All had been pretty quiet on the Nelly Furtado front since… Well, since her 2006 album Loose pretty much wrapped up. Nelly Furtado had released follow-up albums, none of which seemed to catapult her to the levels of popularity and mainstream success that the likes of “Promiscuous” did.
As less and less people seemed to be caring about Nelly’s music, she seemed to be content being out of the public eye – although there was probably more to this. But over the past couple of years, Nelly Furtado has slowly begun to unfurl herself to the public again; which must feel so bizarre for her, due to how different the landscape of music is now compared to when she part of the machine of it all.
HENNYWAY.
Nelly Furtado came out of hiding to grace Fault magazine. Marking Nelly Furtado’s first magazine cover in 6 years. And she decided to show herself to the world looking snatched in a Mugler bodysuit. I swear, these damn Mugler bodysuits be EVERYWHERE. Mugler has never really gone anywhere, but it definitely seems to be having somewhat of a revival at the moment, with how plugged in it is into pop culture right now – something we’ve seen other brands such as Balenciaga and Balmain tap into.

Nelly Furtado will be making a return to music, which kicks off on June 2 with the release of the song “Eat Your Man” in collaboration with Dom Dolla. And it’s going to be interesting see how this performs and how Nelly fares. Comebacks are never easy. Especially when what you are coming back to has changed. Nelly Furtado will be returning to a music landscape which is completely different from what it was when she last had huge success, and where generations of music listeners may not even know who she is. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of younger music listeners only know of Nelly Furtado as a result of the popular Amorphous mashup of Ariana Grande’s “Motive” and Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous”.

It’s pretty crazy how Nelly Furtado continues to just be on the outside, when there are so many trends in music that she could have jumped in at – some of which she was WAY ahead of the curve of. Nelly Furtado and her Loose album are rarely credited with the shift we heard in pop circa 2006. Everybody was trying to do a “Promiscuous”, a “Maneater” and a “Say it Right” for years. And Nelly Furtado was also releasing hip-hop / reggaeton style songs sung in Spanish back then too. “No Hay Igual” shoulda been a fucking smash. The TikTokkers would absolutely run with it now if they stumbled across it. In fact, they could and would run with a bunch of songs from Nelly Furtado’s discography. So even if her new stuff doesn’t quite hit, hopefully Nelly will honour her older material by re-introducing it to newer generations of music listeners.
