Colombia’s pop star legend, Shakira, is embracing her new state of freedom with open arms and unsheathed, singing the tune of newfound singleness. Loud and clear since her publicized break with former soccer player Gerard Piqué, the pop diva declared the new chapter of life she now embarks oneself-liberation and independence. “A woman alone is the happiest”, the singer declared at a recent party, setting the tone for her latest chapter as well as the themes that will dominate her new album.
The party, with an intimate guest list, featured some of Shakira’s closest friends, among them internationally famous model Winnie Harlow. The group danced to the beat of Shakira’s new track, a song with tropical pop vibrancy that captures the essence of freedom and happiness. This single is a classic celebratory anthem, with its catchy chorus and sun-soaked rhythms, as the newly released single celebrates independence while advancing the empowerment that could accrue from living life on one’s terms. Though no music video has been released for the song yet, the party atmosphere the video hinted at was the mood Shakira aims to convey with this new single release.
Shakira-the lady of energetic beats and dynamic performances- has had a not-so-easy two years. The split with Piqué, to whom she has two children, is already in the headlines, but it seems the Latin star is moving on as well as she has announced, reflecting on how this personal journey of separation inspired her through the music in the new album, a reflection on her sound and the lyrical content.
During the celebrations with white letters on a luxury yacht, Shakira and her friends danced to the unreleased song. It was a sleekly laid-back, glamorous night, as guests were enjoying the beats, dances, and the fill of colors energized into the performance by the star. In a tropical outfit, Shakira radiated when hosting the party because she reflected her newfound self and personal freedom.
Shakira has indicated in her statement that this album is a turning point for her. From her rich versatility in different genres, she has started choosing tracks that have deeper emotional stories to tell, including those of freedom and discovery after falling out of love. Shakira noted in interviews how music has become her powerful only tool of expression regarding her personal life’s emotional highlands and lowlands.
Her anthem of independence rings through so many people’s ears, especially in a society where one’s relationship orientation is reflected in their definition of happiness. Shakira flips this narrative on her head with this new song because, through it, she shows that a lady can very well be truly, happily herself. Her bold declaration to be alone, declaring themselves the happiest is a rallying anthem for those who hold dear to their growth and self-love regardless of their marriage status.
The song itself has a carefree, tropical personality, it almost sounds like Shakira and her ways with rhythmic music. She is essentially tapping into her Colombian culture and bringing it together with how pop is going to sound today. The whole tone is indicative of “self-empowerment,” inviting listeners to dance, sing, and live life, be it with someone or by oneself.
This newest celebration also solidifies her long-held image as an international icon of female empowerment. Throughout all these years, she has been one of the most vocal advocates of women’s rights and education, bringing them to top of the agenda as much as possible. She does this through her music once more, inspiring fans to realize that it is about self-worth and happiness and how one realizes them.
The much-awaited music video of the track is yet to be released, but there is stiff anticipation. Fans expect a vibrant and powerful story, which is typically associated with Shakira’s artistic style. Her ability to weave meaningful messages with some captivating visuals has, for a long, set her apart in the pop music world.
The party needed to be a celebration of her new music and it also marked an important date for Shakira in her personal life. Surrounded by such supporting friends and fans, the call by Shakira for self-liberation is loud and clear. She is thriving in the challenges that have come by the way of her breakup with Piqué, channeling pain into an anthem of joy and freedom.
Of course, even her friendships, such as the ones with Winnie Harlow model barriers-breakers and redefiners of all things present a kind of symbolism that Shakira projects onto her person. These two women, along with the party crowd, brought an outer celebration to her inner power and confidence.
With her new songs, Shakira will likely continue themes of independence, self-love, and empowerment. With millions of fans worldwide, her latest single will surely be another global hit, inspiring listeners everywhere to dance, sing, and celebrate their journey, wherever they are in life.
Shakira, throughout her musical career, has always had one talent: to translate personal experience into universal relatability via songs. Now, she is cementing herself as an icon in women everywhere with her stand on independence and empowerment. From her music to her lifestyle, Shakira proves that happiness comes from within; most of the time, the biggest joy comes from celebrating who you are on your own.
