Nelly Furtado: It’s All About Freedom

If you’ve seen MTV or listened to the radio lately, you’ve definitely heard Nelly Furtado’s sweet vocals tickle your eardrum. Or you’ve felt the beats of her new album, laid down by uber-producer Timbaland. Nevertheless, Nelly is everywhere.

Nelly’s hugely successful album “Loose” was written in a period of her life when she felt free. "I think I started recording this album the same month I stopped nursing my daughter."

"Maybe I did feel liberated. I finally went, `Oh my body's finally mine again - yippee!' You have a lot to write about, too. That's why the album's ... like an emotional whirlwind," Furtado told press.

The 29-year-old “hot mom” is responsible for hits like “Promiscuous” and “Maneater.” The album’s fun-loving vibe may have come from her ended relationship with her daughter’s father, DJ Jasper Gahunia. "Breakups are liberating, in a way, but then also motherhood's liberating," notes Furtado.

If you haven’t experienced her new album, “Loose” be sure to drop by iTunes or your local record shop to give it a listen.
