New music from Nelly Furtado

Nelly Furtado has revealed the title and release date of her upcoming fifth album.

The Spirit Indestructible will be released on June 15. The album’s first single Big Hoops (Bigger is Better), which Furtado co-wrote with Rodney Jerkins, is released today.

Furtado co-wrote each song on The Spirit Indestructible, which finds her working with an array of collaborators including hip-hop songwriter-producer Salaam Remi, pop songwriter-producer Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Lady Gaga), veteran metal producer Bob Rock (Metallica), Dutch DJ and EDM producer Tiesto, rock songwriter and producer John Shanks, and Jamaican reggae producer Da Genius.

A deluxe version of the album will feature several bonus tracks, including Furtado’s collaborations with Fraser T. Smith (Adele), producer and Passion Pit lead singer Mike Angelakos, and a track featuring the Kenyan Boys Choir that Furtado produced herself.

“I began writing these songs around the time I released my Spanish album Mi Plan,” Furtado said.

“I was in a great headspace, feeling refreshed and ready to really deliver in English again.

“This album is all about positivity, youth, good energy, and the relentlessness of the spirit. I want people to live this music the way we did when we wrote it.
I want them to jump, dance, scream, laugh, cry, love, and vibe to it, and to turn it up very loud everywhere.”

The Spirit Indestructible is Furtado’s first English-language studio album since 2006’s double-platinum Loose, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, was certified multi-platinum in 32 countries, and sold 10 million copies worldwide.

Loose also spawned three hit singles, including the No. 1’s Promiscuous and Say It Right, both of which earned Furtado Grammy Award nominations.

Furtado’s single Big Hoops (Bigger The Better) is out now. Her album, The Spirit Indestructable, is out June 15.
