At this point we can confirm that 2023 is Shakira’s year. The Colombian star has become one of the most listened to artists of the moment thanks to the hits that she has not stopped chaining. Since the Latin star launched Te Felalo in the summer of 2022, her name has not stopped playing on the radio and in the main playlists in the world. And the singer has a gift for making great songs!
This 2023, without going any further, Shakira has not only become the protagonist of the latest installment of the VMAs, being the artist awarded for her career; She has also become the top Latin Grammy nominee along with Karol G with 7 nominations. But there is still a lot of Shakira left until she finishes the year. How do we know? Because of the statements she gave in her last interview for Billboard.
The artist, who has not stopped reinventing herself in the last year after her separation from Gerard Piqué, has revealed that she feels “like a cat with nine lives”: “When I think I am no longer recovering, suddenly I get up and have a second wind. I’ve been through several stages. Denial, anger, pain, frustration, anger again, pain again. Now I’m in a survival stage. Of ‘keep your head above water’ “And in a stage of reflection. And now it is a stage of hard work and all the time I am with my children, I am with them.”
Shakira talks about her new life in Miami
To start, Shakira has talked about what her new life is like in Miami. The Colombian has explained that both she and her children are adapting perfectly. In fact, she recognizes that in Barcelona, Sasha and Milan felt very strongly about being “children of.” “We had the paparazzi at the door of the house every day, every day. Here they are ordinary children who enjoy normality,” says the singer. As for her routine, the one from Barranquilla assures that she continues to adapt, but that she feels more social than ever:
“I have never gone to so many sporting events in my life. And then, when they are with their dad, I take the opportunity to work from morning to night and at night I have a margarita with my friends.”

The reason why he hasn’t worked as much these years
Shakira has opened up to Billboard and talked about reasons why she hasn’t been as focused on music in the last decade. “Being in Barcelona it was very difficult to attend to my professional life. It was more complicated logistically for a collaborator to come. I had to wait for the agendas to coincide or for someone to deign to stop by Barcelona, or be willing or able to accommodate me so I could work from my studio,” Shakira said.
Now, between Miami and Los Angeles, the one from Barranquilla only has to make a call to record in the studio and create new music. The singer remembers that until she separated from the soccer player she believed in “until death do us part”:
“Because my parents have also been together for, I don’t know, 50 years. And they love each other like the first day. So I know that it is possible. They love each other with a soap opera love. With a unique, unrepeatable love. My mother does not abandon the side of my father. They have always been my example and it was what I wanted for myself and my children, but it was not possible. If life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade. And that is what I am making: lemonade.”
About his next song: El Jefe
A few days ago we were able to hear a small preview of the song El Jefe. This is a collaboration with the Mexican group Fuerza Regida. The singer describes the sound as a Mexican ska, fresh and original: “It has a lot of energy. This song came up and we said: ‘Wow, who can be on this song?’ It’s a protest song, and I would say it’s about the abuse of power. So we thought of Fuerza Regida. His voice [JOP] It’s very special. We wrote to them, and they came the next day.”
Shakira has also taken stock of her successful session with Bizarrap. “When I did the session, the people on my team told me: ‘Please change this, don’t even think about coming out with these lyrics.’ And I said: ‘But why? ‘I’m not a United Nations diplomat; I am an artist and I have every right to elaborate my emotions. It is my catharsis, it is my therapy, but I also know that it is the therapy of many people; I am a voice for many people. And I don’t say that in a pretentious way, but yes realistic,” says the singer.
Without a doubt, Shakira is in one of her best professional moments, making history at 46 years old. And we celebrate her achievements!
