Shakira is in in good company with Lucien Laviscount , the rising star of Emily in Paris, for her new music video alongside Cardi B. The 47-year-old Colombian singer released Puntería this Thursday, March 21, sporting bubblegum pink hair and starring alongsidethe handsome 31-year-old actor in a surreal music video.
In the song, Shakira and Cardi B dance and appear to flirt with beautiful centaurs in a pastel-colored mystical realm, while Shakira reveals particularly steamy scenes in a duet with Lucien Laviscount, whom she entwines in a giant lotus flower.
The song is featured on Shakira's new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which was released Friday, March 22. This new music follows a series of sensual photos posted on the artist's Instagram. “Afinando el tiro con @its_lucien en Punteria 🎯🌸 #LMYNL”, Shakira captioned the images (a.k.a. Perfect Shot).
Shakira also announced Cardi B s participation shortly before the song's release, posting a photo of her and the rapper smiling together, and writing, "Ready @iamcardib? Just one hour away!"
Earlier this month, the mother of two spoke candidly about the values she holds dear following her separation from her longtime partner, Gerard Piqué, in 2022, after more than a decade together. Asked by Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 , "What's really, really important to you right now?", the artist replied “friendship”.
“I think friendship lasts longer than love […] But I always think that experiencing love, experiencing it fully with all its ups and downs, is so essential to human life," Shakira added: "I love love, but I think I love friendship a little more. Because I thought love would always be there for me. And that's one of my broken dreams. Maybe I will. I don't know if I'll find him again. Probably not. I don't know. But friendship, I have it."
