    Simplemente es increíble la forma en la que ella logra mezclar tantos géneros musicales sin que suene mal, ese álbum pasa de baladas, rock, merengue, pop y reguetón, ahora sabemos porqué es la reina del pop latino.

    este es el 3 mejor álbum de la carrera de Shakira, a pesar de que contiene esos temas pop pegadizos para vender, también tiene otras joyas que no se lanzaron como sencillos pero están ahí siendo bien recibidas por todos nosotros. me gustaría que esta pagina agregara mas contenido de Shakira para calificarlo.

    Um de seus trabalhos mais completos! O modo como ela arrasa nas composições e consegue fazer diferentes ritmos é impressionante!

    Muchos extrañan a la Shakira de Pies Descalzos y Donde Están los Ladrones, pero olvidan que Sale el Sol es también un excelente disco, para mi el último gran disco que sacó, si bien su trabajo homónimo no está mal, no se siente memorable y El Dorado me pareció demasiado genérico.

    It's definitively better than She Wolf. However I definitively liked more ending of this album, rather than it's middle tracks. "Antes de las Seis", "Lo Que Mas" and "Mariposas" are too slow for me. "Sale el Sol" it's okay, it's slow, but it got some good moments. "Loca" is definitively best track on album, it's fun and well-produced. "Gordita" it's good, but some Calle 13's vocals couldIt's definitively better than She Wolf.

"Gordita" it's good, but some Calle 13's vocals could be better. "Addicted to You" is very catchy and memorable, at least for me. "Rabiosa" is another fun and catchy song, and it's followed by very nice three tracks ("Devocion", "Islands" and "Tu Boca"), that made a huge impression to me after hearing She Wolf. They have strong intros, and even stronger choruses! :) Besides, "Islands" is, production-wise, catchier version of "Did It Again".… Expand

    Diosa, este álbum es buenísimo, sonidos de todo tipo, buenas baladas, algo de reggaetón y estilo rockero con el gran Cerati. Genial.

    Her best album this decade. Devoción is the best song on the album. Loca and Rabiosa are great Merengue dance tracks. The album is filled with beautiful rock songs and poetic lyrics giving her 90s vibes, and a dancy Latin music perfectly balanced.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of her most impressive works. Each song is pure, and the different genres sound innovative but very natural at the same time. My favorites tracks are Lo que mas, Antes de las Seis and Devocion. She also has participated in every song on the album, which speaks volumes about her artistic versitality and the immense amount of effort she puts in her work.… Expand

    An incredible album that shows Shakira’s versatility. Tracks that stand out are “Sale El Sol” and “Devocíon”.

    You can tell by this album, there's not artist out there who can put out music like this and certainly make an extremely great album.
    Incredible.
    Not her best but remains amazing quality.

    Just the best album of her career. The song "Devoción" is the best. All the instrumentals, the lyrics, i have no words to describe this work. Thank you Shakira.

    What a fun album! Considering that I don't speak a word of Spanish, I think it's safe to say that the music of "Sale el Sol" speaks for itself, especially for those that are looking for a fun way to score a run in the sun!

    Sin duda, Sale el Sol demuestra la enorme capacidad que tiene Shakira para componer, interpretar y cantar, asimismo demostrar su máximo punto de madurez como cantante desde "Donde Estan Los Ladrones?".

    A great album of Shakira, dance like her, but with some unnecessary songs lowering the album level.
    Highlights: Rabiosa and Loca
    Lows: Islands and Lo Que Más

    'Sale El Sol' is definitely one of Shakira's best albums so far. Love the latin mixes in 'Addicted To You', the rock beats in 'Tu Boca' and the alternate spirit on the cover song 'Islands'. Keep it like that Shaki!

    Shakira has always been a great singer and songwriter, Sale El Sol comes as a great gift for his fans, a wonderful and worked well album, the highlights are ''Antes de Las Seis'' and a great cover of ''Islands'' by The XX.

    Just want to say: this album is in Spanish. I did not know this when I bought it. Only three songs are in English. The best song is "Gordita", even though it is in Spanish.

    Mostly, her new album is businesslike, serious, sane.

    The album isn't as heady as She Wolf, but there's an easy charm to how Shakira deftly navigates such a mash of genres.

    Sale el Sol manages to bridge the divide between the old and new Shakira with a spark that keeps you listening to the very end.
