AceShowbiz - Colombian superstar Shakira recently opened up about her past vocal technique and her feelings about her early music. Speaking on an episode of "Hot Ones," Shakira admitted that she "overdid" her signature yodel on some of her older songs.
"I think I used to overdo the cries in my voice," she said. "I think it was exaggerated. A little baroque."
Shakira attributed her vocal growth to several factors, including becoming a mother. "After my pregnancies, my voice got thicker, more rounded, more full," she explained. She also credited her personal and intellectual evolution for her maturity as an artist.
The Grammy-winning singer has released 12 studio albums, with her latest, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," dropping in March. The album showcases Shakira's signature resilience and strength, transforming difficult experiences into empowering music.
Despite her self-criticism, Shakira acknowledges that some fans may prefer her earlier work. However, she is confident that she has "matured" both stylistically and as an artist.
Shakira's vocal evolution is a testament to her dedication to her craft. While she may have "overdone it" in the past, her voice has only grown stronger and more nuanced over time. Her fans continue to appreciate her artistic journey and the ability of her music to connect with listeners on a deep level.
