Shakira announces album after 7 years

As reported by Variety, Shakira is gearing up to release her first full-length album in seven years on March 22. Titled 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry),' the album's name pays homage to Shakira's renowned line from her Latin Grammy-winning "Music Sessions Vol 53" with Bizarrap.

Taking to Instagram, Shakira offered a glimpse of the album covers alongside a heartfelt message, "My new album, coming out March 22, is one I created together with all of you, my pack of shewolves who were there for me every step of the way. Making this body of work has been an alchemical process. While writing each song I was rebuilding myself. While singing them, my tears transformed into diamonds, and my vulnerability into strength."

In a subsequent post, Shakira delighted fans by unveiling the various editions of her album, stating, "Las mujeres ya no lloran is the first album I’ve released in both digital and vinyl!! I’m very excited to present 16 tracks and 4 different covers and packagings: the diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire editions. Each has different attributes. Emerald is confidence, ruby passion, sapphire vulnerability, and the diamond resilience and strength."

According to Variety, the highly anticipated album comprises 16 tracks, including eight new compositions and a remix, featuring seven previously released singles such as 'Music Sessions Vol. 53' with Bizarrap, and 'TQG' with Karol G', among others.
