May 10, 2022ELA FAZ O FOLKLORE DELA! Aoty no meu coração. Esse álbum a nelly conseguiu entregar as melhores composições de sua vida, contando histórias folclóricas misturadas com sua vida pessoal e infância faz dela uma grande artista! Os vocais perfeitos e tivemos o prazer de ganhar o mais um trap digno de mamacita em Explode que é maravilhosa e pesadÃssima

Dec 8, 2020Este debió tener más éxito y reconocimiento y no esa basura sobrevalorada de la vÃbora, este si es folklore instrospectivo y melancólico, crÃticos estúpidos que no saben apreciar el verdadero arte

Aug 29, 2020Probably Nelly Furtado's best record to date, musically and lirically. Personal and intimate, yet full of energy and love for life.

Apr 8, 2020Perfection from beginning to the end, nostalgic, so ahead of the time. Nelly gave us a piece of art. we’re counting stars

Mar 31, 2016You ever have one of those rare moments where an album comes along and you love every single song on it? Folklore is it for me. It's my all time favorite album and Nelly Furtado's best work.

JoeSJan 16, 2007This is the best album Nelly Furtado has ever done... it is intensely layered, and you will hear something new everytime.

JuliaANov 28, 2006up off her three albums, this one's my favorite. It has more inner ecletic,exotic feeling, and more honesty in its lyrics.this is a great athnic-groove album,live it up just like its title. whatever the critiques said, it's just a splash of numbers they put there.this album worth more than those numberings.

TorikHJan 14, 2005This album was my favourite for 2003-2004. Stand out tracks are Powerless, Explode (my fav), Picture Perfect and Island Of Wonder

PaulGJan 9, 2005One of the most powerful albums of the last several years -- inventive, unapologetically political, and wonderfully unique.

DesmondCDec 2, 2004In my opinion, this album can be rated only after repeated listens. There are really unique songs on it but it takes time to appreciate them to their full potential. At first, I wanted some of the songs to go faster but later on I learned to let the songs breathe. The lyrics are absolutely awesome as well.

WalterRNov 25, 2004This artist is not afraid of expressing herself. Of all female singers out there she is the only one with a soul. She is puting her soul out there not her body or looks, although she is physically beautiful too.!! Great JOB.

AndrewCJan 29, 2004An innovative, joyful, and most of all refreshing album. It solidifies the feelings of unexplainable and probably weird happiness all of us feel sometimes.

DarkBasJan 28, 2004Only when there are more bands/ singers making music like Nelly it's time to get critical.

MarcoGDec 27, 2003Wonderful mixture of different styles of music. The final song of this album is truly a gem.

ChristinaGDec 23, 2003This album is great but its not what I expected. I expected a lot more of the fun goofy things like before...but it shows how great of a voice she really has. And EXPLODE ROCKS.

EricFDec 19, 2003i love this cd just because it has a portuguese background. i love nelly furtado because she is beautiful, portuguese and she has a awesome distinct voice.

markyjDec 8, 2003Best cd of 2003 period!!!!!!!!!

MarkDec 8, 2003Really wonderful. She's really taking risks here and most of them pay off quite nicely. Highlights are "Forca", "Powerless", "Grass is Greener" and "Build You Up". Sure, a couple of songs fall flat. But what a relief to have a young artist willing to take risks like this.

BlenderThere's clearly imagination here, with strange little sonic tweaks and tics at every turn, but only once does it gel into something satisfying. [Dec 2003, p.141]
-
Q MagazineAt times [Folklore] is too self-satisfied, throwing everything available into the mix in what seems like a desperate bid to grab some cred. [Jan 2004, p.114]
-
A euphoric mix of wild Latin rhythms, electronic surges, soothing acoustic sounds and just about every instrument imaginable.
