Nelly Music:

Editorial Review:
How do you follow a double platinum-selling debut album? You look to your roots. & what roots! Whilst Nelly Furtado's 'Whoa Nelly' 2000 debut seemed to break all the moulds going when it came to making pop music, her new 'Folklore' album explores cultural differences in a deeper, more meaningful way. Again, Furtado has worked with the production team Track & Field & between them they've turned over Nelly's thoughts on contemporary culture & its innate clashes until the 'Folklore' album popped out. Half-Portugese, raised in Toronto & as steeped in urban music as any B-boy or fly girl, Nelly's now mature enough as a songwriter to build the complicated emotions she only hinted at on 'Whoa Nelly'. The resultant set where a pulsing, vibrant collage of ideas meet pristine pop of the highest order. All with Nelly Furtado sitting right at the epicenter. UK edition features 13 tracks including 1 bonus track, 'Try' (Acoustic). Universal. 2003.
