Nelly Furtado's T.S.I Reviews!


DIGITAL SPY
Six years is a dangerously long time to spend away from pop, but fortunately for Nelly Furtado, she couldn't have left things on a higher note. Her collaboration with the Timbaland posse on 2006's multi-million selling Loose transformed the Portuguese mother from quirky folk-soul singer to mainstream R&B diva - a tag which briefly saw her retreat to her roots on '09s Spanish-only LP Mi Plan. Spirit Indestructible is essentially an attempt to blend the two, and the results are surprisingly seamless.

Tracks to download: Spirit Indestructible, Say Something, Parking Lot, Waiting For The Night;
4 out of 5

EXAMINER
It’s been awhile since Whoa! Nelly fans have heard the girl they admired from “Turn off the Lights”, “…on the Radio (Remember the Days)”, and “Powerless”, but Nelly Furtado has found her way home on Spirit Indestructible.

She has grown as a world artist, mother, and charity supporter, all of which are reflected in this album. Welcome back, Nelly. We've missed you. 4 out of 5 Stars

SLANT MAGAZINE
Whether her strategy is to sing-song her way beyond the abrasive edges or to conversely turn her voice into an even more abrasive element, Furtado makes it all work. She's fully capable, when goaded, of unleashing her inner Taana Gardner, and does so to great effect on "Big Hoops" and "Something," a collaboration with Nas. Whether she's measuring the circumference of her earrings, writing an entry in her diary, or flowing with a meditative drone (which she does in the sparkling, aptly titled "The Most Beautiful Thing"), she clearly enjoys being a girl. 3.5 out of 5 Stars

The album is doing so-so in iTunes store around the world, tho. Try it, it's a grower and it's actually a good grower made with quality. Also, have you watched Parking Lot mv? Such a good mv. And no, no one is paying me for doing PR ¬¬' I just love this woman :)

lol the shade. I don't know, maybe in the US. She has always been more popular in europe. I'm not saying she can sell out arenas, either.

"Don't Leave Me" is my favorite ballad from her...it's so beautiful.

I like End of the World better.

good album. the thing is, there's no singles on it. it's the kind of album that needs to be listened to from start to finish in order for you to really "get" or enjoy it. hope it's not a total loss for her. i'd hate for her label to punish her for not getting a smash hit.

Her 2nd album Folklore is awesome, that's the real Nelly there. Promiscuous was just her doing hits. Her song Try is beautiful, will have to check this one out.

MTE! i remember 13 year old me being so mad when that folklore got slept on. it's definitely her magnum opus imo! this one is good, the production is really on point and i love the urban influence on this one

i think waiting for the night should have been the lead single. it seems way too obvious for me, and maybe that's why she didn't go that route. but ia, hopefully the label doesn't punish her - i would rage if she got dropped.

i'm so upset that her album is looking like it's gonna be a flop :(

after a couple of listens i actually quite like it but like it's gonna be hard to promote

there are already 3 singles and they all flopped, omg

I saw her live at Tigerheat and she was amazing as per usual she is flawless and i heard the sampler it slays!

Nelly never disappoints. I think she is really passionate and creative when it comes to her music and it is sad that people (myself included) give more attention to these completely manufactured pop stars. I really really like this album and I wish it wasn't going to completely flop. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.
