MIAMI - Shakira has unveiled her latest song: it's called "Nassau," a track from her much-anticipated album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," set for release on March 22. This song is not just a melodic addition to her new album; it's a personal revelation, illustrating her journey through pain towards new love. With a beach providing a serene backdrop, the song carries an air of intimacy and personal reflection.

In her own words, Shakira shared insights about the song's significance. "This song, Nassau, is my take on Afrobeat. It's featured on my new album 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' coming on March 22," she said, offering a glimpse into her creative process and the cultural influences that shaped this track. The mention of Afrobeat not only highlights her musical versatility but also hints at the rhythmic and emotional depth the song promises.

The lyrics of "Nassau" have sparked a frenzy among fans, particularly because they are in sharp contrast with the themes of her earlier songs on the album, like "Monotonía with Ozuna, "Copa Vacía" with Manuel Turizo, "TQG" with Karol G, and her biggest hit, her session with Bizarrap. These tracks, as Shakira revealed, were inspired by her painful split with Gerard Piqué and dealt with themes of betrayal and heartache.

However, "Nassau" marks a distinct turn in her narrative. The song's excerpt says: "

I had promised I'd never fall in love again, but then you came along to heal the wounds left by another. I had those feelings locked and sealed, but what can I do? I'm too drawn to you."

It shows a journey from darkness back into light, hinting at the emergence of a new love in her life.
