Shakira never fails to impress with her ever-changing hair colors that always manage to look amazing. Recently, the talented 44-year-old singer surprised her fans by flaunting a striking red hair color on social media while promoting her new single “GIRL LIKE ME” with the Black Eyed Peas. This bold hair transformation brought back fond memories of the iconic shade she rocked on the cover of Grandes Exitos back in 2002. “Voilà!” she captioned the photo of her fresh new look, highlighting her eternal beauty.

Fans of Shakira have noticed that her current hairstyle is reminiscent of the one she sported during her unforgettable MTV Unplugged show back in 1999. “Redkira is back!!!” jubilantly declared a fan on social media. Another fan simply stated, “I am getting serious MTV Unplugged flashbacks.”

The celeb also posted a video of herself styling her fresh haircut with a blow dryer brush while jamming out to “Girl Like Me” in the background. She captioned the footage with a simple “Surprise!” Shakira made waves by dropping her new tune in December and handing over her music publishing rights to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited. The deal was made public in January. Merck Mercuriadis, the brains behind Hipgnosis, took to Twitter to welcome Shakira into their artist family, praising her songwriting skills honed over the past quarter-century. He commended her for penning or co-writing almost every track she’s ever recorded. Shakira’s music library boasts 145 songs, including hits like “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Tortura,” and “She Wolf.” The recent collab with The Black Eyed Peas, “Girl Like Me,” was also part of the sale, but Hipgnosis won’t be getting their hands on her future tracks. In a chat with Billboard, Shakira shared her belief that being a songwriter is just as crucial, if not more so, than being a singer and performer. She emphasized the personal significance of her songs, which capture her thoughts and emotions at the time of creation, now belonging to the fans who enjoy them. The financial details of the catalog sale are being kept under wraps. After joining forces with The Black Eyed Peas, Shakira landed on Billboard’s Global 200 chart for the first time, peaking at No. 56 and staying on for five weeks. Sony/ATV will continue to handle the management of the global sensation’s catalog, as per Billboard’s report.
