Shakira surprised us last month by going indie and covering The xx’s “Islands.” We only got a snippet back then, but the Colombian singer treated us to her full-length version at Glastonbury Festival this past weekend. Sadly, no Kylie Minogue/Scissor Sisters-style duet between Shakira and The xx crew (who also performed at the fest) occurred on stage, and there was minimal hip-shaking as well, but her upbeat take on the haunting song is worth a peek at least. Watch below.
Shakira – “Islands” (Live)
Shakira is so adorable bouncing around the stage barefoot, flipping her hair, singing with a giant smile on her face. We like seeing her perform while laid back in jeans and a tank top, actually looking comfortable, than in any of that glittery bellydancing get-ups or those uber-sexual catsuits. (We may be alone on that one, though.)
Hmm No I’m not liking this her voice is so unique that it just cant go with anything this just didn’t mesh very well to me.
I love Shakira and The XX! well played, Shaki.
