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.
