By now Shakira’s single “She Wolf” has flooded the airwaves and is a staple of most Fall ’09 playlists, but with the complete album, which dropped Nov. 23, the Colombian singer-songwriter offers up another mix of Spanish and English jams.

It’s been more than three years since her last album, “Oral Fixation, Vol. 2,” but Shakira made sure to take on an edgier, dance-beat element with her music, drifting away from some of the soulful ballads on her last album.

“Did it Again” and “Why Wait” are fast-paced tracks that add some spice to the album. Shakira also teamed up with Kid Cudi to remix “Did it Again” as well as Wycleaf Jean and Lil Wayne on other tracks. Shakira and Wycleaf Jean are used to collaborating.

Their last song, “Hips Don’t Lie,” was Shakira’s first number one song on the Billboard Hot 100.

“She Wolf” hasn’t yet had the success of “Hips Don’t Lie,” (it only reached 11 on the Billboard Hot 100) but the song is definitely the powerhouse of the album.

“Give it Up to Me” featuring Lil Wayne also will likely become a hit for Shakira and popular in the college scene.

She debuted the song on “The Late Show with David Letterman” last month and the collaboration was rumored to be one of the things holding up the album’s release.

The singer sat down with Letterman after the performance to talk about her philanthropy the Barefoot Foundation, which works to provide universally available education.

The singer started the foundation when she was 18 years old. And now the 32 year old is engaged to Antonio de la Rua, son of a former Argentinean president. Hopefully she won’t lose that “she-wolf appetite,” as she says in “Give It Up To Me.”

The album is an up-beat, but not in-your-face, mixture of rhythm that will leave listeners feeling like they are ready to go out for the night or maybe even travel to a foreign land.

Unfortunately, much of the album won’t live up to the “She Wolf” single.

It’s a hard act to follow, especially when the video includes the Colombian beauty in nothing but a flesh-colored leotard and heels in a cage. The video inspired other imitators like University of Washington sophomore Andrew Foster, who created “He Wolf.” The video has almost 1 million hits on YouTube.

The album may not be Shakira’s best work, but in the very least it lives up to her reputation. Even if you can recite the lyrics to “She Wolf” while shaking your hips and doing her limbo back bend, go for the challenge and listen to “Loba” and learn the song in Spanish.
