Trash Magic 28,370 Posted May 22, 2014 \ Nelly Furtado single handedly changed the face of popular music forever when she released the greatest song of the past decade "Say It Right". With the release of her painfully fresh, original and nostalgic debut "Whoa, Nelly!" (2000) and "Folklore" (2003) she defined herself as one of the greatest artists to ever grace the earth. In 2006 she released the generation defining "Loose". Followed by 2012's The Spirit Unsuccessful. She's currently working on new music. Favourites are Turn Off The Light, Picture Perfect, Try, Hey Man, Powerless, Say It Right, No Regrets Came across these really cool underground version music videos Unreleased tracks: I Am All Good Things (with Chris Martin) (Demo) Red Balloons No Regrets (leaked from Rick Nowels' site the same as Black Beauty etc.) Girlfriend In The City (Demo) Free (Night Is Young Demo) 1 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BENTLEY 3,495 Posted May 22, 2014 I used to love her back then. All Good Thing is amazing. It's made me cry so many times. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConeyIslandQueen262 1,068 Posted May 22, 2014 I used to listen to Loose almost every day back then. It is such a fresh and fantastic album ! I don't know why but I just don't really feel her other releases No matter what, ALL GOOD THINGS is still life 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go Go Dancer 628 Posted May 22, 2014 Bless this thread. I have a few more unreleased tracks, I Am and All Good Things (Demo). I recently read a topic about the Loose era from 2006, and apparently most of the demos leaked before Loose was released (Lana 2.0). I wish they'd still be out there.. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any titles at least? 0 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go Go Dancer 628 Posted May 22, 2014 so unreleased songs were on the internet before Loose but now they can't be found? Are there any titles at least? Well at least demos for Maneater, Promiscuous and No Hay Igual leaked months before the release of Loose iirc . It's a really long thread so I haven't been able to see if there are any unreleased tracks yet 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkParadise 410 Posted May 22, 2014 She's brilliant. I loved The Spirit Indestructible. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viva 3,169 Posted May 23, 2014 Nelly is god tbh. I used to listen to her a lot she was hugeeee here. I still hear to a couple of her songs very often like Say it Right, Força, All Good Things, Promiscuous, Turn Off The Light, Maneater and a couple more I cant remember. Força was also a huge hit and Nelly's album in Spanish (single "Manos al Aire) made her the first North American artist to ever top the Latin Bilboard Charts with a song in Spanish. LegenNelly needs to return to us. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creyk 11,699 Posted May 23, 2014 It's so shocking that from being that huge, and really releasing good music, her latest album opened with only 10K sales. It would be great if she made a huge comeback and she was big again, I love her sound. Listening to Say it right rn it's still fresh 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jizzy Grant 150 Posted May 23, 2014 I love her to death. Her last album was underwhelming and I was disappointed that the low sales made it impossible for her to tour worldwide. I still listen to Whoa, Nelly!, Folklore and Mi Plan every now and then, so she isn't forgotten in my book nor will she ever be. I do hope she releases an album similar to her first two. As much as I loved Loose and played it to death, there wasn't much there for me besides the singles. I also think that her video for Maneater is her best, which coincidentally is also directed by Mandler. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rafael 3,513 Posted May 23, 2014 My girl back in the day! "All Good Things (Come To An End)" will always be my favorite song by her, but she has some other gems as well. I sometimes catch myself listening to songs such as "Say It Right", "Turn Off The Light", "Powerless", "Promiscuous", "Maneater" and of course "I'm Like A Bird". I also remember loving the video for "Forca". Does anyone remember that one haha? Haven't been keeping up with her ever since "Broken Strings" got released and that was like... 6 years ago, damn 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyler 841 Posted May 23, 2014 I love Loose I only have a handful of her songs from other albums though. Nelly was some of the only good music I listened to in middle school tbh 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amadeus 11,334 Posted September 9, 2016 Islands of me is meh but Behind Your Bag goes in a better direction. Sadly i'm not really sure if she's still abled to create a good album since tsi was disappointing and the whole production and execution felt so poor and cheap. she would need to find some really good team or producer to do some banger tracks with again (and not banger tracks as in loose style but tracks that are like good lmao). oh and also i've been a fan since i was like 11 lmao so i was really paying attention to her from 2007-2010ish and she needs to lose weight bc everytime she gains weight her voice changes and she gets a really unpleasing nasal undertone. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
