Shakira questions the exclusivity of romantic relationships – El Financiero

Almost 30 years after launching ‘Anthology’, one of the most memorable songs in her repertoire, it is strange to hear Shakira talk about how love has failed her. She made her way into the music industry because of the romantic songs that were sung by an entire generation and now, in a recent interview, she questioned that belief. exclusivity in love relationships.

The Colombian has gone through a couple of turbulent years, not only because of her musical transformation that has led her to collaborate with Bizarre and Ozuna until positioning itself in the international success lists, also due to the breakup with the footballer Gerard Piquéwhich dominated the covers and headlines with the smallest detail of their relationship of more than 12 years.

From the title of their new album, Women no longer cryShakira approaches an audience that, like her, has lost faith in the love of a couple, at least for now: “I lost my love halfway through. How come you got tired of something so genuine?” says in his song ‘Last’, which was a need that he described as “therapeutic” to overcome that moment in his life.

What did Shakira say about monogamy?

In his most recent interview, for the magazine Marie Clairethe singer acknowledged that she cannot stop believing in love because she has as an example her parents who have been together for 50 years: “how they look into each other’s eyes and hold hands and cannot live apart from each other.”

However, he is not afraid to admit that his experiences have not favored him: “I have witnessed love, but I have not been so lucky either. “Monogamy is a utopia.”

In difficult times, Shakira realized that love is much more than romance: “But I have been compensated in other ways, with the love of my fans, my children and my true friends.” He says his friendships were fundamental at this stage: “My relationship lasted 12 years but my friends “They will be there all their lives.”
