Shakira Gives Updates From Miami Studio Sessions
Shakira has been quietly working on her next album, the followup to 2017’s El Dorado, in the past couple of years. Although the release of “Me Gusta” featuring Anuel AA early last year felt like the start of an era, it seems to have actually been a standalone single. Since then, Shakira had a hit with the Black Eyed Peas on “Girl Like Me” last year. However, how is her next album going? In the past week, Shakira has relocated to Miami to work on new music. She shared a series of posts since last Wednesday, and has worked with writers and producers Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, and The Monsters & Strangerz.
Last Wednesday, Shakira said:
Ready to leave my house to go to my first in-person studio session to meet with some awesome collaborators thanks to safety measures and vaccines. I can’t wait!
The next day, Shakira shared a picture from the Miami studio with the writers and producers she’s working with:
Ok… That was a sweet session with Andrew Watt, Ali Tamposi and the Monsters, having laughs and making real music!
Doesn’t get any better!
Today, she wrote only: 🎙📝🎶 Day 3 ✅

In March, Shakira shared that she was “cooking something” from the vocal booth:
In February, she also shared a humorous video of her procrastinating while alone in her studio:
