)...
shakira feat rihanna - can't remember to forget you
so hawt that i actually let out two 'oh my gosh' gasps while watching this video! further proof that this pairing is perfect.
shakira feat rihanna - can't remember to forget you
it's been almost 4 years since we had new english material from shakira, but she kicks of 2014 with it's first official pop event with this reggae/rock duet avec riri (who is also due with some new material of her own this year) the gals look amazing together on the cover art, so you can only imagine the sapphic undertones for the upcoming video... nice one.
shakira feat pitbull - rabiosa
[i like this song and all (plus she looks great pole dancing!)... but how is this different from her previous single 'loca'?]
shakira feat dizzee rascal - loca
[now THIS is the kind of shakira that we love to celebrate, cheeky with side of wonderful musicality thrown in. plus my boy dizzee crosses the pond and enters the international arena with his appearance. a brilliant piece of pop if you ask me!]
shakira - islands (the xx cover)(live @ glastonbury 2010)
[who'd of thought that good ol shakira was an xx fan? making her 1st ever appearance at glasto, shaks surprised her audience with this breezy cover.]
shakira - gypsy [bless tennis champion rafael nadal for playing the role of 'boyfriend' in this video, but their on screen chemistry is so one sided (with shakira doing all the work). luckily the song is so darn catchy, so it doesn't really matter!]
shakira - gypsy (freemasons remix) [wow, the freemasons drop their cheesy hi-nrg remix style and offers up a more lively rendition of shakira's insanely catchy song. i kind of like this version better than the original (and i LIKED the original). great job boys!]
shakira feat kid cudi - did it again (benny benassi remix)
[i like the big room club sound, but i still think there is a hot song just enhancing the beats from the original version]
shakira - do it again [at least this pop diva dances! i just wish the song wasn't so weak and tin-ny. i'm really hoping someone goes in and gives the track some proper block rocking beats to make it a killer song]
after going on vacation and coming back to a laptop totally f**ked up, i'm entering the new year with limited access to everything. so hopefully you'll be ok (for now) with these latest videos by these hot mamas.
beyonce & shakira - beautiful liar
timbaland feat nelly furtado & justin timbalake - give it to me
it's an eclectic video mix today but with enough gems to entertain you for a good 10 minutes!
alejandro sanz feat shakira - Te Lo Agradezco Pero No [thanks to kevipod for the heads up, spanish cutie alejandro sanz reunites with his 'la tortura' partner shakira in a much more adult contemporary collaboration. his scratchy voice (and crap video) irritates me, but one look at his smile and all is forgiven... sigh, there he does it again...]
badly drawn boy - journey from a to b [though BDB hasn't released an album as amazing as his debut the hour of the bewilderbeast, i'm still constantly curious as to what this talent has to offer each time. this is damon gough's 3rd single off his latest born in the uk]
jamie t - calm down dearest [at only 21, this uk singer/rapper/songwriter made a name for himself on the london underground scene by passing on his mixtapes to anyone who'd listen. obviously his ploy worked cause he not only got signed to virgin records, but playlisted by influential dj's zane lowe and jo whiley on their radio shows. this is his 3rd single which i didn't really get at first, but now after a few listens i'm kind of won over. btw, the boy is CUTE!!!!]
husky rescue - nightless night [marco nyberg and his finnish posse release yet another single off their left of center album ghost is not real. to put them under electronica is not really fair as the group also delve into country and rockabilly. like i said, left of center, but always in a good way]
wintersleep - jaws of life [(thanks to the sxsw 2006 site for the mp3) though the album was released all the way back in late 2005, it looks like buzz for the halifax indie quartet are slowly making it stateside. based on this wonderful song alone, i'm hoping some label will make it happen!]
and finally one for the beatheads:
erickE - the beat is rockin [crap video, but has potential to be the next fedde le grand on the dancefloor]
