NELLY FURTADO - 'Promiscuous'

Origin: Victoria, BC
Category: NORTHERN ELIXIR
Cherchez La Moose: Did Nelly Furtado sell out on her 2006 album Loose? You bet. Something funny happened though - her new image and sound worked so well that pretty much no one held it against her. Promiscuous was a smash hit that propelled both Furtado and Timbaland back into the spotlight. It doesn't hold up quite as well these days, but at the time, it was the freshest thing on the market. Maneater and Say It Right were just as great, but Promiscuous started a trend and introduced a new phase in Timbaland's career as a producer.
