It’s been almost 6 years since Nelly Furtado set the charts ablaze with her career-defining album ‘Loose’. Produced almost entirely by Timbaland, the 2006 set churned out hit after hit, etching the words ‘Promiscuous’ and ‘Maneater‘ into Pop consciousness.
And then it went silent.
Furtado spent the years following raising her daughter and releasing Spanish material.
However, the wheels are finally a-turning for the singer’s return to the English speaking charts. And this time she’s enlisted help of a noted hitmaker.
Posting a new video diary to her official Youtube, the 33 year old revealed that the project codenamed ‘T.S.I’) is being laced with production from none other than Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins (‘Lose My Breath’, ‘Telephone’, ‘Feedback’):
Exciting times! Darkchild is as stellar as stellar gets as a producer. Although, one has to wonder if Timbaland (who was responsible for Nelly’s huge resurgence) will contribute the LP in any capacity.
Not that we’re entirely too fussed. He was slaying something vicious a few years back, however his beats these days are late and lacking. That said, producer and artist “comebacks” are but one hit away. Let’s hope, it plays as such for Ms. Furtado.
Your thoughts?
Glad to know Nelly Furtado is making her way back to the charts I know the material will be HOTT
Nelly is great! She’s gonna comeback HARD!
love u nelly
and of course timbo will work with her 😉
XD
I’m ready!!!!!!!!
Yaaaaaass loose was my album i hope there are tons of pop club music on her next LP but i also agree timbaland has been lackluster lately
YES!GO NELLY!I like her a lot and Loose was a beast! (not that ‘Woah Nelly’ and ‘Folklore’ were bad 😉 ).I can’t wait for her comeback (as long as it sounds nothing like ‘The Night Is Young’ 😳 ).She’s really creative and I like the fact that she’s working with urban producers, they showcase her edginess so well 🙂
(Timbaland will be involved in the project and so will the Neptunes and probably Missy Elliott too 😎 )
Excited!
WOW, Love Darkchild think they could be big together, hope she does at least on Timbaland produced song.
Yay, the return of an actual ARTIST
not a fame w****
Nelly writes, plays instruments and never tried to INFLATE herself.
She lets her artistry speak for her.
SO Excited! Folklore is my ish still. Hope it’s epic.
yes, i can never forget loose album …. was listening to it back to back on an 8-hour flight
I hope Danja’s in line for this project, too. He and Nelly had something going last time around.
funny that Darkchild only produced flops lately, including 2 of the ones you quoted
hellz yeah!!!i’m so ready for her new album!you have been missed Nelly!!!
