The “Maneater” queen herself, Nelly Furtado, is dropping a new album called “7” on September 20th!
Nelly spilled the beans on Instagram, along with a cover that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows (or ten) – she’s topless with the number “7” painted on her back. Talk about making a statement!
Here’s the juicy scoop straight from the horse’s mouth:
“Alright, buckle up. How do you explain a song that took two years, three cities, and a small village of people to create? And that’s just for one track called CORAZÓN ❤️🔥. I know, it sounds bonkers, but this isn’t just a job for me. It’s like trying to explain why cats hate water – it’s just personal. Music is my thing, my love language, my blessing, and sometimes it’s tough to put a ribbon on that,” she started, already hinting at the whirlwind to come.
“I first caught the vibe for Corazón on a trip to Colombia with some pals. Fast forward four years, and boom, I have an album. It’s all about the journey, man. And the sad part? You can’t replay the magic of that journey – the lessons and all that jazz happen along the way 🤓😭.”
“Now, get this – I made 400 to 500 pieces of music in four years. My ADHD basically threw a rave in my brain, so organizing these tracks was like herding cats. We somehow picked 14 songs that floated to the top like the cream of the crop. It’s like collecting random seashells: they’re kinda alike but not really. This album is not your grandma’s wallpaper music. You can skip songs if you want, no hard feelings. My goal? To give you some musical portals to trip out, escape, and release. Trust me, I need music like caffeine – my brain doesn’t even boot up without it,” Nelly shared.
“Anyway, I’ll TRY to show you the chaos with some photos, videos, and wild stories. I lived it, I cried the tears, made the friends, felt the highs, the lows, and learned a truckload. That’s what counts. Plus, every time I doubted myself, the number 7 kept popping up. Spooky, right? 🫶🏼 Love you all ❤️🔥,” she continued, making us all feel like we’re part of her wild ride.
“And P.S., I didn’t do this alone. Huge shoutout to EVERYONE who jammed with me, made stuff, and stuck around through this entire rollercoaster. You’re all legendary in my book. ‘7’ is coming at ya on 9/20. Bye for now, off to make more tunes… ❤️🔥🫶🏼,” she concluded, leaving us all counting down the days.
Get ready for Nelly Furtado’s “7” – it’s gonna be a wild, musical rollercoaster! 🎢
