She did sound good (well, good enough for Shakira), and at least you can’t say that she didn’t give it her all. Check out her performance below.

Though this song is her second single off of the album internationally, Shakira is not releasing this as the second track in the United States. Rather, a song with Timbaland and Lil Wayne called “Give It Up To Me” is the officially second track in the U.S.

Take a look at her music video for “Did It Again” below. You can buy Shakira’s She Wolf album on November 27th. Additionally, Shakira should be performing on The X Factor on November 15th.

The first song off of the album is “Manos Al Aire”, translated to “hands in the air”, which was just recently released. The second track announced to be following the previous song is called “Bajo Otra Luz.” Her Spanish album is due out on September 15th.

Nelly has also revealed that she has been working with Timbaland yet again for her English album.

She revealed, "I’m also writing an English album. Timbaland and I hooked up in the studio about three months ago and we wrote 20 songs in two days. It was really inspired. I think maybe some of that material will be on my English album."

The songstress also revealed that her record label wanted her to "do a quick and easy Spanish version of the ‘Loose’ material." 

She explains her disapproval, "But I put the breaks on that. I feel like you have to follow your heart because you have more to lose if you compromise and then don’t succeed. But you’ve got to really appreciate success when it comes. With ‘Loose’ I took the time to toast with champagne every number one and every platinum record."

No news yet on when the English album should be released. I’m glad Nelly stuck to what she believes in for the Spanish album. It’s nice to see the less manufactured side of her again.

She said of the album, "’Mi Plan’ is my first full collection of Spanish-language pop songs. The songs explore themes of love and the rhythm of everyday life. The featured special guests will also add a unique touch to the album’s sound. And I am delighted to be working with the entire Universal Latin team on this new project."

The music video has an interesting concept. What’s great about this particular version is that it has English subtitles at the bottom! Check it out!

She says that the timing has to be right, “I really want to reproduce. I am so ready. I really would like to have a big belly, to walk around with my big belly. I can’t bring a little wolf right now to the world in the middle of so many projects. Maybe next year after the tour, who knows?”

She described what her new single meant to her, “I think ‘She Wolf’ has a lot to do with the moment in which I feel I am. I feel much freer now as a woman, a little more in touch with my own desires, and I tend to listen to myself a little more. ‘What does Shakira want?’. Not what everybody else wants, but what do I really want? And I think that the song deep inside is about that.”

According to Shakira, Beyoncé is not the only one to have an alter ego. The Latina singer calls her on-stage personality “She Wolf.” She explains it saying, ”[It’s] like a more animalistic side of you, a more primitive side … an animal person in a way. So when you understand these things you forgive yourself every time you screw up, you say, ‘It wasn’t me, that was the she wolf … that was the animal in me, that wasn’t me, I have nothing to do with that.”

Oh, well, um, when she puts it like that it sounds more like she’s having problems with denial and being accountable for her own actions .

It gets a bit silly towards the end, when they’ve added some artificial additions to the videos. It was fun to watch and gave me a few laughs. The song itself is good as well. It’s definitely catchy and a truthful track. Let me know what you think!

Nelly says, “Recording this album was just a natural progression for me. I wanted my fourth album to be in Spanish. I just didn’t really know when to start and then I met this amazing artist named Alex Cuba in Canada and we started writing songs together by coincidence. Then I realized I was writing songs in Spanish, and before I knew it, I hadn’t written anything in English for a year."

The song that you hear in the background is called “Manos al Aire (Hand in the Air)” and is the first single to be released off the album.

What do you guys think of it? I actually like it. It’s got a nice 70s inspired beat to it. I’m excited to hear what the English version will sound like. It’s something that’s a little different than what we’re used to hearing from Shakira, but I think it sounds good. The howling that appears throughout the song caught me a bit off guard, but it’s cute! Listen to it below!

I like this song! I think it suits her voice well. It’s nice to given a break from all of that mainstream stuff we’ve been hearing from her in the past two or three years. Yet, it’s still catchy enough.  I like the naturalness of it. What do you guys think?

I’m really happy that she’s doing this! I felt a bit that she was losing who she was a bit when she released her 2006 album “Loose.” I thought it was a lot more mainstream than her past works which include, “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light” and “Powerless.”

I’m interested to see how this will turn out!
