But much of that was stripped away when she began singing in English, replaced with more globalized sounds selling a “global” artist. That early duet with Etheridge made sense, and Morissette was an obvious influence. But her early music was built around a framework of guitars and drums, then layered with pop elements. Shakira was never a full-on rock goddess. But it seems less an extension of her artistry these days and more like an accessory. Shakira strums a guitar in several of the music videos from her “Pies Descalzos” album: “Estoy Aquí,” “Dónde Estás Corazón?” “Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos.” She still does it on tour.
