Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Subtle but strong message of independence and "I will survive" enthusiasm for life. There's also a song that questions religious dogma.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    A lot of relationship stuff and sexy singing, but nothing explicit.
  • Language:

    Overwrought but all clean.
  • Consumerism:

    Insert advertises other products by the artist.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Oral Fixation: Volume 2

Parents need to know that there are some religious references and some "I'd give it all up for you, baby" sentiment on these well-written songs. Shakira's scantily clad image on the cover is about as risqué as it gets: A lot of relationship stuff and sexy singing, but nothing too explicit.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the musical translation from Spanish to English, and back again. Do the two languages vary in how they sound? Do you like listening to a song in another language even if you don't know what the artist is singing? If you could make an album in another language which one would it be and why?

    *Sigh*

    Honestly, this album just seems a little less catchier than the first. It still has the same sound, which is good but has somehow hooked more people, but with a different angle.
