The Shakira Conspiracy
Shakira is back on the Billboard Hot 100 \u2013 thanks to the help of Argentinian producer Bizarrap. Together, their song \u201cShakira: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53,\u201d is layered with musical and lyrical references, from the callbacks to \u201cShe Wolf\u201d to the multiple beat switches. It also works to play into something larger: something akin to a pop music conspiracy. On this episode of Switched On Pop, we take a closer look at Shakira\u2019s latest, and how it\u2019s indicative of a larger metatextual shift in pop music.\xa0\n\nSongs Discussed:\n\nShakira, Bizarrap \u2013 Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53\n\nShakira \u2013 Vuelve\n\nAlanis Morrisette \u2013 Not The Doctor\n\nShakira \u2013 Whenever, Wherever\n\nShakira, Alejandro Sanz \u2013\xa0La Tortura\n\nShakira, Wyclef Jean \u2013 Hips Don\u2019t Lie\n\nShakira \u2013\xa0She Wolf\n\nThe Weeknd \u2013\xa0Blinding Lights\n\nGiorgio Moroder \u2013 Palm Springs Drive\n\nLMFAO \u2013 Party Rock Anthem\n\nPascal Letoublon \u2013 Friendships\n\nBeyonc\xe9 \u2013 Sorry\n\nTaylor Swift \u2013 All Too Well\n\nOlivia Rodrigo \u2013 Driver\u2019s License\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
