As much as I love Nelly, that performance was very off key and the music sounded like loads of busy noise. I'll stick to "Behind Your Back" and "Pipe Dreams" for now. How can she be off key when she sounded just like the studio version? I'm a little out of the loop, I thought this was the premiere of "Cold Hard Truth". I suppose I should have said whatever key she's singing in is not doing my ears any favors. Unrelated, "Pipe Dreams" has quickly become one of my favorite Nelly songs. I was kind of meh about it at first, but now I am absolutely hooked.

CHT > PD for me. The former is more of the sound I was expecting since John Congleton is producing her.

She sang another new song from the album the other day titled "Phoenix".
I'm curious when/if we are going to get the lead single from this album with like a video and radio roll out. Or is she not going to do that kind of stuff anymore?

Considering she's completely independent, I seriously doubt anything will be released to radio. In her AOL Build interview, she did say several visuals would be released from the album but that they will be "staggered".

Can't believe "Island of Me" is not included in the album.

Wow, that's insane. How time flies.
"Say It Right" is one of the songs from that period of time that I still hear often. It's still incredible and still fresh, it never gets stale imo.

I used to be a huge Nelly fan back in the Loose days. I even bought her first 2 albums after Loose continuously slayed my then teenage soul for 2 years straight and ended up loving them both. That said, I'm a bit sad that she went all self-empowerment and life-is-good-and-be-optimistic on us with T.S.I. and, from what it sounds like, The Ride as well. I wish she kept some of the sexiness Loose had or go full-on depressed mode a la Folklore which is one of the moodiest records I've ever heard. I'll forever love her and support her no matter what but as a longtime fan, I have to say that the last few records remind me nothing of the Nelly I grew up with apart from a few songs here and there. She's obviously getting older and has gone through different experiences as compared to when she first started but I can't help but complain since she's not releasing often enough to keep me hooked.

I would like to see her perform these songs some more. Interviews are great but most of all she needs to get out there and PERFORM.

The Ride is an independent release and a hangover from a fast-paced career that went into further overdrive in 2006 when the Canadian singer released her third album, Loose. For Furtado and its producer Timbaland, Loose was a game-changer, spitting out chart hits such as Do It, Say It Right, Promiscuous and Maneater, a throbbing pop song that was mastered with powers born from the occult. “I started in the music industry at the age of 20. Now I’m 38. So, I’ve seen a lot and I’ve done a lot. I call it a hangover album exactly because you can run, you can hide but eventually, you have to take the journey within yourself,” says Furtado. “It’s so easy to be distracted with work in a career and motherhood and everything but eventually you will catch up with yourself and you will have to look at the ugly bits. And you will have to do the very unglamorous task of just, kind of like, stripping away all the distractions.” Just living When pop stars – or anyone, actually – talk about journeys, it’s difficult to stop your eyes from rolling out of your head but when Furtado “stripped away all the distractions”, it meant spending more time with her now 13-year-old daughter and learning about the world around her. She learned how to sew, studied playwriting and she went on several trips to Kenya with WE Charity, formerly known as Free the Children. “I think there’s something to be said for just living a life, you know?” One artist who she thinks gets it right is Blood Orange, who she collaborated with on his 2016 album Freetown Sound. “He told me how he had once had this very, very jam-packed touring schedule and he realised very quickly that it wasn’t making him happy. It wasn’t making him happy so he had to slow down and do the things that made him happy,” she says. “And when I met him, I was at a point in my career where I was like, ‘Yeah, I need a new way to enjoy this . . .’ ” This advice led her to working on a sound art installation at Art Basel in Miami and a songwriting installation at the MoMa PS1 – an art institution in New York – but, ultimately, this new way led to The Ride. She wanted The Ride to have an “alternative” sound so when she asked her good pal Annie Clark (St Vincent) what she should do, she pointed in the direction of John Congleton, who has produced music for Goldfrapp, Spoon, Modest Mouse, David Byrne, Sparks and Explosions in the Sky among others. With this recommendation, Furtado flew to Dallas, Texas, and showed up at his studio “kind of just cold turkey” to see what they could make. These new songs just tumble out of my mouth and they just feel so natural to me." Kind of naked And what they made is a “raw, vulnerable, kind of naked” album that explores the repercussions of being sold and believing in pipe dreams. “It’s kind of like I went to John Congleton’s studio to confess all of my sins,” she drawls in a way that pokes fun at the seriousness of it all, adding that it was a bold move for them to work together. “I think it was a risk for him to work with a pop artist, personally, because he has never really done a pop album since the days of engineering at the studio he used to work at. I think he did Barney – the kids’ show,” she hoots. “Since Barney, I’m the first pop artist that John has worked with.” The Ride is a pop album with a conscience and the music is reflective of an artist who has come full circle in her career.

Nelly is going to be on The Today Show tomorrow and she will be performing "Powerless (Say What You Want)". Despite she didn't mention any track from The Ride, I assume she will do one too. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSPU_cshvit
