Day two on the set of Nelly Furtado’s “Night is Young” video was shot primarily during the night outdoors in the Downtown Toronto area. The weather was rain-free, only a bit chilly but with all the extras dancing and biking around the streets, everybody warmed up. Fans and friends came to support Nelly and to be a part of the video during the 2-day shoot. Nelly even took the time to meet and greet with some of her Bestfan’s between scenes.

ACCLAIMED SINGER-SONGWRITER’S FIRST RETROSPECTIVE, FEATURES ALL HER HITS PLUS FAN FAVOURITES AND THREE NEW SONGS, INCLUDING “NIGHT IS YOUNG”

Multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-winning global superstar, actress, philanthropist and recent Canadian “Walk of Fame” inductee, Nelly Furtado, will celebrate her first 10 years of recording with her first greatest hits compilation, The Best Of Nelly Furtado (Geffen Records). The album, to be released November 16th, features #1 Pop smashes, collaborations and three previously unreleased recordings and will be available in standard and double-disc deluxe editions.

Of the previously unreleased recordings, “Night Is Young,” the album’s first single, was co-produced by Salaam Remi (Nas, The Fugees, Amy Winehouse) and Staybent Krunk-A-Delic, and co-written by Nelly Furtado. Producer Remi and Furtado also co-wrote “Girlfriend” while “Stars,” was produced by Lester Mendez who co-wrote the track with Furtado.

The Best Of Nelly Furtado looks back at a simply sensational and genuinely global first decade for the acclaimed Canadian-born singer-songwriter of Portuguese heritage. She has won and/or been nominated for seven Grammy awards, has a BRIT Award win, and has been awarded numerous Junos (Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy), including Album Of The Year for Loose as well as an MTV Europe Music Award. Furthermore, she has been nominated for a handful of Billboard Latin Music Awards and a Grammy for her groundbreaking 2009 album Mi Plan that further solidifies her vibrant and successful career as a dual language superstar. Embracing different cultures, musical styles and even languages, Nelly Furtado has helped define musical diversity for a new generation.

Nelly’s eclectic 2000 double platinum debut Whoa, Nelly! which spawned “I’m Like A Bird” was followed by the gold 2003 Folklore, whose “Forca” became the official anthem of the 2004 European Cup Football Championship. 2006’s double platinum, #1-debuting Loose spotlighted the platinum, Grammy-nominated “Promiscuous” along with the hits “Say It Right” and “Maneater.” Loose has been certified platinum in 32 countries and sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide and won the 2007 Brit Award for the International Female Solo Artist. In 2009, Mi Plan, her first album entirely in Spanish, made history when the single “Manos al Aire” soared to #1 on Billboard’s “Hot Latin Songs” chart, marking it the highest debut of 2009 for Latin Pop album and the first time a North American artist had reached the top spot with a song originally written in Spanish. The album went on to be a #1 hit on Billboard’s “Top Latin Album,” as well as iTunes and Amazon Latin music charts. In 2010, Nelly joined producer Bob Ezrin and Young Artists For Haiti in singing K’NAAN’s “Wavin’ Flag” where all proceeds go to Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision Canada.

A video for “Night Is Young” will be available in the near future. Furtado’s highly anticipated fifth original album will be released in early 2011.

So, some news at last! Nelly’5 5th album will be out early 2011 and there will be a video for “Night is Young“… Nelly is back in town all!

“This album wouldn’t have existed if I wasn’t a mother,” she said. “That’s why it’s called “Loose.” (It) has this really youthful energy.

“During the recording process, I was living the life,” she continued. “I had my cake and ate it too, because I was with my daughter. She’s young, she’s not in school yet so she was just with me every day in the morning and we’d go to the park and go to the beach in Miami and have fun and play. And then at nighttime I got to record music with the greatest producers in the world.”

Furtado, 27, added that she’s living her own childhood all over again by seeing the world through her daughter’s eyes.

Being a single mum has also changed Furtado’s view of the music business. “It really made me take my job way more seriously, it made me think about my work ethic, it made me think more about providing for (Nevis) and her future.”

Things are already looking good for “Loose,” which is scheduled for release on 20th June (North America) 12th June (Rest of the World). The album’s first single, “Promiscuous (featuring Timbaland)” debuted at No. 64 on Billboard’s Hot 100 earlier this month, making it the highest-debuting single in Furtado’s career and ending her five-year absence from the chart.

Success isn’t about to spoil Furtado, not if Nevis has anything to do with it. Furtado said that being a mom “separates work from home life and that’s essential to keeping a level head in this business. It’s easy to just float away into the cosmos if you don’t have your 3-year-old throwing soup at you at the restaurant!”

