Nelly - Folklore

When u hear the name Nelly Furtado most ppl either think of:

1. The innocent 'I'm Like A Bird' girl from her debut back in 2000
OR
2. When she made it big time with her 3rd album Loose (remember Promiscuous, Maneater, Say It Right?)


It's surprising that not many remember her 2nd effort Folklore in between the two phases mentioned above. Folklore was really a gem. It wasn't as commercial as Loose, but it was ORIGINAL. And that made it edgy and cool. To be honest I know nothing about folk music, but I guess Nelly's take on it was more urban and funky than what you would expect conventional folk music to be.

My favourite Nelly songs are from this album. Check out Powerless and the rocking track Explode!
