I bought Shakira's new album, Fijación Oral, Volumen 1, a few weeks ago, and have been really enjoying it. There is a much broader range of styles in the collection of songs. My favourites are the Sinatra-inspired "Obtener Un Sí," and "La Tortura," which is the shamelessly catchy first single. La Tortura also features the Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, who has a distinctively gravelly voice that reminds me of an hispanic Per Gessle.Per Gessle, by the way, is set to release his first solo English-language album. I am excited about this! Another article says that he may even go on a a "European/Swedish club tour" after a possible worldwide release in January. I have been thinking about taking my first overseas trip next year, and this might be a cool way to do it.
