Nonetheless, when her next release Peligro (Danger), did not fare better than its predecessor Shakira turned to acting and played a role in a Colombian telenovela ("El Oasis"), but failed as an actress. She was approached by her record company to write a song for a Rock en Espanol compilation album and, on her cab ride to the meeting with the music executives, she wrote the song "Donde Estas Corazon" to present to them.
This song later became part of her album Pies Descalzos. She returned to the music business in 1995 with the album Pies Descalzos (Barefeet), which established her commercial success. The hit "Estoy Aquí" became known internationally. The Remixes was created and featured remixes from the songs on Pies Descalzos, with some songs redone in Portuguese.
Following this, Shakira met Emilio Estefan, Jr., who would become the executive producer of her next album. Dónde Están Los Ladrones? (Where are the thieves?) was a huge production which cost over US$3 million. It was a huge hit which gained wide critical acclaim and which many consider to be her best album ever. Most notable singles from the album are "Inevitable" and the worldwide mega-hit, "Ojos Así". The album's successful blend of rock and Latin soundscapes made it an immense success. Shakira also produced Shakira MTV Unplugged, a live album based on Dónde Están Los Ladrones.
Shakira next turned her sights towards the English-speaking market, improving her English enough to begin writing Laundry Service. With a more rock-edged feel, Laundry Service was aimed at the international English-speaking market, even though it contained some Spanish songs. Some people said that Shakira's English skills were too weak for her to write in English, but Laundry Service was nevertheless a big hit, best known for the infectious single "Whenever, Wherever" (English version of "Suerte"), and for being one of the top albums of 2002. Shakira is well known for intense, athletic live performances involving belly dancing, Arabic rhythms and other sensual movements. The single "Whenever, Wherever" includes the now-famous lyric, "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains." ...more
