Shakira announced yesterday (Thursday,May 12th) that she will release a new album later this month after the superstar sported a reggaeton sound on her first single.
Shakira, one of the top-selling Latin artists of all time, said her 11th studio album, “El Dorado,” will come out on May 26.

The album’s title refers to the mythical city of riches which Spanish explorers sought in her native Colombia. The cover art of “El Dorado,” however, is somber with Shakira’s face peeking out of an off-white background.
