‘The Hangover’: this is how we could title Shakira’s new video clip. The “golden bachelorette” of Latin music continues her process of self-affirmation as a slightly resentful separated lady – “So that bastard, when he sees me it hurts” – starring in a party of single friends.
There are many “wolves” who “have a great time”, but among all of them the influencer Lele Pons, the reggaeton artist Natti Natasha, the model Winnie Harlow and Bizarrap stand out.
Structured in the form of a flashback, the video is made up of a succession of summer and party scenes, each more sister-in-law. Zero ironies. ‘Soltera’ works as the visual representation of the classic “I went out (to clear my head) and got involved”, but inflected in a posh way. “The day is for the boat and the beach,” the Colombian sings. For pedal boat and towel, you mean? No, for yacht and surf. And so everything.
Shakira has the “right to behave badly,” which translated into reality means playing in the casino to “pluck” a young man, bathing in a jacuzzi dressed, peeing in a urinal (if only she had peed in the jacuzzi …), throw bills like a buzzy businessman and have a few drinks at the disco while her friends gather around her like at a bachelorette party in Magaluf.
Not before, of course, having damaged the wheel of the Lamborghini because, as everyone knows, women don’t know how to drive (and some don’t even know how to get out of a car, they do it through the window). And speaking of sports cars, wasn’t the figure of the divorced man who buys a great car to compensate for the midlife crisis a caricature of the midlife crisis? Well yes, the 170,000 euro Lamborghini Urus S is not a prop. It’s yours.
