Laundry Service

Amazon.com
Colombian superstar Shakira's first English-language disc, Laundry Service, carries the pointed credit "Entire Album Produced by Shakira." That might be a signal to U.S. fans who helped two of her previous discs go platinum under the media radar--a sign that this planned breakthrough has more to offer than the input of a score of image makers and outside writers. And it does; even the occasional clunky lyric comes directly from her overflowing heart. Laundry Service's meld of danceable pop and rockier ideas and textures follows the similar path of the singer-songwriter's previous work. Indeed, for all its high-end production values, the record is ultimately one of the least glossy crossover vehicles imaginable. Despite an occasional lean toward Celine Dion territory ("Underneath Your Clothes"), it has a freshness that's sure to win over new listeners even after the first single, the sly "Whenever, Wherever," has reached the saturation point. While still not fully formed as an artist, she's getting close to something of her own--something that may flower after she dumps the vocal Alanis-isms. For now, it's still a pleasure to watch her grow. --Rickey Wright

May I present the birth of La Shaki Rubia! [translation: Blonde Shakira].......2007-07-18

When I first heard this album, it took me a while to adjust to Shakira's distinctive bent, edgy intonation and raw yowling, along with pure, unbridled passion. The year was 2001. Shakira Mebarek had already spent years as a well-known singer/songwriter in Mexico, Central and South America. It was time that the Yanquis get acquainted with her [i.e. music lovers in the United States]. So, Shakira penned her English-language debut, LAUNDRY SERVICE [later released as SERVICIO DE LAVANDERIA, to her Spanish-speaking audience]. Her combination of Latin, rock and Arabic rhythms proved just as infectious in English (one of the three languages she speaks fluently) as in Spanish.

Some of the best songs on this album include "Objection [Tango]," with a Spanish version "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio," and "Whenever, Wherever," with it's spanish counterpart, "Suerte." What's more, Shakira showed her range as a soulful pop singer in slower ballads like "Underneath Your Clothes," and "The One." What's more, who can forget her sultry, sexy "Que Me Quedes Tu"? This intelligent and accomplished singer [then twenty-four years old] showed us her singing chops and her true ability to connect audiences of all backgrounds and lanaguages together with her tunes. Though, I must say that, if pressed, her best album by far is DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES? [her 1998 release], LAUNDRY SERVICE is a very appealing CD to own. I definitely reccomend it, six years later.

Great cross over!.......2007-05-11

i have been a shakira fan long before she decided to crossover to the american market and this is an excellent way to do so....i love hearing the english version of ojos asi and getting to know shakira in a different light and by knowing all the words she's singing and the meaning behind them.

PODEROSA EN AMBOS IDIOMAS!!!.......2007-05-06

Shakira siempre fue mi artista latina favorita; es increible lo que alguien con gran talento puede hacer cuando tiene una gran confianza en si mismo y gente que lo apoye y crea en el; este es para mi el mejor disco de Shakira, donde ella lo ha entregado practicamente todo; canciones como TANGO, SUERTE (WHENEVER) y TE DEJO MADRID son autenticos bombazos de puro rock; lindas baladas como UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES, YOU'RE THE ONE, melodias pop impresionantes como FOOL, QUE ME QUEDES TU, en total, y hasta musica al puro estilo hindu como EYES LIKE YOURS; este disco es indispensable para no solo los fans de Shakira, sino para todo fan del pop en general (por cierto, que bien pronuncia el idioma ingles).

A guilty pleasure.......2007-05-02

I really don't care much for pop music, much less latin pop music when that crossover explosion happened (which I completely blame on Ricky Martin for creating) but I'll make an exception with Shakira's "Laundry Service". The first time I actually heard her music was when the music video for "Whatever, Whenever" came out six years ago. The song was pure ear candy with its infectious pop hooks. So I eventually bought Shakira's "Laundry Service". Much to my surprise I actually enjoyed the cd. The music is filled with catchy pop/rock hooks without being overly polished. I think the songwriting is kinda weak and at times silly. I thought Shakira sounds the best singing in her native tongue than in english but that's just me. Another flaw is Shakira's vocals which is somewhat shrill at times but otherwise this album is a fun, guilty pleasure of mine.

