Nelly Furtado talks new album. 2 part album on the way?

Yeah I’m working on it right now. It’s coming out in 2011, and originally it was titled Lifestyle. It’s kind of funny. The way I picked the new songs for Best of Nelly Furtado was I was just coming off my Latin American tour for Mi Plan and two of my songs got leaked on the internet. Somebody in eastern Europe or something leaked the songs on the internet. One song was Night Is Young and the other song was Girlfriend In The City, but they were kind of horrible versions that weren’t even finished and not mixed. So I thought okay, a lot of my fans have heard these new songs anyway in their rough version, I might as well finish them and put them out properly on the greatest hits album. It kind of seemed like the natural choice. And then the third selection is Stars, which is a song Lester Mendez and I wrote a couple years ago when we were doing the Loose sessions. It’s one of those songs that I think people who like Folklore will like, because it’s more intimate and slow.
After the Spanish album I got exposed to a lot of Latin singers who sang with so much passion and real integrity. I think I started taking my job more seriously in the last five years, but in the last year more than ever because Mi Plan was a Nelstar release with just my own label. All the creative and so many details were so homegrown and personal for me. It’s kind of taken my focus in a new direction.

I would say that’s a working title right now. I haven’t totally decided on that title, Lifestyle. My goal is to put out two albums in two years, actually, like a Lifestyle Part 1 and Part 2. I think this new album is going to be all English. It’ll be my first only-English album.
can't wait
