In what will come as a surprise to many I’m sure, Colombian sex bomb Shakira has decided to team up with East London rapper Dizzee Rascal on her new track Loca.

The fact that this collaboration has even come about is true testament to how far Dizzee Rascal has come in such a short space of time – this surely being his biggest gig to date.

While Loca shows a hint of the ‘old’ Shakira we knew, it also displays her willingness to develop her music by adding some heavy Dominican influences and grime king Dizzee.

Shakira’s new bilingual album Sale El Sol drops October 15. Check out the radio rip of Loca below:
