The lyrics so far are pretty heavy, very different to TSI's uplifting themes.

ET Canada uploaded the video where Nelly talks about The Ride and she defines it as a 'pop alternative' album. You could watch it here or in the link of the tweet below. She looks gorgeous. But I hate the short hair.

Nelly covered Drake's single "Too Good", which features Rihanna, and it's available exclusively on Spotify.

Drake and Rihanna’s “Too Good” has been covered by everyone from LÉON to Zara Larsson, but nobody has really managed to make it their own apart from Nelly Furtado. The pop veteran casually threw her interpretation on Spotify last night (October 13) and it’s every bit as lovely as her acoustic take on Calvin Harris’ “Feels So Close.” She extracts the melody with the skill of a surgeon and taps into the well of melancholy that lies beneath the song. It’s another reminder that the Canadian is in the middle of a creative revival.
Nelly debuted the first taste of her sixth LP, The Ride, last month (sparkling synth-pop anthem “Islands Of Me”) and opened up about her new, “modern pop-alternative” sound in an interview with i-D. What does that mean? “I write pop melodies, I’ve always written pop melodies,” she explains. “But [producer John Congleton] forces me to dig a little deeper and make sure that I’m coming correct with the lyrics. I was also in a really cool phase in my life where I was going through a difficult time of transition and that helped lyrically. I just had so much to write about.” The “Say It Right” diva also revealed that the album will drop in March, 2017.

Looks like the pre-order of the album will be available since October 28. And I was wrong. All of the songs she has done this year ("Feel So Close", "Behind Your Back" and "Islands of Me"), plus "Too Good", are available to purchase as standalone releases on iTunes. Also, her 'surprise' seems to be the Drake cover.

She always goes such an unexpected way, it's hard to believe there's still genres left which she hasn't dabbled in. And here she is with that organ.

The Magical Story Of How Nelly Furtado And Timbaland Made Loose
- Madonna's "Ray of Light" was the inspiration behind the album - Prior to Timbaland, Nelly already worked with Scott Storch, Pharrell, Nelle Hooper. All of those never materialized obviously - I'm very curious how she worked with Nelle - Maneater was the first song they recorded - "He (Timbaland) was about to get in the studio with Justin Timberlake to record FutureSex/LoveSounds in Virginia. Loose kind of dovetailed into that record, in terms of the vibe." (Anyone like me prefer Loose to FS/LS?) - Nelly was shy about Promiscuous at first, but then she changed her mind and happy about the song "It was created in that tradition of a TLC or a Salt-N-Pepa song, where the women are assertive and just like, 'I'm okay with my sexuality."- Nelly & Timbaland started fighting after Loose came out. She didn't come to his wedding in 2008, their relationship slowly "deteoriated". They're friendly now. (I guess it's obvious to anyone following Nelly's career that she's no longer tight with Timbo. I just didn't know they haven't contacted in such a long while)

I didn't know about the fighting prior to but I knew Timbaland was pissed about her recording TSI without any involvement from him while still signed under his imprint. Glad they've reconciled and I do hope they record together again in the future.

I am surprised Islands of Me is not making the album. Also surprised that cover/title/track list is being released over 3 months before it is being released. Wish she would just release it now!

Easily the worst album cover I have EVER seen. Like...what even is that big green nipple thing creeping from the side to attack her and why is she so unbothered by it? Speaking of Nelstar, Parking Lot came on my phone today while on the train and took me by surprise. I started rocking out on the train, didn't care who saw. SUCH a jam.

Speaking of Nelstar, Parking Lot came on my phone today while on the train and took me by surprise. I started rocking out on the train, didn't care who saw. SUCH a jam. I know whenever "Parking Lot" comes on while I'm driving I have to calm myself because I get too into the song and become distracted! How that didn't do anything as a single I'll never understand. I'm sad "Islands Of Me" won't be on the album. But I'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing, love me some Nelly!
