The Colombian stunner Shakira is back with a brand new steamy music video for the provocative "Can't Remember To Forget You," and this time the Bajan beauty Rihanna has also come along for the ride. In spite of the song's title, the Caribbean ladies get up close and personal, and make for a sizzling combination, and, naturally, it is hot and fierce! The post-breakup duet is the first single from off of the "Voice" coach's upcoming self-titled inaugural album with Sony label RCA, her first since 2010, hits shelves March 25.
Co-written by the singers with Swedish singer-songwriter Erik Hassle, "Can't Remember To Forget You," is an uptempo New Wave track with Ska elements, finds the two stars lamenting on their inability to forget lovers who are bad for them. "Working with Rihanna was utopia. She's the sexiest woman on the planet," the 36-year-old Colombian singer said in Glamour magazine. "And at the end of the day, we're both just basically Caribbean girls. The chemistry was so good and so real. She taught me dance moves. She was a sweet teacher."
Shakira's relationship with Spanish soccer player Gerard Pique, was definitely not an inspiration for the track. She told Ryan Seacrest: "I'm going through a completely different experience right in relation to the song. The song is about that guy that just gets under your skin and you can't leave alone. I think every woman has been through that. This song is not exactly a reflection of my personal life right now." She also noted working with Rihanna, "You know, we're both from the Caribbean so I always thought we had that common ground, but this song is pretty Reggae. I honestly thought it would never happen... She heard the record and she loved it and she said she was onboard and I was the happiest girl alive."
Shot in a Los Angeles mansion, the Joseph Kahn-directed clip begins with Shakira romping around on a bed as she sings about the mistakes she's made in love before the 25-year-old Rihanna even makes her appearance. The duo then cozy up, smoke cigars, cuddling, make smoldering facial expressions and writhe around together on a bed in revealing outfits as they sing of a post-breakup longing and their mutual addiction to a man who is no good for them, they indulge in a dance off, with a wall separating them, showing off their coordinating choreography which gets progressively raunchier. Things heat up as they return to the cabana by the pool and caress each other with Rihanna placing her hand on Shakira's pert posterior.
