For this Latin pop superstar, a greatest hits album offers a chance to taste some of the sweetest fruits from the healthy vine that is the Shakira catalog of albums. Things kick off appropriately enough with "Estoy Aqui," which also opens Shakira's 1996 album PIES DESCALZOS. It's a powerful opener, and its mix of acoustic guitars, pop chorus, and prominent dance beat speaks volumes about the nature of the singer's work. Another important aspect of Shakira's sound is represented strongly by "Si Te Vas" from DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES? Redolent of Alanis Morissette with its vocal swoops and pointed rock rhythms, it showcases the angry-young-woman side of Shakira. Of course, the monster 2001 hit "Whenever, Wherever" from LAUNDRY SERVICE would render any Shakira compilation incomplete by its absence, but this disc isn't just about the hits; it lets listeners experience all the shadings of which this multi-faceted artist is capable.

This photogenic Colombian singer began her recording career at the tender age of 13. It wasn't long before her eclectic brand of Latin pop became a sensation in numerous Spanish-speaking countries. In 1998, without making the concession of singing in English, Shakira exploded in the rest of the world with her album DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES? With echoes of everything from Sheryl Crow to Alanis Morissette, the sensual singer became a worldwide phenomenon. Her subsequent release (after an MTV UNPLUGGED album in 2000) LAUNDRY SERVICE found Shakira venturing into English-language lyrics for the first time, expanding her fanbase even further.
