Nelly Furtado chats to I Like Music

ILM: There’s an electro dancey vibe on the album too, and some tracks have been played in clubs including Ministry of Sound.

NELLY: Really? Maneater right?

ILM: Yeah. So are you going to explore the whole dance and house music thing more or maybe even start DJing? And are there any house remixes on the album?

NELLY: Yeah, it’s funny for me, because my roots are in urban music including electronic. My first group was a trip hop group when I was 17 years old and I was completely into the Prodigy and Tricky and Portishead and things like that. And then, after that, I went through a phase where I was actually cutting house, drum and bass and electronic music with my friend Matt Johnson, who’s gone on to become a very popular Trance DJ and plays all sorts of shows all over Europe. He's really huge and when I go to Germany I know people who are star struck when I tell them I even know him, so we used to make music together. I love remixes. I want to do some more mainstream remixes by some big remixers especially of my new single, Say It Right, that’s my fourth single off this album out here in the UK.
