By: Nelly FurtadoPrice: $4.47Tried out in preparation for her new album, Loose, NELLY FURTADO collaborations with a who's who of producers, and they tried to create a music more of the body than the mind. A prime example of the latter is first single "Promiscuous," a duet with Loose producer Timbaland, known far and wide for his pioneering work with, among other things, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake and Aaliyah. It stands to reason that gold and several certifications (for 2003's 2000's Folklore and am Whoa, Nelly!, Respectively), a pair of Top 10 singles ( "I Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light") and a Grammy Award (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance), to name a few services would only be a degree of confidence do. But nothing has inspired Furtado to throw caution to the wind more than motherhood. "Motherhood makes you fearless," she says. "The album is very youthful-sounding," Furtado continues, "and I think that partly by the presence of these two-year-old in my life. I was with it was all day every day, and then I would go to the studio at night, and I think in a playful energy I feel translated to the stage, but it did not really listen to my records. "Based on their longtime production team of Track & Field, she also knew she wanted to check out a variety of manufacturers." Working with new producers, "she said threats," is like trying on new clothes - you never know what you look good until you try it. And sometimes they will see something in you that neither you nor anyone else could see. "So she traveled with her daughter from Toronto to London to work with Nellee Hooper, to Los Angeles to work with Lester Mendez (who produced," Te Busque, "her moving duet with Juanes) and Rick Nowels (co-author and Producer of the beautiful ballad "In God's Hands") and to Miami to work with Pharrell Williams and Scott Storch and finally, TIMBALAND. In fact, the raw, lighting - in-a-bottle spontaneity of the collaborative process is located in the heart of Loose. "This record shows who I am in a jam-type environment, where I really feel the excitement flowing creativity, "Furtado shows." It is that I am at my most artistic. I live for that and I am very grateful to be able to share it. "
