Loose - Nelly Furtado
Loose Image
  • Summary: Whoa, Nelly indeed. Timbaland produced the bulk of the singer's dancier, poppier third album, and even sings on one track.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 20 out of 27
  2. Negative: 1 out of 27
  1. She's found the perfect collaborator to match her voracious appetite for all things pop.
  2. 60
    Loose feels less like an album than a clutch of singles plus accompanying extras. [Jul 2006, p.100]
  3. Unfortunately, Furtado doesn't have the rhyming skills, vocal chops or attitude to pull off any one of her new personae.

  1. With club-ready songs like "Maneater" and "Promiscuous", quiet soothing songs like "In God's Hands", "Showtime" and "Alll Good Things (Come to An End)", and all the rest, "Loose" is the perfect mix. I admit that "Whoa, Nelly!" and "Folklore" have more quiet and less "poppy" songs, but "Loose" is perfect for anyone, anywhere. Expand

    5 or 6 good songs, some of them I'd go as far as to call great songs. But the album as a whole doesn't work. A big disappointment after how good her first 2 albums were. However, if the good songs end up being released, I might be half pleased with her. My album hightlights: Maneater Afraid No Hay Igual Do It Glow Promiscuous Say It Right is ok, too. Expand
