Thanks to Jeremy from BITS for the scan.

On her new disc, Furtado called in some of the best hip-hop and R&B producers (Scott Storch, the Neptunes and Timbaland) to help her make an album that mixes R&B, hip-hop and Eighties dance music and could make for some Gwen Stefani comparisons. “I tapped into a really nice energy, a little more light, a little more sexy,” says Furtado.

On the single “Promiscuous Girl,” Furtado and Tim trade come-ons over keyboard lines that recall Purple Rain-era Prince. And the sweet-sad “Showtime,” which Furtado calls “a proper R&B slow jam,” will have girls everywhere singing into their hairbrushes.

Album is due out 23rd May 2006 20th June 2006

Chris Martin is set to feature on the new album from Nelly Furtado. The Coldplay singer features on ‘All Good Things‘ – the closing track on Furtado’s forthcoming third album ‘Loose’.

Martin, who is also rumoured to be collaborating with Kanye West, guested on the track because he wanted to collaborate with celebrated Missy Elliott producer Timbaland, who worked on the album.

Nelly said “I was telling (Chris) what I was up to, and he’s like ‘I love Timbaland. Can I come by?’ But (Timbaland’s) like a big dude and Chris was scared to sit down at the keyboard. I’m like, ‘Chris, sit down. Let’s make some music.’ I’m always the instigator,”

There was also a message too:

I’m working on an exciting new project that involves Nelly Furtado and her upcoming new album “Loose.” I can’t reveal any details at this time, but you’ll be the first to know as soon as I can write more. Check out these amazing new press photos of Nelly that are taken to promote the release of the record. These photos are hot, hot, hot off the presses. In fact, the publication of these photos is pretty much a world exclusive so I decided to give this blog a little credit and put a watermark on them. I posted full-size photography on Flickr.

Nelly Furtado is staging a huge comeback this April when she is scheduled to release “Loose.” The album is currently mixed and mastered in the studio. All ten tracks on the record are produced by hip hop prodigy Timbaland who adds a throbbing bass line and a heavy dose of street cred to Nelly’s sound. The first single will be “Promiscuous Girl” and the album will be released 23rd May 20th June 2006 according to http://nellyfurtado.com The first single off the album is titled “Maneater” and will formally be released on 4th March. A video will be shot in Los Angeles in the next 2 weeks. I was blown away by the track when I first heard it. It is a fresh and melodic, and presents a whole new side of the spunky Canadian singer.

Compared to her peers, Nelly has dared to reinvent herself with a completely new sound that is still distinctively hers. Whereas Pink comes with the same spiel and Paris’ debut CD will be overshadowed by her public persona, Nelly is destined to be this year’s big surprise in my opinion.

Canadian singer conjures more pop hybrid sounds on “Loose”

After a year and a half spent writing new songs, travelling the world to collaborate with Pharrell Williams, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and producer Nellee Hooper (No Doubt, Madonna), Nelly Furtado is finally ready to release her third album, Loose, on 23rd May 20th June 2006.

“It was a very indulgent experience,” says the eclectic Canadian pop singer. “It was actually the most idyllic sort of album-making ever. It’s sort of every artist’s dream, where you’re flown around the world, just kind of having a good time and making music.”

In August, when it came time to lay down the tracks, Furtado turned to hip-hop talent Timbaland, who featured her on Missy Elliott’s “Get UR Freak On” remix in 2001. When Interscope President Jimmy Iovine played Furtado some of the producer’s latest tracks, her reaction was “Wow! It sound[ed] like he’s listening to all the same stuff as me — everything from System of a Down to Bloc Party and Death From Above 1979, and a lot of Coldplay, too.” Within no time, says Furtado, “I was in Miami and having the time of my life.”

Working in the evenings, the pair laid down ten of Loose‘s thirteen tracks, forging a new genre from their shared influences. “We call it ‘punk-hop,’” she says of most of the album’s sound. “We were thinking, ‘Let’s do modern Eurythmics — You’re Dave and I’m Annie. Let’s make this modern, poppy, spooky music.’ And we achieved that on some of the tracks.”

The track “Maneaters,” Furtado says, is “a ‘couture pop’ song, where it’s in your face and very fashionable, stylistic and of-the-moment,” while “No Hay Igual” takes its cues from reggaeton. “I didn’t know what reggaeton was until I went to Miami and Pharrell’s like, ‘You’re crazy!’” she confesses. “He played me a reggaeton song, and then I was like, ‘Holy shit, it’s great!’” She was inspired to write “No Hay Igual,” in Spanish, nearly on the spot.

The album closer “All Good Things,” which features Chris Martin, was actually a last-minute addition, after Furtado bumped into her old friend during August’s MTV Movie Awards. “I was telling him what I was up to, and he’s like, ‘I love Timbaland. Can I come by?’” she recalls. “But [Tim's] like a big dude, and Chris was scared to sit down at the keyboard. I’m like, ‘Chris, sit down. Let’s make some music.’ I’m always the instigator.”

It was, in part, these spontaneous creative decisions that led Furtado to name the album Loose. “I left in all the sour notes; I left in all the giggling,” she says. “It’s good times.”

Here is a message from Nelly

29th Dec 2005

Hello to all of my fans. I am so sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been so busy putting the final touches on my album. The official title of my album is “Loose”. There are 13 tracks. Selecting my favourite tracks to share with all of you was not an easy process, because I had forty tracks to choose from!!!!!!

Thankyou to all the talented producers and musicians I worked with!!! The first official single is called “Maneater”. I recorded this album mostly in Miami, but I did a lot in l.a., and toronto as well.

I am on the process of building a new website dedicated to “Loose”. Stay posted, as I will be running some contests real soon. Keep your ears tuned for the Timbaland Maneater remix featuring Lil’ Wayne.

Love you!!!!!!

Nellyxox

I received some information regarding Nelly Furtados upcoming album; “Loose”, check it out:

She has a lot of upbeat records. Tim and her recorded over ten tracks…but that doesn’t mean they will all be on the final tracklisting. Some song titles from just listening to the tracks “Showtime,” “Hold Me Down,” “All Good Things Come to an End” with Chris Martin (which I believe should be the final song on the album), “Do It To Me,” “No Aye Igual,” and others I don’t know what they would name them. Of course you can guess, but the music is hot.
