Nelly Furtado, The Greatest Hits Full Album Zip
Savage Doherty
The Best of Nelly Furtado is a greatest hits album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. The album was first released on 12 November 2010.[1] The album includes all of Furtado's biggest hits, as well as songs she is featured in and three new songs: "Night Is Young", "Stars" and "Girlfriend in the City". It was released in standard, deluxe and super deluxe editions. The album's track listing and artwork were revealed on 14 October 2010.[2]
Talking about how she picked the new songs to be on the greatest hits Furtado said, "The way I picked the new songs for Best of Nelly Furtado was I was just coming off my Latin American tour for Mi Plan and two of my songs got leaked on the internet. Somebody in Eastern Europe or something leaked the songs on the internet. One song was "Night Is Young" and the other song was "Girlfriend In The City", but they were kind of horrible versions that weren't even finished and not mixed. So I thought okay, a lot of my fans have heard these new songs anyway in their rough version, I might as well finish them and put them out properly on the greatest hits album. It kind of seemed like the natural choice. And then the third selection is "Stars", which is a song Lester Mendez and I wrote a couple years ago when we were doing the Loose sessions. It's one of those songs that I think people who like Folklore will like, because it's more intimate and slow."[3] The diss track "Give It to Me" was omitted from the album's track listing due to the negative lyrical content according to Furtado in an interview.[4]
Furtado phoned us to discuss her new greatest hits album, currently available, as well as her musical beginnings and why she finds herself the most creative when she breaks her own mold to create something new and noteworthy.
Nelly Furtado, for whom 2010 marks 10 years of recording (I feel SO old right now), will celebrate by releasing a greatest hits album stuffed with all the tracks we know and love and a few new ones to keep us picky people sufficed.
Furtado released Mi Plan Remixes featuring 12 tracks of remixed hits from Mi Plan. This album included the Original Spanglish Version of "Fuerte", her final release from Mi Plan. Furtado made a guest appearance on Canadian singer k-os's new album Yes!, collaborating alongside Saukrates on the song "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman", released in early July 2009. Nelly Furtado also made a guest appearance on Tiësto's single "Who Wants to Be Alone"[45] on his new album Kaleidoscope. Furtado sang in a duet with Bryan Adams at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. The song was called "Bang the Drum" released on EMI album Sounds Of Vancouver 2010 (a commemorative album). Furtado is featured in a new song by N.E.R.D. called "Hot-n-Fun". She also participated in the Young Artists for Haiti song, in which many Canadian artists came together and sang K'naan's inspirational song "Wavin' Flag" to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Furtado was honoured with a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in October 2010.[46] Furtado released her first greatest hits album titled The Best of Nelly Furtado on November 16, 2010. Three new songs were included on the greatest hits album, including "Night Is Young", "Girlfriend in the City", and the Lester Mendez produced track, left over from the Loose sessions, "Stars". The album's first single, "Night Is Young",[47] was released on October 12, 2010.[48] Furtado had previously sung two of the new songs: "Girlfriend in the City" and "Night Is Young" at her concert in Warsaw, Poland.[49]
A headlining US tour the following spring and a spot on Moby's "Area: One" summer tour helped to raise Furtado's international profile further and Whoa, Nelly! spawned such major pop hits as "I'm Like a Bird," "Turn Off the Light" and "On theRadio (Remember the Days)." The album earned Furtado six 2001 Juno Award nominations and four wins (for best new solo artist, best single for "I'm Like a Bird," best songwriter, and best producer in conjunctionwith Track & Field). The long shelf life of Whoa, Nelly! allowed it to receive best album and best artist Juno nominations the next year, while "I'm Like a Bird" was named the best female pop vocal performance at the American Grammy Awardsafter Furtado received a total of four nominations. Whoa, Nelly! sold more than 400 000 copies in Canada and more than two million units in the United States, and received gold and platinum-plus sales certifications in almost 20 countries aroundthe world.
