Shakira's a big fan of dance music according to Afrojack

  • March 29, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Shakira "loves the new dance thing" according to recent col­lab­or­ator Afrojack.

In an interview with Billboard, the producer revealed that the pair had been "in the studio now a couple times" and that he can exclus­ively reveal that the 'Gypsy' hitmaker is not horrible.

"She's really nice and that's why we started working together," he explained.

"She has a unique voice and really loves the new dance thing. Like when a beat drops, she makes this like… face. She's feeling it."

Mind you, he wasn't so forth­com­ing with the facts when it came to whether or not these new songs will appear on her album. "I never want to put a name tag on something. I wanna just see what happens, but probably. We'll see," he said.

Thanks for that, Afrojack.
