Shakira wrote and produced the fist single, She-Wolf, with John Hill (Santogold) and penned the, as usual, quirky lyrics.  She weaves a mischievous tale of a metaphorical she-wolf in the distinctively dance – fusion style that fans have come to expect.  An inventively sexy video directed by Jake Nava and featuring the metamorphosis of a woman told through her unique dance techniques has been a worldwide success.
 
She-Wolf boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey / electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute).  The song has an organic disco feel with a chorus, “There's a she-wolf in the closet, open up and set it free, there's a she wolf in the closet, let it out so it can breathe."  At the start, an ominous fanfare through a vocoder hooks the listener "there's a she wolf in disguise, coming out, coming out, coming out.”  Then a vibrant string section builds to a final crescendo at the end of the song.  
 
Shakira boasts a string of chart-topping hits in both English and Spanish and sales of over 50 million records.  Her last project, Oral Fixation Volumes 1&2, has sold in excess of 8 million albums worldwide with the singles La Tortura and Hips Don’t Lie having earned over 10 million digital downloads.  
 
The full album also titled “She Wolf” is due out in November 17th 2009 from Epic, a division of Sony Music.
