A bold move to make a comeback with a spanglish track, but I'm looking forward to this obviously.

Didn't she come back by featuring in a DJ song?

Oops! Your point is valid, but I was referring to a song which is leading her next project. That said, I thought it was going to be an english track, not a spanglish one, as I previously mentioned.

She talks about the track in her new Vogue interview:

Furtado plays two tracks from what will be her seventh studio album; her sixth, The Ride, came out in 2017. First, there’s the party-ready “Showstopper,” which nods melodically to Furtado’s 2006 hit “Promiscuous”; and then “Corazón,” another uptempo dance track, but this one sung in both English and Spanish. “The essence of the song is that we’re just out here living and trying to do our best,” Furtado says. It’s a club anthem in the making, sure (among its lyrics: “We lose control—that’s how we are”), but its meaning is clearly much deeper for Furtado. “Even when we make mistakes, it’s coming from the heart,” she continues. “When it comes from the heart, it’s never a mistake.”

Some more music related bits from the interview:

Let’s talk about the new music that you have on the horizon. You have an album in the works! What can we expect?

I worked on it a lot in Toronto; I’d just bring a bunch of people to the studio, and we’d jam till like 8 a.m. I have another song coming out this summer. It’s featuring Bomba Estério; it’s in Spanish and English. And I have a lot of other stuff that’s almost finished. I’m in the mixing phase right now. I’ve been working with a lot of really interesting females. I have a track with WondaGurl that I really love, and I have a really beautiful song with Charlotte Day Wilson. I worked with a lot of young new talent, too. There’s this young songwriter named Charmie that has been writing with me.

Would you ever work with Timbaland again?

Yeah! We have plans, for sure. It’s kind of funny because everyone I’m working with on my new stuff is a big fan of his—like T-Minus, who produced my new track. I actually talked to Timbaland recently, and we had this amazing two-hour FaceTime call. We were talking about when we made Loose, and getting into all these stories. He told me he loved how I sounded on “Eat Your Man.” It was nice to have his blessing on the new stuff, because Dom [Dolla]’s a really big fan of his as well.

I love that your new song with Bomba Estéreo has Spanish in it. You’ve always been proud of your Portuguese heritage: why has that been important to you and your sound?

It was very natural. This song came out of this reawakening of self and community, after having met these beautiful Colombian goddesses who are kicking ass in the music world. It was important for me to remember who I am. I needed that boost of confidence.

Where did you record the song?

It was actually recorded in three different cities. Bomba Estéreo had a sold-out concert in Toronto, so I flew back from L.A. that day and made it to the show just in time. Afterwards. I was like, “Li, you have to come to the studio and record a verse on this track I did—and I want the whole band to come.” I got the whole band into an Uber with all their instruments—Colombian flutes, drums, and guitars. The big Uber didn’t come in time, so I stuffed them into a Suburu or something. We get to the studio, and I got tequila and chicken wings for everyone, and we just did it. About a month later, Li then recut her verse in New York City, and T-Minuis and I finished it in L.A. It was such a labor of love.

We can’t wait to see what you wear in your new videos! What will you be up to in the meantime, for the rest of the summer?

Not to quote my own lyrics, but I’ll be “a supermodel and mommy—si mami.” The summer will be pretty busy! We just went to Mexico for the Machaca festival. It was my first show in Mexico in a long time; I was super excited to sing some of my Spanish material. Then we have a couple more shows in the summer, and I’ll make some appearances with Dom Dolla. And I’ll have more music coming out. It’s all lined up!

Bomba Estéreo is also credited as a collaborator, so I updated the thread's title.

Our Friday! Can't wait for this - hope she gives it somewhat of a push, it sounds like a very interesting song.

[franzjoseph]

I love it, Nelly is back yall and I'm so happy!

[Mike]

Love this

[vsw]

Looove it!

[phisig282]

This is so different, so cultural, and so well done. Each time I listen I discover something new. This is SO good. It’s been on repeat!

[franzjoseph]

Top 30 on Canadian Top 40 radio now, I guess with Nelly and Lido writing the song (Canadians), T-minus producing it (Canadian) and the fact is was recorded in Toronto means Corazon actually qualifies as Cancon so it's getting some good radio support in Canada!

[franzjoseph]

Top 20 on Canadian Top 40 radio - her biggest radio hit since Big Hoops (and will pass that very soon at this rate)

[franzjoseph]

Top 15 on Canadian Top 40 radio!

Music video also passed 5 million views and it passed 1.5 million streams on Spotify. She teased a Brazillian funk remix earlier so here's hoping they plan to release that at sone point.

I love this one! Love Bites was good, but it sounded like a song where Nelly jumped on at the last minute. This one is pretty much her through and through.
