Shakira's "Ciega Sordomuda", one of the best produced songs of the 90s imo, and like a lot of her early work, uses Spanish in a rhythmically interesting way.
7 Seconds The song is trilingual as Youssou N'Dour sings in three languages: French, English and the West African language Wolof. Neneh Cherry sings only in English.
