Shakira’s Empire domination in America has dwindled since she became a hip-swiveling goddess of festive pop hits like “Whenever, Wherever” and “Hips Don’t Lie.” Already a superstar in her native Colombia, the multitalented singer-songwriter-instrumentalist took the American pop scene by storm when she made her U.S. language debut in 2001 with personal, rich songs about romance and more. But her recent albums haven’t matched the spark, edge and charisma from her work a decade ago, and her new self-titled release, while enjoyable at times, doesn’t showcase this Grammy-winning, Golden Globe-nominated superstar in the right light. “Shakira,” her tenth album, features the 37-year-old taking a back seat as lead songwriter and producer, and that doesn’t come off as a wise move. While Shakira’s stint as a judge on “The Voice” has been pleasurable to watch, her duet with fellow mentor Blake Shelton on the country-feeling “Medicine” is a bore, though it was co-written by Academy Award nominee and hit country songwriter Hillary Lindsey.
