    I wonder if people bought the album if it wasnt by Nelly Furtado. It was very, very mediocre. Makes her last album Loose look very good, and that was already not good for Nelly standards. People always say, that Nelly tries different things with every album, but this time her new songs are just...boring. And its not because I dont speak spanish, but because the music is just so simple and I wonder if people bought the album if it wasnt by Nelly Furtado. It was very, very mediocre. Makes her last album Loose look very good, and that was already not good for Nelly standards. People always say, that Nelly tries different things with every album, but this time her new songs are just...boring. And its not because I dont speak spanish, but because the music is just so simple and dull. And, even more surprising, Nelly has no soul or any passion on this album. She has delivered better vocals on her other records. Its a record youll hear while on vacation when you have a drink at the beach bar and relax. From an artistic point of view it is pretty bad. People that only liked Loose by Nelly, will be disappointed. Even hardcore fans will be disappointed, not all, but many like me. Nelly has arrived in the mainstream pop business, and now she follows her female collegues by recording boring pop music. Collapse

  1. It says quite a bit about Nelly Furtado's ambitions and skill when her Spanish detour winds up being arguably her strongest album yet.
  2. The music here is lush or spare when necessary. More singing in this context makes her shine more brightly.
  3. The songs stay bright, friendly and generalized yet heartfelt, awaiting the singalongs they invite in Ms. Furtado’s latest language.