“This new album is like a throw back album for me,” she tells me.After experimenting with Scott Storch and Nellee Hooper in the studio, her label suggested to team up with hip hop prodigy Timbaland for “Loose.” The two had worked previously on the remix of Furtado’s “Turn Off The Light,” which became a huge smash on the hip hop charts a few years back.

After not having seen each other for four years, Furtado travelled to Miami to start working with Timbaland. Furtado describes the instant musical chemistry between them as “voodoo energy.” Check out the first successful teaming between Furtado and Timbaland that features plenty of voodoo-ish energy (and mudslinging!).

Part 1

Star Daily: Well that energy is getting Nelly lots of attention for her sexy self-confident third album, “Loose” due out 20th June. (NEED TO CONFIRM THIS – UPDATE SOON ~ Joey)

SD: What does “Loose” mean?
Nelly Furtado: Its just a whole concept, Its just loose..Its just like..

SD: Yeah its just Loose
NF: Hahaha

SD: I know what you mean!
NF: Its almost like reality TV when you watch reality TV and its exciting to see things happen spontaneously, we’ve included those things on the album so there are skits where you hear us talking while we are making the record.

SD: Yeah you’re laughing and..
NF: Yeah yeah!

SD: Heading into recording Nelly wanted to do a lot of collaborating, so she invited some people to play with her like:
NF: Chris Martin from Coldplay, he came into the studio and hung out with us

SD: What’s the story behind that, how did that happen?
NF: We bumped into each other at the MTV awards in Miami, in August, 2005, last year, so I told him I was working with Tim, and he said you know can I come by the studio cause I love Tim and I said well Tim loves Coldplay, so it was a perfect match, a match made in heaven, so he came and jammed for 4 hours and the song is called, “All good things come to an end.” I like real moments like that in music, you know, those are the moments I live for where just everybody is having a good time and were jamming and that’s kind of why I make music for moments like that.
[Clip of Nelly singing]

SD: Talk to me about the evolution of Nelly so from, “Whoa Nelly” to “Loose”, and how like, just how you’re song writing has sort of evolved over time.
NF: Um, you know, with “Whoa Nelly” a lot of those songs I wrote when I was 17, and now I’m 27! Back then music was my whole entire life, you know, so I was there for every single last note, and musician session, and I co-produced the whole album as I did with “Folklore” and Im involved as a producer as well. This new record I’m not as much a producer.

SD: And the person she got to produce the record is none other than Timbaland, which gave Nelly the chance to well, let loose!
NF: This time, I’m like woo! Lets party! Haha! Im way more confident as a woman. Im was more secure with myself too as a musician. Its what you gotta do as an artist you gotta just be like ah, screw it, I have to express myself.

Part 2

SD: Where was I? Oh right! Nelly Furtado! So what IS she all about? With her highly anticipated album “Loose” ready to go, Nelly Furtado is THE name on everyone’s lips these days and I got to sit down with her one on one in Barbados.

SD: What do you, Nelly Furtado, represent, what do you stand for?
NF: Um. I stand for..individuality, for sure, finding your personal path.

SD: With the birth of her daughter, Nelly was able to find her personal path.
NF: Being a mum has changed my life, entirely, its made me more vulnerable. Because when you have a child, you just, its unconditional love, instantly, you instantly love somebody unconditionally and it just, you become more sensitive to the world, you become part of the mother race! It’s made me more serious about my job, its made me treat it more like a job, where like I work and then it ends, and I have my personal time, and then I go back to work and you work harder because you have to provide for somebody you know, and also I like to show her that work ethic, where like, mummy works hard, and its important to work hard in life

SD: Kinda like what your parents showed you.
NF: Exactly!

SD: Nelly’s daughter is giving her more than just stability.
NF: This record, it was cool, because now she is growing up, and she was around 2 years old when I was recording most of this album 1.5, 2, and, to be around a young toddler when they are playing and jumping and laughing is really inspiring and brings out your own youthful energy. Now that im a mum, I uh, don’t have as much time to sit in a room with a guitar for 12 hours straight and write like 20 songs. So I’ve given that up and I just show up at the studio and I’m like hey, and freestyle, and sing and just kind of write when im there, right on the spot.

SD: With all the time between records, Nelly put it to good use.
NF: I’ve been lucky, the last year and a half I’ve been really prolific, I’ve been really inspired, so I wrote a lot.

SD: So what happens to those songs? The ones that don’t get used.
NF: They’ll get used! They will come out on like, a limited edition, album, a b-side album or an acoustic album, maybe on a soundtrack, or even on my next album! You never really know.

SD: With all the pressure to turn out hits, was there any time for fun while making “Loose”?
NF: I always have funs making my albums, you know why? Its cuz I’m honest, like on the microphone I’m honest, and when I’m writing I’m honest.

SD: So Nelly told me that she’s been talking to Justin Timberlake about a possible summer tour. Only Star Daily can give you inside info like that!
