The ‘Say it right’ singer, Nelly Furtado, is making a comeback in the music industry with two of her favourite former collaborators.
The 44-year-old is teaming up, yet again, with Justin Timberlake, 42, and Timbaland, 51, on a new song.
Justin revealed he has been working in the studio with Timbaland for most of the past year on their latest tunes.
The last time the trio teamed up was in 2007 on the No1 single Give it to Me and Nelly is thrilled to be back at it again with them.
“We connected,” shared Nelly on Emily Ratajkowski’s ‘High Low’ podcast about a phone call she had with her two former collaborators. “There was a real healing thing that happened. Between the three of us – me, Timbaland and JT – we’ve all had long careers with ups and downs and to me personally, doing this song together feels very authentic and is a mini-miracle.”
Apparently, it all started with Timbaland texting Nelly that there is a track with a dance vibe that is ideal for a trio that would include her and Justin. “I think energetically it’s very positive,” said an excited Nelly. “For me, the lyrics and everything are very real to me right now.”
