CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Blame it on the bossa nova, but this chick has got soul. By filtering her Portuguese roots through the trip-hop she was weaned on, Nelly Furtado creates a hypnotic form of R&B/alternapop that at times sounds like Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Gwen Stefani all rolled into a Portishead song. Cutting her teeth at four Lilith Fair dates before even having a record contract, Furtado seems accelerated far beyond her 21 years. Listen, and you can hear the Portuguese fado tradition, Brazilian beats, flashy urban rhymes--enough snap, crackle, and pop to fill your breakfast bowl. Put your ear closer to the speaker, though, and you can sense that this is the sound of a multicultural young woman finding her own identity through all the pop she's been fed. If you're someone who likes to sing along to soaring vocals or who likes to get hip to a new star before she goes supernova, this is an album to own. --Heidi Sherman Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBack When Bradley Jacobson | 06/26/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Whoa Nelly! was one of the very first CDs I bought when I got my first CD car stereo in my little blue Escort; I had loved the song "Turn Out The Lights" which I had heard on a magazine compilation. By the time I knew all the songs her real single hit the airwaves "I'm Like A Bird" and she was every where and the CD was put to rest.
Now that she's all promiscuous with Timbaland, I thought I'd revisit the CD that made me a fan and wonder what went wrong with the girl. From the debut album I would never have seen her heading to the trip hop slutty imagery she's so happy carrying now, back then she was actually taking real chances by using her voice and some strange effects to create a new world of music; using bared soul for lyrics despite how young or ill effected that soul was; the songs were good and I was singing along through her pain, her sassiness, her beat changes and recollections of how life should be. If you want to hear the kootchy koo world of Nelly find her latest album but if you actually want to hear an actually interesting little album get this one. " |
