על האלבום החדש! ועל סוג השירים!
The colombian (singer) shines fresher and also younger than in her previous discs. Listening to her fiancי's advice, she decided to use less make-up and the best thing is that it works very well on her. Clean face, barefoot and torn blue jeans give her a sweet kind of '60 style, much in phase with her disc. The fact is that Fijaciףn Oral is a meeting/fusion with nostalgia, a retro disc which opens a new path to the music of the major diva of the Latin American rocl. The 11 songs which make part of it show that the range of musical references of Shakira grows up every day. Now, she's very into the French music of end '60 and in her disc, there is an alternance of balads with some more tempo-songs like "La Tortura", the single which can be listened now in the radios. "Pura Intuiciףn", for example is a song about sophisticated love which have some moments where the classic Wicked Game by Chris Isaac is evoked and others where she replies to Serge Gainsbourg, with whispers in French. "La Pared" is probably her most visceral song. There are two versions in the CD, one more electronic and the other accoustic, with a piano on first hear. The latter can end up being a third single. "No" is one of the two songs where Gustavo Cerati intervenes. The thing which distinguishes him from all others is when guitars is being played. The other song with the ex leader of Soda Stereo is "Esperado", the only one where Shakira co-writes the lyrics. "Para Obtener Un Sם" is her entrance door to the sophisticated world of the "bossa nova". An elegant song which includes a group of 63 violins, led by the prestigious Jorge Calandrelli, nominated to the Oscars in 2000 for the song Wo Hu Can Long of the movie Crouching Tigger, Hidden Dragon. "Escondite" is one of her most energy-giving pieces and to define it, two of the fundamental groups of the New Wave of beginning '80 needs to be talked about: Talking Heads and B'52's. "Dםa De Enero" is her most emotive composition and where you can easily find out that it's an homage to her fiancי. It's one of the most commercial (songs) and could be the second single of the album Fijaciףn Oral shows an aventurous Shakira, more relaxed on the musical plane. She doesn't need an international recognition and so, she bids on music.
