SHAKIRA: Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (RCA)
Touted as her big breakup album, the Colombian's first effort in seven years jumps unevenly between genres.
Sung almost entirely in Spanish — its title translates as Women Don't Cry Anymore — it finds Shakira calling out the alleged infidelity of her ex-partner, footballer Gerard Piqué, on dance-pop track Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 ('You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo,' she sings) and deploying double entendres with rapper Cardi B on Punteria.
Piano ballad Ultima is a highlight, but the quirkiest tracks are collaborations with Mexican-American bands Grupo Frontera and Fuerza Regida.
