Shakira: "Beyonce is Amazing"

Sultry hip-swinger Shakira reckons Beyonce's Spanish accent is as fantabulous as the woman herself.

The pair hooked up to record a new track called 'Beautiful Liar' for Bey's re-released 'B'Day' album -which will also include six Spanish language tunes.

Shak told MTV, "(Beyonce) has a very good accent when she sings in Spanish and I think anything that she wants to do she will do just fine, because she is a very determined and focused woman and that is something to admire. She is a great artist."

She added, "I am very happy and very excited about (working with Bey). I have just finished shooting a video with her. It was a fantastic experience to work with her, to get to know her as the great artist that she is.

"She is an amazing performer and also a sweet person and a very nice human being and I am so thrilled and thankful for her invitation. It was her idea to make me a part of her album and it has been wonderful."

We take it things went well then...

Beyonce's double disc, revamped versh of 'B'Day' will hit the shelves at the beginning of April.
