Shakira Drops New Song 'Empire': Listen Here

shakira empire cover and lyrics

Is "Can't Remember To Forget You" going to have a short run? Colombian singer Shakira has dropped online a new song called "Empire". The alleged "new single" was debuted via an audio video posted on VEVO today (February 24th) - the same Season 6 of the "The Voice" premieres on NBC - that featured the song's official cover art as well. "Empire" comes from Shakira's upcoming self-titled tenth album, out March 25th.

Well, this isn't no "Can't Remember To Forget You", is it?. Unlike the sassy Rihanna duet, "Empire" is a grand-sounding ballad that sees Shakira reminding the world the great vocalist she is. Pretty good track! The pre-chorus/chorus sound very familiar, though. Did Shakira take inspiration from another song to create "Empire"?.

By the way, after hearing the song in full, one of my first thoughts was ... "I know Avril Lavigne would slay this!". (Is this good?) "Shakira" is going to be so eclectic!
