Shakira Finishes Up New Song 'Hips Don't Lie' With Wyclef Jean

NEW YORK, NY (Epic Records) - Recent Grammy winner Shakira and Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean have a history of blending music and culture with their individual bodies of work. So it's no wonder that the outcome of their recent endeavor in the studio is a Latin inflected cross-cultural hip shaker entitled "Hips Don't Lie." The smash, which makes its way to radio across the world today, was recorded on the road in Miami, New York and Los Angeles over the last couple weeks. Next week, Shakira and Wyclef will complete a video for "Hips Don't Lie" which will debut in early March.

Explaining the song's title, Shakira says her hips have always been an indication of a great song. "My hips tell me where and when I should move. And my hips don't lie - my hips tell me the truth."

"Hips Don't Lie" will become available on Oral Fixation Vol. 2 by March 28th. The song can also be sampled at Shakira's website www.Shakira.com. Fans who already own Oral Fixation Vol. 2 can also go to her website to find out how to acquire the song.

Meanwhile, last year's successes continue to mount for Shakira. Her Spanish album Fijacion Oral vol. 1 just won the Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album Grammy Award and the album has surpassed over 3 million sales worldwide. The English companion album Oral Fixation, vol. 2 debuted at No 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart making her second top 5 album of 2005 and Shakira the only artist ever to debut top 5 albums in English and Spanish in the same calendar year.
