Shakira Band: Shakira
Title: Oral Fixation Vol. 2
Rating:
Release Date: 2006-04-18
Media: Audio CD

Tracks: 1: How Do You Do 2: Illegal (featuring Carlos Santana) 3: Hips Don't Lie (new bonus track featuring Wyclef Jean) 4: Animal City 5: Don't Bother 6: The Day and the Time (featuring Gustavo Cerati) 7: Dreams for Plans 8: Hey You 9: Your Embrace 10: Costume Makes the Clown 11: Something 12: Timor 13: La Tortura (new bonus track)

So disappointing
Timor and La Tortura are pretty good, but the rest of it is really bland pop-could have come from anybody. I bought the cd because I loved "Hips Don't Lie", and I was hoping for the rest of the cd to be in the same vein-a good beat that you can dance to.


Another Shakira Triumph
I love the mix of Arabic and Latino rhythms. This is the second CD I have purchased by Shakira who is a phenomenal artist. Her words are thought provoking on a lot of the songs. I recommend this product for anyone who wishes to be introducted to her work or to an existing fan.


Great purchase
Seller got it to her quickly & in perfect condition. Bought this as a gift and the receipient was VERY pleased.

Shakira is fabulous!
I must have listened to this CD hundreds of times since I bought it!. I couldn't love this album more if I tried! I absolutely LOVE it! She is so talented, and has a very unique voice.


Oral Fixation V2---an undervalued masterpiece
2 is smart, creative, thoughtful, new, fresh, inspiring, daring, and breaks from the conventional mainstream pop sound. Oral Fixation V. This album is not your one night stand plastic pop kind of album---it's really beyond entertainment for those who take the time to understand it. If you like dance music and carefree lyrics go to Madonna, Rihanna, Fergie, and yes Britney Spears. However, Shakira is something else--something above them in terms of actual meaning and art. This is directly due to the fact that Shakira is fully responsible for writing her own lyrics.

Therefore, it's not surprising that many don't like Shakira because of her unique and "new" take on the pop world. Yet, she continues to have millions of loyal fans that continue to support her and continue to show her that there are many out there who have discovered her beauty and this treasure called Oral Fixation V. 2

Her lyrics are awesome but they are deep and full of hidden meaning.

1. How do you do? Is the first song in the album. It is a direct attack to the Catholic church. One of Shakira's memorable lines is :You've made mistakes/Well that's OK' cause we all have/But if I forgive yours/Will you forgive mine?

2. Illegal--is the 2nd song of the album. A memorable lyrics is: "You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"/You said you would love me until you die/And as far as I kno you're still alive, baby/You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry. "/I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart. "

3. Hips Don't Lie--I won't even go into this one. Everyone knows about this song.

4. Animal City---the most memorable lyric is "With you I feel safe/There's nothing to fear from us/Away from the fangs/The fangs of the world/I may be a coward but you are brave/And nothing seems so dangerous"

5. Don't BOther---there are several memorable lines but here my favorite "I'm sure she doesn't know/How to touch you like I would/I beat her at that one good/ Don't you think so?/She's almost 6 feet tal/She must think I'm a flea/ I'm really a cat you see/ And it's not my last life at all

6. The Day and the Time--The most memorable lyrics is "Well, we know/How empemeral life is/Disillusion takes what illusion gives/What's the use of make believe?/This is the day and the time/ I wanna believe that we may still have a chance/We took a leap in the dark/And I can see now/ How our shawdows have turn to light

7. The Day and the Time---"Once upon a time you and I/When we were dreaming easy/Fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky/There was nothing we could sell or buy/Cause all we really needed/Was our bare feet and a pair of wings to fly"

8. Hey You---"Hey you/Makin' an offer that/No one could ever refuse/Don't play the adamant/Don't be so arrogant/ Can't you see I've fallen for ya?

9. Your Embrace--"HOpe it isn't too late/To say 'I love you'/Hope it isn't too late to say/ That without you this place looks like London/It rains every day/Don't you know it, babe/I'm only half a body/Without your embrace"

I wanna go on but you get the picture. You will love this album. Just give it a chance. .
