Golden, the two-time Grammy-nominated artist-writer-producer, is heating things with his new single, “Shakira.” A rhythmic masterpiece melding reggaeton and Afrobeats, the track is a steamy love letter to motion, culture, and the sheer magnetism of a woman “made in [Barran] Quilla.”
“Shakira” pulses with playful energy, seamlessly integrating the buoyant grooves of Afrobeats with the signature bounce of reggaeton. Golden’s flexible and authoritative vocals surf the rhythm like a wave, exulting not merely an icon but the very spirit of a city that has gifted the world with its most hypnotizing performers.
The music video for the song, also directed by Bacci, is equally compelling. After driving the viewer through a visual tour of Barranquilla, Golden pays tribute to the legendary Shakira statue before entering a colonial mansion where the spirit of Barranquilla comes to life through dancing. The imagery is rich, the movement hypnotizing, and the love for his roots unquestionable. With “Shakira,” Golden gives us an experience of celebrating heritage wrapped in rhythm and passion.
