Nelly Furtado
Multi-platinum global superstar Nelly Furtado is back! …And we at Digital Rebel are very honoured to do her UK based Social Media.
The new album ‘The Spirit Indestructible’ was released on September 17th . The album’s first single ‘Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)’, which Furtado co-wrote with Rodney Jerkins, was released on June 4th . Nelly co-wrote each song on ‘The Spirit Indestructible’, which, in keeping with her musicallyeclectic nature, finds her working with an array of collaborators from across the musical spectrum, including hip-hop songwriter-producer Salaam Remi (Furtado’s ‘The Night is Young’, Nas), pop songwriter-producer Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Lady Gaga), veteran metal producer Bob Rock (Metallica), Dutch DJ and EDM producer Tiesto, rock songwriter and producer John Shanks, and Jamaican reggae producer Da Genius. A deluxe version of the album features several bonus tracks, including Furtado’s collaborations with Fraser T. Smith (Adele), producer and Passion Pit lead singer Mike Angelakos, and a track featuring the Kenyan Boys Choir that Furtado produced herself.
She says: “I began writing these songs around the time I released my Spanish album ‘Mi Plan’,….I was in a great headspace, feeling refreshed and ready to really deliver in English again. This album is all about positivity, youth, good energy, and the relentlessness of the spirit. I want people to live this music the way we did when we wrote it. I want them to jump, dance, scream, laugh, cry, love, and vibe to it, and to turn it up very loud everywhere.”
‘The Spirit Indestructible’ is Furtado’s first English-language studio album since 2006’s double-platinum ‘Loose’. In total, Nelly has sold more than 16 million albums and 18 million singles worldwide. She has racked up many international honors, including a Grammy! Amazing.
