Shakira released her new album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” last Friday. It’s her first in seven years.

The cross-genre, cross–culture singer’s 12th album covers her most recent breakup and journey of self-discovery. She says that making the album was “an alchemical process” where “[her] tears transformed into diamonds.”

The 1A Record Club convenes to dive into the musical world that Shakira has built: a career that’s spanned multiple continents, languages, cultures, and audiences.
