Shakira Laundry Service 20th Anniversary 2LP (Opaque Yellow Vinyl)

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of Shakira's hit crossover album, Laundry Service. Originally released on November 13th 2001, The album was written and produced by Shakira and features the #1 single "Suerte (Whenever, Wherever)", "Objection (Tango)" and "Underneath Your Clothes". To commemorate its 20th year, the LP is reissued on an exclusive opaque yellow vinyl.

'Whenever, Wherever,' this album's infectious lead single, is to Shakira what 'Livin' la Vida Loca' was to Ricky Martin: the major hit that brought her to English-speaking audiences in a big way. For Shakira, singing and writing in mostly English was no doubt a challenge - Spanish, after all, is the Colombian star's primary language. But it's a challenge that she handles impressively well. Shakira, it turns out, sings quite convincingly in English - and her creativity is at a high level on melodic, hooky pop/rock like 'Rules' and 'Ready for the Good Times.' ... Laundry Service is an excellent English-language debut for the South American vocalist.
