Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The buzz for Nelly Furtado's Loose began before the music was even recorded, with the announcement that legendary hip-hop knob-twirler Timbaland (Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake) would act as co-producer. The question on fans' minds: what would it sound like when a hip-hop kingpin collaborated with an artist who culls inspiration not just from pop music, but also her own Portuguese roots?

As it turns out, Loose incorporates a number of different styles along its journey, but is--surprisingly--primarily divided between '80s-influenced electronica and latin-infused pop. This disc is very different from Furtado's previous CDs, a fact immediately evident from track one, the new wave-affected "Afraid." A strong opener, the song is the beginning of a 1-2-3 punch of uptempo, infectious dance floor beats. The second cut, "Maneater," also proves to be incredibly catchy, but the verses and keyboard sound too much like they were plucked from electroclash artist Peaches' tree, and originality is lost. The perfect summer pop song follows, the massive hit "Promiscuous," which features clever interplay between Furtado and Timbaland on their sassy duet. From that point, Loose oscillates between the Miami-affected sounds of R&B, Latino pop, and reggaeton ("Showtime," "Te Busque," and "No Hay Igual" respectively) and the aforementioned '80s vibe ("Glow," "Do It"). Fans will hear Furtado at her vocal best on "Say It Right" and "In God’s Hands"--two of the most lyrically compelling tracks on the disc. --Denise Sheppard

CD Description

Third album from Canadian singer-songwriter marks a stark change in direction away from the folk-inflected pop of her first two outings. On this release she collaborates with hip-hop/RnB uber-producer Timbaland, and the result is a set of raw electro-funk, with Furtado laying down some of her most risque and explicit lyrics to date. Featuring guest vocals from Coldplay's Chris Martin, Latin American megastar Juanes and Timbaland himself, the album features the single 'Maneater'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year, 2 Oct 2006
What an absolute stonker of an album. Never previously owned a Nelly album but was more than impressed by the UK single releases Maneater and Promiscuous. The album is jam-packed with cracking tunes - standouts for me are the aforementioned hits as well as Say it Right (fantastic) All good things (the latest UK single) and Wait for You.

I've been kicking myself for taking so long to buy it - highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loose - Nelly Furtado, 18 Aug 2006
By CJR (Spain) - See all my reviews
I liked Maneater but on first listen i was a bit let down with the rest of the album. However i listened to it a second time and began to see the tracks individually and i have to say i really really like it now. My favourite song on the whole album is Te Busque. The lyrics are beautiful and Nelly obviously works well with Juanes. All round a very varied and fun album with a serious and romantic side. I approve!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loose - eccentric, fresh and full of life!, 16 July 2006
By Andy "^_^" (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews
"Loose" is the third album from Nelly Furtado. It contains her trademark blend of pop, folk, soft rock and so much more. Unlike the previous two albums "Whoa Nelly" and "Folklore", this album also comes with some more urban tracks that give the album a fresh new vibe.

Afraid feat' Attitude - I love its beat and the lyrics are inspirational, very catchy opening to a great album. 9/10
Maneater - the amazing first single, fast, fierce, catchy and truly top quality. 10/10
Promiscuous feat' Timbaland - a far more urban track that sounds a little odd against her vocals, but in all its very good. 9/10
Glow - very different and wild. That chorus will stick in your head. 8/10
Showtime - it is a good track if not a bit of a filler. It's still very likeable. 7.5/10
No Hay Igual - the upbeat tone and foreign vocals make this a unique song. 8/10
Te Busque - similar to the last track but even more remarkable. 8.5/10
Say It Right - the mysterious music brings a haunting ballad with soft and stylish vocals. 9/10
Do It - slightly more urban but not as good as Promiscuous. 7/10
In God's Hands - a very memorable ballad with a sad yet lifting feel to it. 8/10
Wait for you - a more Asian feel here. The song is a little repetitive though. 7/10
All Good Things (Come to an end) - I love this one for its lyrics and smooth beat. 8/10
Let My Hair Down - a very random and boring filler. Worst track. 5/10
Somebody to love - not exactly ground breaking but it closes off a great album. 6/10

Overall, I highly recommend this album. It is great to listen to and it's sure to get you on your feet, but at the same time some of the tracks are just nice to chill out and listen to. Brilliant, Nelly does it again!
