Thats right, this is confirmation that “The Grass is Green” WILL be released in Germany on the 28th February 2005. You can also pre-order if you are live in Germany by clicking this link. The single is priced at €6.99.

“The Grass is Green” - 28/02/05 - amazon.de

Another one for the collection! Its a shame that the single wasn’t released around the world. But i know for a fact that it depends on the actual record company within the country on whether or not a single will be released. But then again, i guess Nellys managment would have the authority to push record companies into releasing singles, who knows! Enjoy!

Apparently there are rumours that Nelly Furtados next single to be released is "The Grass Is Green", so far the news has been reported in Germany.. Lets hope that the release will spread to other countries. Read more about the single release here (In Germany)

More information

“The Grass Is Green” is after “Powerless”, “Força”, “Try” and “Explode” the 5th single from Nelly Furtado’s successful album “Folklore”. With the success of “Folklore” Nelly confirms that she’s got what it takes to be a superstar. Absolutely everybody knows Nelly Furtado since her performance of “Força” at the European Football Championchips in Lisbon this summer 2004.
