Nelly Furtado chats to I Like Music

NELLY: Yeah definitely. It’s funny, I don’t mind Promiscuous being one of my signature songs now, because of the idea of me being a musically promiscuous person or musician. I think, yes, the eclecticism is ingrained in me, it’s not a separate thing I seek. I grew up in Canada and its eclectic there, it’s multi-cultural and all my friends are from around the world, and I just soaked it all up, and this album was no exception. I met lots of different producers. I worked in London with Nelly Hooper, I worked in Miami with Pharrell Williams, and it was all a process for me, it was almost like a study in all of my urban influences. I made a lot of my hip hop dreams come true in Miami with Tim. It’s a fun place to work, and there’s all sorts of rappers coming through. I think if you constantly push yourself as an artist, if you constantly try to seek new inspirations, I think you never really go wrong, because you’re always growing and I think fans find that exciting - it gives them something to sink their teeth into.
