It began in June with the release of her history-making debut Fijacion Oral, vol. 1 and the smash single “La Tortura” which has not moved from its #1 spot on the U.S. Latin chart in over 19 weeks. And now, as promised, Shakira is back with her first English language album since the 13 million selling Laundry Service. The latest album Oral Fixation, vol. 2 is a new body of work which will be released November 29th on Epic Records.

Written and produced by Shakira - along with longtime collaborators Gustavo Cerati, Lester Mendez, Luis Ochoa, and Tim Mitchell -Oral Fixation vol. 2 finds Shakira at an all time creative high. Over the last two years, Shakira penned over sixty new songs; ten critically acclaimed Spanish songs comprise on Fijacion Oral, vol. 1 (which has already sold 3 million copies so far) and a batch of new English songs now make up Oral Fixation, vol. 2. The album also contains two English renditions of “Dia Especial” and “Make Me Believe” from Fijacion Oral, vol. 1 and a new song “Illegal” featuring the legendary Carlos Santana. Both albums are executive produced by Rick Rubin.”
