Nelly Furtado confirms title of upcoming English album

Posted in News on February 8th, 2010 by The Prophet

After weeks of online speculation Nelly Furtado has finally officially confirmed that the title of her upcoming English album will be Lifestyle.

The album is currently due for release on May 25th, and confirmed producers for the project include Salaam Remi, Ryan Tedder, and Timbaland.

Not much is known about the sound of the album yet, but Nelly has said that it may be a little different to her multi-Platinum smash Loose, and that it will be pop with a fun “light energy” similar to her debut Whoa Nelly.

I can’t wait!

MUSIC VIDEO: Tiesto Featuring Nelly Furtado… Minus Nelly Furtado

Posted in Music Videos on January 19th, 2010 by The Prophet

The wonderful Nelly Furtado is featured on the latest single from trance artist Tiesto “Who Wants to Be Alone”, which is taken from the Dutch DJ’s fourth album Kaleidoscope.

The only problem is that Nelly is M.I.A. for the official music video which hit the web today. It’s really a shame to because the song is bangin’, but I guess Nelly is busy with her other projects.

The 31-year-old is currently working on her official Mi Plan tour, as well as recording her next English album with Ryan Tedder and Timbaland which is currently due for release on May 25th.

Nelly Furtado announces release date for new “fun pop” English album!

Posted in News on December 15th, 2009 by The Prophet

Nelly Furtado has announced that the official release date of her fourth English album will be May 25th, 2010.

She also opened up a little about the vibe of the record, comparing it to her debut critically-acclaimed ‘Whoa, Nelly!’.

“I think just generally it’s still going to be pop but I want it to have a more light energy. Sort of like my first album, but not sonically, more in a spiritual sense… more like my first album.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be the same sound [as Loose] but I have worked a little bit with Timbaland who produced that album so it might have some of the same fun and energy, but not like exactly the same.”

Oh thank God. It sounds to me like Nelly isn’t going to let Timbaland recycle those same old beats, and she’ll be pushing him creatively to try new things and create some magic like on Loose.

I think that Whoa Nelly scrapes in as her best album though, so to know that she’s combining the vibe of that album with Loose whilst still trying new things has me pretty confident about her next record.

Also currently attached to the album are Ryan Tedder and Salaam Remi. Who else would you like to see Nelly work with? I think if she’s using Timbo then she definitely needs Danja to. Are you excited for the new English album? I know I am! *hyperventilates and dies*

SNAPPED: Nelly Furtado / Leighton Meester / Paulina Rubio / Pink

Posted in Candids on December 12th, 2009 by The Prophet

My girl Nelly Furtado struck a pose on the blue carpet 40 Principales 2009 Awards in Madrid, Spain.

The 31-year-old is still promoting her Spanish album Mi Plan, but is also writing her next English album with Timbaland.

Since she’s working with Timbo let’s hope that her album is more Loose/FSLS and less Shock Value II.

Singer-actress Leighton Meester was snapped Friday night at the Z100 Jingle Ball 2009 party.

In addition to working on her debut album (Due March) Leighton is also preparing to shoot a new movie about country music with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth is in one of my favourite movies The Royal Tenenbaums and I’ve had a soft spot for her ever since, so I’ll definitely be first in line to see her new movie with Leighton.

Skanky Mexican singer Paulina Rubio was snapped in one of her trademark hooker outfits in Madrid on Thursday where she accepted a plaque for her Gold and Platinum certified CD’s.

Work those thigh-highs Polly!

Pop-rocker Pink was all smiles on Friday when the paps snapped her arriving back to her hotel in England.

The singer is currently performing her Funhouse Tour in London. Once she wraps that up she’ll be heading straight out on her next tour  “The Funhouse Summer Carnival tour”, which will have a new setlist and will see her touring across Europe playing festivals, theme parks, and arenas.

P!nk is pretty unstoppable in Australia right now. Her new Funhouse tour DVD is already 23x Platinum after two months, whilst the album is 10x Platinum.

MUSIC VIDEO: Nelly Furtado – Mas

Posted in Music Videos on November 9th, 2009 by The Prophet

Nelly Furtado is still hocking her Spanish album Mi Plan with the release of her second single “Mas”. My God given skill for translating foreign languages (aka Wikipedia) tells me that Nelly is singing about about being in a bad relationship that’s continuing to get worse, and wanting to be loved “more” (mas).

This is a great video with a really good storyline. I know we’ve seen it all before but it was shot really well, and Nelly’s acting was definitely on point. I really believed what was happening between the couple, and I loved when Nelly finally had enough and kicked her cheating mans ass.

Only Nelly Furtado could lay down an ass whooping without looking messy. She’s a class act and she’s gonna slay ya faves when her next English album drops.
