Nelly Furtado confirms new album

Nelly Furtado has confirmed details of her new album.

The singer will release The Spirit Indestructible on June 18 and a day later in the US, preceded by lead single ‘Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)’ on June 4.

Furtado, who co-wrote every track on the LP, has worked withRodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Lady GaGa), Bob Rock (Metallica), Dutch DJ Tiesto and John Shanks (Take That, Michelle Branch).

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

A deluxe edition will also be available, featuring several songs produced by Fraser T. Smith (Adele) and Furtado herself.

The Spirit Indestructible is Furtado’s first English-language studio album since 2006’s ‘Loose’, which topped the US charts and was certified multi-platinum in 32 countries after selling 10 million copies worldwide.
