ICONIC Canadian singer Nelly Kim Furtado’s new album, 7, drops tomorrow.
The title comes from it being the artist’s seventh studio album, and her first in seven years since her 2017 release The Ride.
“It’s more like a collection. Fashion collections don’t really have titles, they’re just called collection number 10 or 21. This is my collection seven,” she said in an interview, explaining the concept.
The 45 year-old singer confirmed her musical comeback last year and said she recorded more than 100 songs in 18 months.
The album was announced in July.
The Maneater singer said she wrote around 400 to 500 songs in four years, 14 of which were chosen for the upcoming project.
Nelly has sold more than 45 million records, making her one of the most successful Canadian artists.
Released in 2000, her trip-hop debut studio album Whoa! Nelly put the creative talent on the map, earning her commercial success, and the Grammy award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her song Turn Off the Light in 2002.
However, she is known mainly for her work with Timbaland on her third studio album Loose (2006), which features Billboard 100 number one hits Promiscuous and Say it Right, which received Grammy Award nominations in 2007 and 2008 for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, respectively.
