I've heard of previews for movies, theatre productions, and recordings, but music videos? Something must be really good for a director to leak 30 seconds of a music video ahead of the finished product, right? After watching the sneak peak of Shakira's latest single "Gitana" (which translates to "Gypsy"), I can see the excitement.
The Colombian pop super star, is seen her her usual mid-drift baring garb smiling coyly at the camera while lounging amorously with tennis champion Rafael Nadal. In sepia-inspired tones, the video sample only shows the chorus of the song in which Shakira sings, "aprovéchame, que si llegué ayer me puedo ir mañana; que soy gitana." I'm looking forward to seeing the entire thing; until then, I'll just have to loop the sample over and over...

*Roughly translated as "take advantage of me, for if I arrived yesterday I can go tomorrow; I'm a gypsy."

MUSIC: Mi Plan
Since Canadian singer songwriter, Nelly Furtado, burst on to the international music scene in 2000 with her infectious single "I'm Like A Bird," she has been a force in the industry. Constantly changing and refreshing her style, Furtado never seems to stay in one musical moment too long.
Occasionally singing in the language of her Portuguese-born parents, Furtado has a also dabbled with some Spanish songs on her past albums. She has also collaborated on several records with Colombian rocker Juanes on his singles "Fotografía" and "Te Busqué." After this introduction to the Spanish-speaking market, the timing seems only right that Furtado puts out her first completely non-English album, Mi Plan.
The first single off the album, "Manos al Aire," finds Furtado listing the reasons she is giving up on a toxic relationship. Other highlights of the album include a beautiful duet with Mexican singer, Alejandro Fernández, "Sueños," and the upbeat titular track with Cuban-Canadian singer Alex Cuba.
Whether you understand the Spanish language or not, this is an incredible album to add to your collection. Great songs, rhythms, and melodies have no language requirements.
