<P>In her previous videos, <MTVNLINK type="artist" id="504144">Shakira</MTVNLINK>'s gone <a href="/news/articles/1638066/shakira-unveils-waka-waka-this-time-africa.jhtml">global</a>, <a href="/news/articles/1632776/shakira-scores-love-with-tennis-pro-rafael-nadal-new-video.jhtml">game-set-match</a> and, after shooting <a href="/news/articles/1617328/shakira-summons-her-inner-wolf-eye-popping-new-video.jhtml">"She Wolf,"</a> probably to the chiropractor. And now, in her new video for "Loca," she's gone guerrilla.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Loca (Sneak Peek)" id="vid:576604" width="240" height="211"></div><p></P><P>Shot run-and-gun style in Barcelona last month, the "Loca" clip follows Shakira and her crew on a madcap dash around the city — including scenes shot in a public fountain and on the back of a motorcycle, which got her in <a href="http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/shakira_loca_in_barcelona_sale_el_sol_-_the_sun_comes_out_released_on_octob/" target="_blank">hot water</a> with local authorities. Thanks to all that, it's a decidedly different turn from her past efforts, most of which were big-budget affairs, and all of which avoided getting her in trouble with the law.</P><P>"Loca" — which features a cameo by British rapper Dizzee Rascal — is the first single off her new album, <i>Sale El Sol</i> (due October 19), and while the full video won't premiere until Wednesday on MTV.com, you can watch an exclusive 30-second sneak peek right now. There's roller skating, frolicking in a fountain, (very public) costume changes, motorcycle riding and — of course — a whole lot of hip-shaking, too. It's sexy, cheeky and, yes, even a little bit crazy, but then again, what Shakira video isn't? And while "Loca" may be a departure from her previous clips, what makes it great is the simple fact that <i>none</i> of her pop contemporaries — not even Lady Gaga — would dare try something like this. And that's why we love her so much.</P><P>But why are you reading this? Have a look at our exclusive preview of "Loca" right now, and make sure to check back on Wednesday for the full experience. Trust us, it's worth it.</P><P><i>Are you excited for Shakira's "Loca" video? Let us know in the comments!</i></P>
