GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Nelly Furtado has announced her highly anticipated new studio album, 7, releasing on September 20 via Nelstar/21 Entertainment/Universal Music Canada/Republic Records/Casablanca Records/Polydor Records.
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. After being introduced to Bomba Estéreo’s Liliana Saumet by Furtado’s close friend, Canadian Colombian artist Lido Pimienta, Furtado jumped on a plane to stay with her in Santa Marta, Colombia and begin creating music. Surrounded by the support of women, Furtado found a sense of community among fellow artists who were also mothers, and her artistic voice was awakened. It was in Colombia with Liliana where the spirit of “Corazón” was born. Featuring Grammy-nominated Colombian band Bomba Estéreo and co-produced by Nelly Furtado and T-Minus, “Corazón” is a celebratory global pop song. Its potent blend of unique vocal hooks, empowering lyrics in English and Spanish over soaring melodies, pulsing rhythms, and eclectic instrumentation solidifies “Corazón” into Furtado’s canon of innovative pop music that resonates with global audiences.
