Nelly Furtado serves up first Lifestyle leak with “Girlfriend in this City”

Yesterday an unmastered demo of a new Nelly Furtado song surfaced online. Titled “Girlfriend in this City”, the track is believed to be from the recording sessions of her upcoming album Lifestyle.

Even in its unfinished form you can hear that “Girlfriend in this City” is a little more organic like Nelly’s first two albums, but still doesn’t quite fit into the acoustic based Folklore or the folky R&B of her debut Whoa Nelly, and it definitely doesn’t have the sleek urban-pop sheen of her commercial smash Loose.

I love the song and it’s a little pop, so I get the feeling that Lifestyle will sound like a melding pot of all her previous albums, with a few new things thrown in for good measure.

The new album is currently due out in May, and will feature production from Ryan Tedder, Tiesto, and Salaam Remi.

    The live instruments overpowering her voice. Her vocals arent that strong to be doing music like this.

    It’s just a demo though, it’s not even finished. I like it for something that’s just half done.

    It sounds really pretty, and would probably be fantastic with the mixing finished.

    Adoro a Nelly Furtado. É uma cantora no verdadeiro sentido da palavra, ela vive cada momento, cada letra, cada sonoridade. Ela é um exemplo na minha vida. Para além de bonita é extremamente inteligente. O Timbaland só trabalha com gente com muito talento e as saus colaboraçoes são cada vez mais constantes. Adoro-te não pares!!! O mundo é teu…
