There’s nothing like going behind-the-scenes with your favorite artists, especially during their creative process. Shakira took to Instagram to share a clip of her and Nicky Jam brainstorming the lyrics for their upcoming song together, Perro Fiel.
The Colombian diva seemed to take more of a leading role in the whole thing, even holding the pen and pad while the two bounced ideas off each other. Fans of Shakira know of her incredible songwriting skills and should be excited to see how this track turns out.
Nicky Jam’s hit song Si Tú La Ves set the stage for an opportunity to create a masterpiece with an iconic artist of Shakira’s caliber. Her worldwide fame could boost the Reggaeton star’s career to a whole new playing field.
Shakira seems to be enjoying herself as well, and it’s not the first time she works with artists of this genre. Her duo performance Chantaje with Maluma, who is Colombian as well, proved that she has what it takes to break into this genre.
Nicky Jam couldn’t stay behind on social media, so he also uploaded a video of Shakira teaching him some moves. The Puerto Rican artist couldn’t help himself and complimented his assets, shouting, ”Yo que soy bien cúlon.” Shakira responded with, ”¿Y yo no?”, but Nicky Jam proceeded to smack his butt, implying that he was more cúlon.
Critics have been trying to make these videos bigger than what they are, using headlines like, ”Shakira Sensual Dance with Nicky Jam” or ”Shakira Dancing with a Man That’s Not Pique”. In the end, Shakira won’t listen to those critics when her song with Nicky Jam breaks records.
The dynamic duo will launch a music video to accompany the upcoming single. Let’s hope it includes more dancing or at least bigger butt competitions! You won’t want to miss this new hit.
Besides bending genres and working with artists of different backgrounds, the Hips Don’t Lie star juggles being married to a soccer player, Gerard Pique, and being a mother of two. She’s 40-years-old now but gives no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
At only 18 years of age, Shakira started the Pies Descalzos foundation that has helped thousands of children in Colombia since 1997. Her philanthropic heart makes her an example to follow for all artists.
