INTERNATIONAL ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: NELLY FURTADO
NELLY FURTADO "SAY IT RIGHT"
Before I write about today's featured artist, I just wanted to apologize for the long delay between posts. My laptop stopped working a few weeks ago, and that prevented me from being able to update the blog daily. Have no fear, I have come into possession of a new laptop, and the blog is now back up and running! Thank you for your patience, and I am hopeful that there will be no more hiccups.
Today's choice for the international artist spotlight comes from Canada, although she was born to Portuguese parents. Nelly Furtado is one of the most well known women of pop over the last two decades. She has been singing since the age of 4, and it has now turned into a very successful career. Her first single of her career was "I'm Like A Bird," which could just have easily been a great selection for the song today. Ever since then, she has been pumping out hit after hit with each new album released. Her most successful album was Loose, where we got wonderful hits like "Promiscuous" (her first #1 song) and "Maneater", as well as the song featured today, which was her most successful song worldwide. Throughout her career, Furtado has stayed very close to her Portuguese roots, including some of the language throughout her music, as well as writing a song off of her second album that became the theme for the 2004 European Football Championship, where the finals were held in Lisbon. She is also an active philanthropist. While most of you have probably listened to her music before, I hope you'll enjoy this small bio, and refresh yourself with some of Nelly Furtado's music today.
