From Wiki:
Nelly Kim Furtado ( born December 2, 1978 ) is a
Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer of Portuguese
ancestry. She is a singer-songwriter, record
producer, and actress. She currently lives in
Toronto.
Furtado came to fame in 2000 with the release of
her debut album Whoa, Nelly!, which featured her
breakthrough Grammy Award-winning single "I'm like
a Bird".
After becoming a mother and releasing the less
commercially successful Folklore (2003), she
returned to prominence in 2006 with the release of
Loose and its hit singles "Promiscuous",
"Maneater", "All Good Things (Come to an End)",
and "Say It Right".
Furtado is known for experimenting with different
instruments, sounds, genres, vocal styles and
languages. This diversity has been influenced by
her wide-ranging musical taste and her interest in
different cultures
Whoa, Nelly!
Whoa, Nelly! is the debut album by Canadian
singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by
DreamWorks Records in North America on October 24,
2000 (see 2000 in music).
It peaked at number twenty-four on the U.S.
Billboard 200 chart, and opened to critical
acclaim. It produced three international singles:
"I'm Like a Bird", "Turn off the Light" and "...On
the Radio (Remember the Days)". "Party's Just
Begun (Again)" was a club-only single released
exclusively in the U.S. before the album's
availability in stores,[1] and it was included on
the soundtrack of the 1999 film Brokedown Palace.
When "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was released,
Nelly's label was unsure about the genre in which
to market her. They eventually remixed "Party's
Just Begun (Again)" and included it upon this
album as "Party". The DreamWorks label released
"Trynna Finda Way" as the fourth single in Mexico
and South America, a radio remix of "Hey, Man!" in
the UK and Germany, and "Legend" in South Africa.
The album spent seventy-eight weeks on the
Billboard 200. It hit double-platinum status in
the U.S. in January of 2002.[2]
After the release of the album, Furtado headlined
the Burn in the Spotlight tour and appeared on
Moby's Area:One tour. According to Maclean's
magazine, Whoa, Nelly! had sold seven million
copies worldwide as of August 2006.[3]
Whoa, Nelly! was well received by critics for its
eccentric, yet intriguing instrumentations as well
as Furtado's vocals. It currently holds a score of
79 from MetaCritic.[4]Slant magazine called it "a
delightful and refreshing antidote to the army of
'pop princesses' and rap-metal bands that had
taken over popular music at the turn of the
millennium."[5] The sound of the album was
strongly influenced by musicians who had traversed
cultures and "the challenge of making heartfelt,
emotional music that's upbeat and hopeful."[6]
Stephan Thomas of Allmusic gave a positive review
while commenting that "Furtado is a restless
vocalist, skitting and scatting with abandon,
spitting out rapid repetitions, bending notes, and
frequently indulging in melismas."[7] and also
stating that "Whoa, Nelly! unfolds as a rewarding,
promising debut."[7] Rolling Stones gave Whoa,
Nelly! a positive review calling it a "wild-ass
pop go-go, filled with songs that pursue adventure
yet could still make the hit parades."[8]
As a result of critical acclaim, this album
received 4 nominations at the 2002 Grammy
ceremony. The album itself received a nomination
for Best Pop Vocal Album, while Furtado herself
was nominated for Best New Artist, as well as,
Song of the Year and Best Pop Female Vocal
Performance for "I'm Like a Bird", in which she
received the latter.[9]

Folklore
Folklore is the second album by Canadian pop
singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by
DreamWorks Records in North America on November
25, 2003 (see 2003 in music)
The album's title was influenced by Furtado's
parents' immigration to Canada, "When I look at my
old photo albums, I see pictures of their
brand-new house, their shiny new car, their first
experiences going to very North American-type
places like Kmart. When you have that in your
blood, you never really part with it—it
becomes your own personal folklore."[1] The album
also displayed a diverse sound but with a more
rock-oriented, acoustic approach.[2]Furtado
attributed the mellowness of the album to the fact
that she was pregnant during most of its
recording.[1]
Folklore includes the single "Força"
(meaning "carry on" or "strength" in Portuguese),
which was written as the official anthem of the
2004 European Football Championship. Furtado
performed the song at the championship's final in
Lisbon, in July 2004.[3] Other singles included
the ballad "Try" and "Powerless (Say What You
Want)", in which she embraces her Portuguese
heritage; the song deals with "the idea that you
can still feel like a minority inside, even if you
don't look like one on the outside".[1] Additional
singles were released in certain territories;
"Explode" in Canada and Europe, and "The Grass Is
Green" in Germany.
The album debuted at number eighteen on the
Canadian albums chart with first-week sales of
10,400,[4] and at number thirty-eight on the U.S.
Billboard 200 chart, selling 68,000 in its first
week.[5] According to Nielsen SoundScan, it had
sold 425,000 copies in the U.S. by August 2008.[6]
It was not as successful as Furtado's debut album,
Whoa, Nelly! (2000), partly because of troubles at
DreamWorks Records and the less poppy sound.[7] It
lacked promotion because DreamWorks was sold to
Universal Music Group at the time of Folkore's
release, and it spent only eleven weeks on the
U.S. Billboard 200 chart. In 2005 DreamWorks
Records was shut down, and many of its artists,
including Furtado, were absorbed into Geffen
Records.[8] An enhanced CD, Folklore sold two
million copies worldwide[9] and was most
successful in Germany. Furtado said, "Why do
Germans love this album? I think I figured it out:
It's so cerebral. It's great in its own way, but
that's a different side."[10]
Folklore received mixed reviews from critics.
Allmusic's Stephan Thomas stated that "[w]hile
there are some interesting musical moments on
Folklore -- enough to make it worth a listen --
the dogged seriousness and didactic worldview
become a bit overbearing not long before the album
is a quarter of the way finished, particularly
since the fusion of worldbeat and adult
alternative pop often seems heavy-handed."[11]
Entertainment Weekly gave a positive review
stating that " exultant music goes on its merry,
multicultural way"[12]. While Rolling Stone gave a
negative review , calling Folklore "slick,
multicultural hodgepodge" but without a "good as a
single as I'm Like A Bird" [13]As she focused more
on the songwriting rather "than on frenetically
switching genres five times in one song",[1] BBC
felt that it had "twice the originality" of her
debut.[7]

Loose (International Tour Edition)
Loose is the third album by Canadian
singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by
Geffen Records June 20, 2006 in North America (see
2006 in music). Timbaland and his
then-protégé Danja produced the bulk
of the album, which incorporates influences of
dance, R&B and hip hop. The album explores the
theme of female sexuality and has been described
as introspective or even sad in parts. Its
influence comes from some of the themes expressed
in the material of artists such as Janet
Jackson.
The album received criticism because of the sexual
image Furtado adopted for the recording, with some
feeling it was a ploy to sell more records.
Further controversy rose over accusations of
plagiarism on Timbalands part when recordings were
leaked onto Youtube. The record was seen generally
as critically and commercially successful. It
reached high positions on charts across the world,
and according to a November 2007 press release, it
had sold more than seven million copies
worldwide.[1]
The album was heavily promoted, released in
several editions and was supported by the Get
Loose Tour, which is the subject of the concert
DVD Loose: The Concert. Eight singles were
released from the album, including the U.S.
number-one singles "Promiscuous" and "Say It
Right", which received Grammy Award nominations
for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best
Female Pop Vocal Performance, respectively.[2][3]
Other stand out singles include the UK number-one
single "Maneater" and the successful song "All
Good Things (Come to an End)".
