First Listen + Video: Shakira & Dizzee Rascal › Loca

Oh Shakira, Shakira. I guess long gone are the days where she used to make good pop/rock music - and take my word, I'm all for artists experimenting with their art, but in this first single from her upcoming mostly-spanish album titled Sale El Sol (out October 19), I think she might be taking too much of a risk. Ok, so latin beats are not my thing - unless I'm at a wedding or my grandmother's house - but one would have thought that 5 years after Hips Don't Lie she'd go back to the style of her earlier days, at least for a change. Honestly, I don't think I'm giving this a try, so it's a No Play for la Loca.

On a side note, isn't she looking a little too skinny in the video? And I'm not talking skinny-hot. Watch below:
