It is not often that an artist demands us to not bother, as they will be fine. Yet the first single of Shakiras second English speaking album asks us to do just that.
The cultural melting pot that is Shakira is set to release her first English language single since her Latino inspired tango (objection) back in 2002. This time around she is not telling us about her small but humble breasts, but instead, she is pouring her heart out over the loss of her partner to an all round better woman.
It is a rock led track which is a million miles away from her infectious, yet odd summer smash Wherever, Whenever. However Don’t bother is equally as catchy with a saucy, aggressive video to boot. This should be enough to get Shakira back to her English form and make her the hip jiggling sex bomb that she was the first time round.
Rating: 4/5……oh do bother!
