Title: Shakira; A Good singer, A badly Produced Album
Review: Shakira is undoubtedly a very talented singer, but has unfortunately recorded her worst album. There are certain techniques that a singer uses with acoustic albums, and unfortunately, maybe because of lack of experience, this album is poorly produced. The purpose of an Unplugged album is to provide the listener with an acoustic version of a song that is slightly different of the prior version. I felt that she tried hard to produce an identical version of her hits. In Ciega Sordomuda, Shakira very creatively brings in a Mariachi Band, unfortunately the end result is a version of the song that seemed off sync, and sounded as if they were singing for the first time together. To produce an acoustic album takes certain expertise, and Emilio Estefan Jr. does a poor job as a producer to advise the singer about her performance. The end result is that Shakira, a young women with incredible singing talent, seems like a poor acoustic performer.
Is the review positive or negative?
