~~~The CD~~~
This CD has it all from upbeat, "get up and dance", salsa themed songs -to emotional, powerful ballads.
The CD begins with Objection (tango), a truly wonderful upbeat song with a salsa themed background. There is the well-known hit "Wherever Whenever" with the lovely sound of the holiday-themed pan flutes, and Underneath your clothes- the famous, beautiful ballad.
There are many good songs including "The one", where the lyrics are truly amazing and well thought out, to "Rules" and "Ready for the good times."
Nearly all of this album is about love, and the problems she experiences. Shakira sings about "The one" and that it's all she needs.
She also sings about being a "fool" for loving someone she shouldn't because he's hurt her.
But for those of you out there who are not soppy-don't worry! This is not a Celine Dion style album, and even though it's about love, many of the songs have attitude in them-that shows that Shakira can't be walked over.

~~~Objection~~~
This was released, but unfortunatly didn't get much airplay and didn't do very well. This is a very up-beat, salsa themed song, and is one of my favourites from the album. It's a really good first song and has quite a lot of attitude. Shakira sings about jelousy:
"It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead"
but although she is hurt, she seems more angry than upset, and channels these emotions towards him in a powerful manner.

~~~Whenever Wherever~~~
This was Shakira's first released song in Britain, and did very well a few summers ago. I still love this song, and I think the main reasons are because of the holiday-esque sound of the pan flutes, the uber catchy melody, and the lyrics-which are quite funny-as Shakira was learning English when she wrote this.
"Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river."

~~~The one~~~
I absolutely love this song. I think that it was released in Britain, but didn't get any airplay, and she was busy promoting all over the world. I think that this is my favourite from the album. It has everything a great song needs- a lovely melody, brilliant singer and good lyrics. In this song you can tell that this song really means a lot to Shakira. She wrote the lyrics, and you can almost hear her voice quiver with emotion in some lines. The guitar is brilliant in this, and when it kicks in it adds so much to the overall effect of the song that it's hard to put in to words, -you'll have to listen to it!
Some good lyrics, in my opinion:
"So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on Friday nights
To take me dancing again" and
"So I learned to cook and finally lose
My kitchen phobia
And so I got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a news
That brings insomnia "
In this song Shakira appears a lot more vunerable, and is a complete contrast to "Objection" where she appears to have the upper hand over her man.

~~~Te Dejo Madrid~~~
This song is in Spanish, and was released in spain. This is a very catchy song, and has a nice guitar through out the song.