Excellent Sound, a Good First Crossover!.......2006-11-25

This is an excellent first English Language disc by an artist who was already well established in the Latin world. The rock sounds are here especially with Underneath Your Clothes, which sounds a lot like Aerosmith's Dream On. Those of you who enjoyed her superior prior works (Pies Descalzo and Donde Estan Los Ladrones) may be a little disappointed in the commerical direction that this one went (take the pop candy song Whenever). Also some of the English lyrics are really non-sensical and we are not sure what the title Laundry Service has to do with anything on the disc. This is what prevented me from giving the disc 5 stars. Shakira has a good sense for great sound and music is her strong point over lyrics. But her Lebonese roots engrained in many of her sounds gives her music a unique feel to it that will keep her as a megastar for many years to come!

Changed me.......2005-06-23

I always lisend to play music or as my neighbor always said music without words which is classical music. I listend to Shakira and thought "What a terrible CD" because my sisters favorite was my least favorite but my mom also liked it so i listend to other songs and found one that sounded familiar "Whenever, Whearever" so i listend to the others and they grew on me so now i'm one of the biggest Shakira fans

Good CD... Nothing extraordinary but still good..........2004-04-21

To all of you who just knew Shakira after this album, let me tell you something... you haven't heard nothing at all yet.

Go get a few lessons of spanish and listen her first album (Pies Descalzos)... THAT'S MUSICAL POETRY... Best latin songwriter so far and very good performer.

And this isn't the best of her.......2004-03-13

Well... I know tha now, everybody loves Shakira... and yes, this is an amazing album...

I really love Underneath your clothes and Que me quedes tu. Didn't love english version of Ojos Asi.

If you like it, you SHOULD have Donde estan los ladrones, THAT IS HER BEST ALBUM... Inevitable is probably her best song... so, learn spanish and welcome to latin world.

Oh... also she is SO nice... i can wait for the Tour of the Moongose DVD... and includes MEXICO City!!!! yay (i went to that concert)

One Killer Album!.......2004-01-26

This is by far my favorite Shaki CD that I own. And it comes with 3 new remixes and MTV's Making the Video of Objection Tango and a live performance. All of the songs are great English or Spanish. You'll love this album.

Also check out Shakira's "Pies Descalzos" "Donde Estan Los Ladrones" "The Remixes" "Grandes Exitos" "Coleccion de Oro" and "MTV Unplugged" These albums are awesome too.

I need a Berlitz course.......2004-01-20

This is a great album. Big Fun, as they say. Interestingly, many of the best songs are sung in Spanish, which I do not know. Track 8 is infectious, and I don't understand a darn word of it. I agree with the reviewer from SF who comments that it is sort of a crime that they want Shakira to sing in English. She is an excellent songstress in Spanish. It certainly looks to me like the CD/DVD package is worth the extra dollar. Objection is a great tune, thoughtful and expressive.

I loved it. all the songs were great..cant wait for her next cd in november!

re-live old spanish rock.......2005-07-15

I loved old rock en espanol, and if you do also you will love this cd. I specially loved NO and ESCONDITE INGLES. It's a different vibe for shakira from her last CD but thats the whole point, right? why the same again?! Buy it is great.

Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-06-16

The music is great as usual. I love her voice. DVD was fun to watch. I greatly recommend.

nOT what I expected.......2005-06-15

First off , if youre expecting something like Laundry Service, you will be dissapointed.I liked laundry service sooo much better!!
Cant say its a total waist but if youre expecting something like La Tortura (which is perfect by the way)because most of them dont have the same rythym and beat.

What I do like is that the music is varied but not hot.

The tracks I liked are the following:
1La pared
2 La tortura
3 uN DIA ESPECIAL
4 nO
5lA TORTURA rEMIX-FOR REGGEATON FAMS

Ready For The Good Times THUNDERPUSS Club Mix !!!!!!.......2002-09-22

First of all I have to say that I LOVE Shakira, she is such a hottie!! If you are a fan of Shakira you need this set for your collection. The first CD is the same as the US release with the hits Whenever Wherever, Underneath Your Clothes, and Objection (Tango). The second CD/AVCD has 4 remixes by Shakira: Underneath Your Clothes Mendez Club Radio Edit (3:24), Underneath Your Clothes Acoustic Version (3:58), Whenever, Wherever Tracy Young's Spin Cycle Mix (7:02), and Ready For The Good Times THUNDERPUSS Club Mix (10:47). It also has the videos for Objection (Tango), Whenever, Wherever, and Underneath Your Clothes. Overall I would recommend buying this set, the Ready For The Good Times THUNDERPUSS Club Mix is worth it alone, it is an AMAZING remix, probably one of the best to date.
