Shakira's eighth studio album is rumored to be titled "Rati," in honor of the hindu goddess of love, lust, sexual pleasure and passion. The album will be very electronic with Shakira’s characteristic sound, a mixed of oriental melodies with some samples of dubstep, following the trend of modern EDM with a non-generic approach. No release date or tracklist has been set or confirmed as of yet, and the album art and title are subject to change. The first single off the album is rumored to be a song released in 2012 which is either titled "Truth or Dare" or "I Dare You." The music video was filmed in Lisbon on June 29, 2012, but has not been released yet. It is rumored to debut on radio on April and released on early-May 2013. A rough copy of the song has been floating around Youtube since last year. She already worked with producers, song-writers, artists and DJs such as Dominican DJ Venus X, Benny Blanco, Tïesto, RedOne, Max Martin, Dr. Luke, LMFAO, Akon, Fernando Garibay, Sia, Ester Dean, Skrillex, The Runners, The Dream, Shea Taylor and Billboard. She was also signed to Roc Nation under management purposes for her upcoming studio album.
