Nelly Furtado has her sights set on Sin City as she eyes a Las Vegas residency with Timbaland.
The Canadian star famously worked with the producer on her classic 2006 album ‘Loose’ and the pair later joined forces with Justin Timberlake on their 2007 hit Give It To Me.
Last year, the trio dropped the follow-up single Give It A Rest and in a new interview with NME, the I’m Like A Bird singer looked ahead to the record’s 20th anniversary.
“I think it would be really fun for Timbaland and I to do a Vegas residency of ‘Loose’,” she shared. “We could play the album from beginning to end, because I do think it captures the world we were in at the time.”
On the enduring influence of the ‘Loose’ album, she added: “We didn’t want it to sound perfect. We wanted it to sound real. The idea was [to lay] my trippy, melancholic, bittersweet melodies and lyrics over Tim’s heavy beats and make a dreamy type of mix within that.”
‘Loose’ delivered a run of global hit singles, including Maneater, Promiscuous and Say It Right.
Later this year, Nelly will release her new album ‘7’, for which she wrote “400-500 pieces of music in 4 years” and describes the end result as “portals to trip out and release and escape”.
“This album can’t be listened to like audio wallpaper,” she told fans in an Instagram post, “or maybe it can depending on how you like to enjoy music but I don’t even care if you skip songs, it’s up to you how to enjoy it.”
