Anyone thinking about picking up her new album? I hardly consider myself a fan of the pop genre but I heard 'Say It Again' on the radio and I was pleasantly surprised. Also just read this review from Mansized (a well-respected UK website) and I'm thinking I might actually go for it. http://www.mansized.co.uk/reviews/review.phtml/111/238/

Heard it was more like "Whoa, Nelly" than "Folklore", so worth a punt methinks.

Interesting.

If 'Say It Again' is anything to by, the album is must for me.

timbaland produced at least some of this cd, which varies between the type of stuff on maneater and promiscous (ie. very cool rnb tracks) and mellower stuff a bit more like her first album. thus rnb fans dissapointed that its not the stomping timbaland production like the singles, and maybe her fans a little upset at her poppier tracks

when i heard maneater and promiscous i couldn't believe it was the same nelly

I was shocked when I discovered Nelly was the artist for Maneater . Cracking tune and nice vid too

I hope not I preferred Folklore it was a more mature adult album than the commercial Whoa Nelly. My CD arrived this morning Yipeey!

Since when was Nelly Furtado Pop?

I've been listening to Nelly's new album for a few days and it's clear she's mostly decided to pander to the commercial crowd. I guess because Folklore didn't sell that many numbers.

I don't know why the record studio didn't think Folklore had to many single tracks. I disagree many would've worked great as singles.

Loose a mixture between both her to previous albums with some edgier indie stuff like Folklore but more Pop numbers like Whoa, Nelly! than Folklore had (which didn't really have any).

* "Promiscuous" sticks like a sore thumb and is mostly awful. I'm considering it removing it from my MP3 version. What was she thinking? Gwen Steffani she is not.
* "Maneater" still great and very catchy
* "Showtime" this is probably the weakest track on the album
* "No Hay Igual" and "Te Busque" Both fantastic. How Nelly should really sound and much closer to Folklore.
* Most of the later tracks are really fillers which are blending into each other (at the moment anyway).

It's a pity she's sold out a little. The more mature edgier sound of Folklore was what got me really hooked. I listened it and thought my god it's a big improvement over Whoa, Nelly!

That said it's still mostly a success (Why include the sooo out of place "Promiscuous" though?)

promiscous is a great track. i think nelly could be this years big album/star like gwen stefani was last year (or year before, whatever it was)

she's been pimping all the tv shows and looks a sexy lil minx, so with the sexy videos and mtv friendly tunes she should do well

very disapointed.
