Nelly Furtado’s brand-new album “Loose” will hit stores worldwide on 20th June 2006. The record was initially slated for release in May but due to Nelly’s tour dates in Europe, Geffen decided to delay the release until after her concert commitments.

At first listen, “Loose” is an explosion of pure, raw energy. Continuing her “Força,” Nelly and Timbaland gather big beats and cheeky raps with lots of dance floor-ready production tricks.

Good examples of Nelly’s new vibe are the first singles “Promiscuous” (for the USA - a saucy, ghetto fabulous duet with Timbaland) and the irresistible club track “Maneater” (for the rest of the world).

The entire album sounds like a rough cut with studio chatting and Nelly’s giggling between tracks and even into the songs that creates a very informal (read: loose) atmosphere on the album.

“Loose” will surely be one of the most noteworthy pop releases of 2006 that will please her fans and pleasantly surprise the masses.

Here is a description of the feature by shmannon from the BITS forum

I’m wondering who made those promo pics for Loose, because they were used on ET Canada as the background before they went to her interview!! Your pics were on TV YAY!

It was her in barbados, in the same outfit with the jeans and the green shirt, and curly hair. They kept flipping to shots of her performing Maneater and PG live, I don’t know where, but it looked like still in Barbados. As for the band members, I saw Dean Jarvis, the drummer from CAYA tour, and the black quitarist with the dreads, didn’t see lil’ jaz. In my opinion PG sounds much better live!

The reporter asked where Nevis was, and she said she was with her dad in Toronto, so they must still talk if they’re not together anymore, so that’s good!

They talked about how she felt during Folklore compared to now, despite critisism that she had gained alot of weight. Nelly said that she could finally get back to shape after she finished nursing, and has just recently gone back to the gym, and she recommends weights to “all ages…giggle giggle”.

When she was performing in the short clips, she was wearing very tight red pants, a black tank top, her hair was pulled back ( it looked quite black to me !) and she had big hoop earrings again, red lipstick and she was dancing around on stage almost like J.Lo did in the movie Selena! She sounded good, it was a small stage so she could only really walk back and forth.

Other than that, that’s pretty much it. I didn’t see any clips at all from the video, barbados. They also kept advertising for the interview before it happened during the show, and the first one they had an audio clip of her singing a slower song I have never heard before, it sounded ok but I barely heard any of it. And they talked about the same stuff bla bla timbaland bla bla chris martin pharell etc. It was exciting. She is the exact same person it seems, really funny, bubbly, talkative, it was good! They still said the album comes out 23rd May 20th June 2006…

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
