Throughout the 2000s and onwards, Shakira became the melting pot pop star that only she could be, pivoting from one eccentric transformation to the next.
the artist needed to record a predominantly English album rather than a few tracks on a Spanish project — Shakira threw herself into mastering the English language, studying Walt Whitman and Leonard Cohen so she could write songs the way she wanted to. Arriving in American pop with the lead single"Whenever, Wherever," Shakira literally and sonically rooted herself in a transnational pursuit.
The Andean panpipes and charango, paired with her signature yodel, immediately signaled a new kind of Hot 100 hit. The song perfectly captured Shakira's uncategorizable stardom: the way nobody could sing or move quite like her, managing to be both seductive and delightfully weird at the same time, proudly declaring her breasts"small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains.
