Shakira - Ojos Así
1999
"Ojos Así" is a song by Colombian singer Shakira and was released as the fifth single from her fourth studio album, Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). Infused with nuances of Arabic pop, the lyrics tell of the singer travelling the world but not having seen eyes like her lover's. It was written by Shakira, composed and produced by her, Pablo Flores, and Javier Garza. It is sung mostly in Spanish, with a few verses and backing chorus in Arabic. It was later adapted into English by Gloria Estefan as "Eyes Like Yours" and included on Shakira's first English studio album Laundry Service (2001).
Music critics praised "Ojos Así" as one of the album's best tracks. "Eyes Like Yours", however, was met with a less favourable reception, with reviewers commenting that it paled compared to the original.
At the inaugural Latin Grammy Awards in 2000, "Ojos Así" won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and received a Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) Latin Award in 2002. The music video won the International Viewer's Choice Award (North) at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
"Ojos Así" ranked on several charts in Europe and was a top-ten hit on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay chart in USA.
It received a total of 78,8% yes votes!
