Shakira teases new music as she posts picture of herself at a recording mic

She has been a global superstar for decades.

And Shakira teased her legions of fans on Instagram this Wednesday about the possibility of new music coming down the pike.

The 44-year-old Colombian bombshell posted a snapshot of herself singing into a recording mic in front of a music stand.

‘Cooking something!’ she gushed in her caption for her more than 70 million followers and then wrote the same message in Spanish: ‘Cocinando algo!’

Although she is known for her glamorous ensembles onstage she stuck to a more casual and comfortable look while recording.

She slipped into a wine-colored sweatsuit including a hoodie, complementing her eye-popping cherry red hairdo.

Her latest post comes about three months after she released a new song called Girl Like Me in collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas. 

The music video has racked up more than 310 million views on YouTube and the single has hit the top of Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart.

Shakira posted a heartwarming Instagram video on Tuesday thanking her fans for pushing the song to its high chart position and blowing them a kiss. 

However Shakira has not put out a studio album since the 2017 release El Dorado which itself came at the end of a period of writer’s block.

The sizzling sensation had also given birth to her second son Sasha in 2015 and was trying to juggle motherhood with music.

‘I was in front of this white canvas and sort of panicking, and I was, at the same time, conflicted because I didn’t want to stop spending time with my kids, but I also wanted to attend to my own needs as a creator, as an artist, as a producer,’ she told Billboard in an interview promoting El Dorado. 

Since that album she has remained active in the public eye including a sizzling appearance at the Super Bowl last year.

She and Jennifer Lopez shared the halftime show where Shakira brought back a lot of her old hits including Hips Don’t Lie and Waka Waka (This Time For Africa).
