Nelly Furtado To Release New English Pop Album

According to The Prophet Blog, Nelly Furtado is set to release her fourth English album on May 25th, 2010.

Furtado says:

“I think just generally it’s still going to be pop but I want it to have a more light energy. Sort of like my first album, but not sonically, more in a spiritual sense… more like my first album.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be the same sound [as Loose] but I have worked a little bit with Timbaland who produced that album so it might have some of the same fun and energy, but not like exactly the same.”

Furtado is also said to be working with Ryan Tedder and Salaam Remi on the new album.

Are you excited for Nelly’s new album?

Miley Cyrus The Next Justin Timberlake?

Is Miley the new Justin? Critically-acclaimed producer Timbaland sure thinks so!

Although Timberland has worked with some of the most talented musicians in the industry today — including Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Missy, Keri Hilson, and Nelly Furtado — the Virginia native was quite taken with television’s Hannah Montana, who he collaborated with for his new album, Shock Value II.

He says: “Man, she’s gonna be like Justin [Timberlake]. She comes from that same musical background, where she’s just got it. Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is she’s special. When I worked with her, I was very impressed. I was like, ‘Whoa.’”

I think Timberland needs to just take a few breaths and get to a hospital. He’s lost it.

Timbaland Presents ‘Shock Value II’ Track List Revealed

The track list for Timbaland’s upcoming album has been revealed. Check out the amazing talent he’s got lined up: Justin Timberlake, JoJo, Drake, Miley Cyrus, Nelly Furtado, Katy Perry, The Fray, Daughtry, One Republic, Keri Hilson, and Chris Brown.

When you’re one of the biggest producers in the business, I’m sure it’s easy to get whoever you want on your album.

Nelly Furtado Playboy Proposal

Nelly Furtado was once offered more than $1 milllion to pose naked for Playboy.

She has recently revealed that she when she was 22 she was courted for a nude centerfold by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Nelly turned down the offer down, but added that she would not mind posing at a later time.

“The magazine was even prepared to pay me 500,000 dollars to pose with my clothes on. I didn’t want Playboy on my resume at the age of 22,” she told The Mail on Sunday. “If they ask me when I’m 40 I’ll probably say yes,” she added.
