I think Shakira has enough talent that she doesn’t have to be showing all that skin, but the scantly clad cage bits, and the half cat suit really show off her unique, and super flexible dance moves in her newest video for She Wolf:

I’m reading this book called Medici Effect by Frans Johansson that credits Shakira for effectively finding innovation in music by blending Latin, American and Lebanese culture. She uses the intersection between the cultures that have influences her to create something completely new. Its an interesting book tackling the difficult topic of creativity and innovation.

Shakira’s album that She Wolf is to be from is due out in October this year… until then, here’s some remixes of She Wolf:

Apparently, Shakira means “thankful” in Arabic. I like it!
