Shakira shoots in Ibiza + The xx collaboration in the works.

A fluro pink Shakira was snapped on the set of a new photoshoot in Ibiza yesterday.
It’s not yet been revealed exactly what the shoot was for, but with a new album Sale El Sol (Translation: Sunrise) on the way, there’s a good chance that it could be related to that.
The album is currently due this September, and will be bilingual just like Enrique’s latest record Euphoria. According to Glamor magazine, it will only include three English tracks, but I’d wait until the official tracklisting is unveiled before jumping the gun.
Meanwhile, I was flipping through the latest issue of Q magazine this week, and they reported that Shakira is actually set to collaborate with indie band The xx. They didn’t go into much detail, just mentioning that it was happening and quoting Shakira as saying, “I’m not sure I’m supposed to talk about it”. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you would’ve heard Shakira’s fabulous cover of The xx’s “Islands”. Perhaps her collaboration means that she’s including the song on her next album?
