Shakira Returns to Zootopia 2 with New Song
It's always a treat when a familiar voice returns to grace our screens and airwaves, isn't it? And this time, it's the one and only Shakira, who's making a comeback in a way that feels both nostalgic and brand new. We're talking about her return as Gazelle in Zootopia 2, and she's not just lending her voice to the beloved character; she's also gifted us with the film's original song, "Zoo."
As reported by various outlets, this new track, which is already available on digital platforms, is a collaboration with Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin. You can catch a glimpse of Shakira sharing snippets of "Zoo" on her social media, singing along in her car, and her fans are absolutely ecstatic. Reading their reactions, you can feel the pure joy and pride. Phrases like "You have me crying with emotion" and "Thank you for always bringing your Colombian and Latin heritage to the whole world" really highlight how much her connection to her roots means to her listeners. It's that beautiful blend of global appeal and cultural authenticity that makes her so special.
"Zoo" itself sounds like it's poised to be another anthem, much like the unforgettable "Try Everything" from the first Zootopia. The lyrics, a mix of English and Spanish, along with those catchy choruses, are said to exude positive energy, celebration, and diversity, with some even drawing parallels to the iconic "Waka Waka." This isn't just a song; it feels like a statement, a reaffirmation of the film's message of tolerance and community, amplified by Shakira's powerful presence. The soundtrack, featuring music composed by Academy Award winner Michael Giacchino, is set to release just before the movie hits theaters on November 27th.
It’s moments like these, when an artist so beloved re-emerges with such vibrant energy, that make you wonder about the lasting impact of music and storytelling. How will "Zoo" resonate with a new generation, and will it carry the same kind of unifying spirit that so many of her previous hits have?
