Shakira Sale El Sol 2LP (Hot Pink Vinyl)

Shakira returned to her Latin pop roots on her 2010 album Sale El Sol, now available on vinyl for the first time globally on vibrant hot pink vinyl. This album boasts a fusion of merengue, bachata, rock and more — and includes fan favorites "Loca," "Rabiosa" and "Addicted to You." This vinyl pressing also includes Shakira's global sensation, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)."

At the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, Sale el Sol was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Album, winning the award in the latter category.

Opening with a dose of anthemic soft rock in its title track, Sale el Sol eventually winds its way through the dancefloor ('Loca,' 'Gordita'), catches its breath on the ballad 'Antes de las Seis,' offers up an infectious piece of pure pop in the vein of the New Radicals on 'Mariposas,' beats all U2-inspired arena rockers at their own game on 'Devoción,' adopts a cool new wave pulse on 'Tu Boca,' and finds warmth within the art pop of the xx, whose 'Islands' is a shimmering peak here. Despite all these sounds, Sale el Sol never once sounds disparate or overworked — it's sunny and easy, its natural buoyancy disguising Shakira's range and skill — but listen closely and it becomes apparent that nobody makes better pop records in the new millennium than she does.
