Shakira returns to release new album 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran'

Shakira, the iconic pop sensation, has set the music world abuzz with her latest announcement: after a seven-year hiatus, she's roaring back onto the scene with her upcoming album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry), set to drop on March 22 under Sony Latin. 

The anticipation only grows as fans get a sneak peek at not one, but four different album covers, each showcasing her petite 5ft2in frame adorned in eye-catching breast plates and leggings, curated by stylist Nicolas Bru.

The 47-year-old songstress, known for her timeless beauty, reveals her flawless appearance on the covers, thanks to the skilled hands of her personal glam guru, Beatriz Matallana. 

In a message to her 'pack of shewolves,' the artist opens up about the profound emotional journey behind her 12th studio album, describing it as an 'alchemical process.' 

With each song penned, she found herself rebuilding from within, transforming tears into diamonds and vulnerability into unwavering strength. 

Despite facing personal trials in recent years, including a public split in 2022 from her partner of 12 years, retired soccer star Gerard Piqué, Shakira remains resilient on her musical journey.

Reports of domestic discord, including a quirky incident involving an uneaten jar of jam, surfaced during the breakup. 

Yet, Shakira and Piqué prioritized their children's well-being, reaching a custody agreement for their two sons, Milan and Sasha.
