Shakira and Rauw Alejandro present “Te Felicito”, their first collaboration

He has no style issues. On the contrary: if he has shown anything throughout his career, it is that he knows how to adapt, to reinvent himself. And that’s what you get Shakira in “Te Felicito”, the song she just released with Rauw Alejandro.

Could “I congratulate you” be defined as a song that combines Latin rhythms and funka mix between disco and reggaeton music very close to “Viceversa”, Rauw Alejandro’s latest opus.

In the lyrics to “Te Felicito,” Shakira wryly says goodbye to a couple, assuming she won’t change her cynical attitude: “I don’t buy this cheap philosophy. / Sorry, I don’t ride this bike anymore. / I can’t stand two-faced people. / I put my hands on fire for you. / And you treat me like one more of your desires”sung.

While Rauw Alejandro brings his rap. “I didn’t block you from the networks so that you could see the other in the Mercedes”.

The theme was released along with a fun videowhich in a few hours exceeded one million views on YouTube, and in which the Colombian singer builds a robot Alejandro.

The clip was recorded in Barcelona and directed by Catalan Jaume de la Iguana, a photographer, graphic designer and videographer with close ties to the music industry.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Shakira opts for a collaboration to give a change of direction. You could say that after singing with Carlos Vives (“La Bicicleta”), Maluma (“Clandestino”), Alejandro Sanz (“La Tortura”), Maná (“Mi Verdad”) and Anuel AA (“Me Gusta”) , She specializes in duos.
