Nelly Furtado - Whoa, Nelly! (sync listen tonight 8pm)

[POP!]

Here's one I've never heard aside from the singles. Does it hold up better than the Timbaland/video girl era? LET'S SEE

 

[RS]

Love that album! Her best, I think.

My Love Grows Deeper, Legend, Party and the Portuguese bonus tracks were all lovely. And the singles too, of course.

 

[POP!]

[POP!]

PRESSED PLAY

 

[RJN]

I am sure this is my first time ever listening to this album

 

[POP!]

Hey Man! still sounds quite fresh despite being twenty years old. Loving the backing vox, very ethereal.

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!

 

[RS]

Sorry girls, I’m doing something else.

 

[POP!]

"Shit on the Radio" hasn't aged quite as well, but love the chorus.

 

[POP!]

If Miss @Beverley is a no call no show !

 

[RJN]

09 Hey Man - Really like this on first listen
08 Shit On The Radio - I don't remember this from the time at all, but I do like it now

 

[RJN]

When even @Jark The Herald Angels Sing doesn't join, its NOT a good sign

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)

 

[POP!]

"Baby Girl" coming in with the brassy lounge vibes, I just wish I didn't find her voice as grating as I do in this early material

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl

 

[RJN]

Maybe its the sound of being a teenager in 2000, but this all reminds me of the first Sugababes album

 

[Jark]

...and THIS is why I did not host this when Miss Bev came calling

 

[POP!]

"Legend" is quite tender and nice if not a bit amateur sounding.

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend

 

[POP!]

Ooh I know this one ("I'm Like a Bird").

 

[RJN]

Baby Girl and Legend were both good but I don't remember them at all after they ended. I'm Like A Bird is the only song from this album I knew before actively seeking out music myself. It really brings me back to elementary school. I don't think I appreciated that it really is very pretty

 

[POP!]

"I'm Like a Bird" is probably still her best known track twenty years later, although "Promiscuous" and "Say It Right" arguably had a bigger presence in their time.

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend
08 I'm Like a Bird

 

[RJN]

I definitely hear it the most on the radio, but I feel like I'm more likely to hear Promiscuous or Say It Right in most other contexts. I feel like Promiscuous is the most remembered?

Perhaps in some segments, but ultimately "I'm Like a Bird" is still her signature I think.

 

[POP!]

I prefer "Turn off the Light" these days of the two big singles.

Agreed I think

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend
08 I'm Like a Bird
09 Turn off the Light

 

[RJN]

Perhaps in some segments, but ultimately "I'm Like a Bird" is still her signature I think.

In the least bitchy way possible, I think I might feel that way because I (and most of my friends) weren't really around for the first album hits. Someone a few years older than me might feel differently

 

[POP!]

"Trynna Finda Way" - I actually love the guitar(?) riffs that come and go throughout the song. The spoken word is a bit distracting, and I think a more sparse vocal would have suited it well.

 

[POP!]

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend
08 I'm Like a Bird
09 Turn off the Light
08 Tryna Finda Way

 

[RJN]

I think Party is my second favorite album track so far (after hey, man!). I like the instrumentation throughout the album, and especially how sparse it is here

YOU BITCH!

 

[POP!]

"Party" started and ended without me realizing it was playing - oops

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend
08 I'm Like a Bird
09 Turn off the Light
08 Tryna Finda Way
05 Party

 

[RJN]

I LOVE the chorus of Well, Well

 

[RJN]

YOU BITCH!

Um when you preface a comment with that, you can say whatever you want with no consequences

 

[POP!]

These second half album tracks are starting to blend together

08 Hey, Man!
08 Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)
07 Baby Girl
06 Legend
08 I'm Like a Bird
09 Turn off the Light
08 Tryna Finda Way
05 Party
06 Well, Well
06 My Love Grows Deeper, Part 1

 

[RJN]

I like the second half album tracks better Or maybe I've just gotten more into the vibe of it all

 

[RJN]

Well I Will Make U Cry has stood out, in a bad way. The verses are just annoying
