JAKARTA - After not releasing a new song for a long time, Shakira Jasmine will launch a single titled 'Benar Salah' on July 10. This song is the first release in 2024, in addition to the duet song with Arash Buana, 'I Don't Wanna Go Back Home' which was introduced earlier this year.

Arland Djoewarsa as A&R Musica Studios said the reason Shakira had not released a song for a long time was because she was preparing a new album.

Meanwhile, 'Benar Salah' which features the other side of Shakira as a singer was chosen as the opening song for the album in question.

"We are preparing the formula for Shakira's new album. If you ask whether the vibes (albums) will be like this, it will be like this, but there will also be other surprises later," said Arland Djoewarsa during a virtual press conference on Monday, July 8.

Regarding his new song, Shakira said 'Benar Salah' is a song that tells the point of view of a third person in the love triangle story.

"In this new song, maybe the discussion is a bit sensitive, but the honest one is in this song," said Shakira.

Through his latest work, Shakira is also actively involved in production. He said 'Benar Salah' was a song that had been stored for a long time until it was finally introduced as the first song to open his upcoming album.

Actually, this song goes through a lot of arrangements. This song has various versions. This is actually an old song, when the team (from the label) said 'Shakira, it's just like your song, as an album opener'," concluded Shakira Jasmine.
