Shakira's latest song's videos: Ever-quaking pop star Shakira recently released the single “Loca”. The hit featured the machine-gun-paced staccato vocals of U.K. grime artist Dizzee Rascal, and an awesome cover of xx‘s song – “Island.”

Like caviar or beer, she’s an acquired taste. Her vocals are incredibly stylistic. Half the time she sounds like an amped up Jewel or Sarah Maclachlan. The other half she sounds like a Celtic princess.

The princess rises in “Sale El Sol.” It’s the stuff not meant for the dancefloor that lets Shakira shine, and we love it when she gets emotional in ballads. Watch her latest video, and tell us what you fancy better, the “Loca” Shakira, or power ballads like “Sale El Sol.”
