maneater

I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of Nelly Furtado. She is absolutely gorgeous (of course due to her Portuguese origins) and has a few cute pop songs - from the top of my head 'turn off the light', and 'powerless (say what you want)'. Also 'força' which was the Football Eurocup 2004 official song was a cutesy song. Overall her albums 'whoa! nelly' and 'folklore' were a bit dull, a bit undefined.

She is back in 2006 with a completely different sound: her new album ('Loose') is mostly produced by hip-hop genius Timbaland. I'm very excited about it and have high expectations for this album, especially because of the singles released so far.

First single in the UK is 'maneater' - a powerful electro-pop/hip-hop track that charted at #8 this week in the UK singles chart only on downloads and hopefully will be #1 next week.

The first single in the US is 'promiscuous' featuring Timbaland. And it's an absolutely perfect hip-hop track that has the ability to crossover to the pop domain because of Nelly herself. It's #3 at the moment on the Hot 100 Billboard chart and will probably be #1 next week.
Justin Timberlake comes to mind and he is in fact in the video for this song showing some dance moves at the end.
