Furtado, 37, will return to Victoria on July 25 to perform at the Royal Theatre.
The former Mount Doug High School student, who released her first official song in four years Wednesday, is involved with Phoenix, a Syrian-refugee fundraising concert for the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society that features Alex Cuba and Neil Osborne of 54-40.
Furtado named the event after a song of the same name on her forthcoming sixth album, which is due in November.
The concert comes on the heels of a rush of activity from Furtado, who stayed quiet on the music front for the better part of four years.
In the years since her last album, 2012’s The Spirit Indestructible, she has been writing songs on guitar, the same way she penned the material for her star-making debut, 2000’s Whoa, Nelly! Furtado believes The Spirit Indestructible was her final pop album.
can't wait to hear what she has in the bag, she always changes her sound radically with every record!
