Nelly Furtado delays new album release date

Nelly Furtado has announced plans to delay the release her fifth studio album The Spirit Indestructible.

The alum was due to be released on June 18 in the UK and a day later in the US, but the singer has now decided to delay its availability.

The record will now be sold online and in stores from September 10 in the UK and September 11 in North America.

Furtado recently confirmed that she will release both standard and deluxe versions of The Spirit Indestructible.

The star co-wrote every track on the album and worked with a variety of producers including Rodney Jerkins, Bob Rock and John Shanks.

“I began writing these songs around the time I released my Spanish album Mi Plan,” Furtado explained. “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.”

Lead single ‘Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)’ is still scheduled to be available to download on June 4.
