GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Nelly Furtado has announced her highly anticipated new studio album, 7, releasing on September 20.
Her most inspired and personal collection to date, 7 is the culmination of four years of artistic rediscovery. After years of focusing her energy on motherhood, Furtado felt the magnetic pull to go back into the studio. “I started going out again and I kept hearing my music being played and remixed by DJs, and at the same time, my eldest daughter was showing me how the online community – including a whole new audience of Gen Z fans – were discovering and embracing my music, 20 years later,” shares Furtado. “I heard the calling!”
A prolific songwriter and collaborator, Furtado wrote 400 songs and collaborated with artists, songwriters, musicians, and producers from around the world over those four years. “I found my voice again,” reflects Furtado. “I came to the studio lost and searching for my artistic identity. I had done a lot of reflection and self-work during my seven years outside of music so I was bringing that growth into the studio with me.” She continues, “This collection of songs is so personal. It reflects my journey through heartbreak and finding my confidence as an artist again, into the pure joy and celebration you feel when you’re nurturing your passion and are part of a community.”
Her new single released today, “Corazón” feat. Bomba Estéreo was one of the first songs on the album that Furtado wrote.
