Selling more than 10 million albums worldwide since she came to fame back in 2000 with her debut album Whoa, Nelly!, Nelly Furtado returns to prominence this year with the release of her third album Loose and its hit singles ?Promiscuous? and ?Maneater?.

Furtado, a first-generation Portuguese Canadian was born as one of three children to Maria Manuela and António José Furtado, Portuguese parents from São Miguel Island in the Azores.

Furtado's parents emigrated from Portugal to Canada in the late 1970s. She has stated that visiting her parents' birthplace, the Azores islands, as a child and experiencing its culture and learning the Portuguese language has made her an open-minded person.

This has strongly influenced her artistry as she has incorporated many cross-cultural sounds into her music. It is also evident in her multilingualism as she can speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and, to a lesser extent, Hindi

Highly influenced by her wide-ranging musical taste and interest in different cultures, Nelly Furtado eater is known for her musical eclecticism and the diversity of experimenting with different instruments, sounds, genres, languages, and vocal styles.

During her early years, Furtado embraced many musical genres, listening heavily to mainstream R&B, hip hop, alternative rock, alternative hip hop, trip hop, world music including Portuguese fado, Brazilian bossa nova, and Indian music, and a variety of others.

Her influences have included Jeff Buckley, Caetano Veloso, Amalia Rodrigues, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Cornershop, Mariah Carey, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Digable Planets, De La Soul, Radiohead, Oasis, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Verve, U2, and Beck.

Furtado's music has also been influenced by her current residence, Toronto, which she calls "the most multicultural city in the entire world" and a place where she "can be any culture".

Nelly Furtado?s first album Whoa, Nelly! saw major success all over the globe supported by its three singles, "I'm like a Bird", "Turn off the Light", and "...On the Radio (Remember the Days)".

It received four Grammy nominations in 2002; her debut single won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Furthermore, Furtado was critically acclaimed for her innovative mixture of various genres and sounds.

Furtado's second album, Folklore, was released in November 2003. The title was influenced by her parent?s immigration to Canada.

The album also displayed a diverse sound but with a more rock-oriented, acoustic approach. As she focused more on the songwriting rather "than on frenetically switching genres five times in one song", BBC felt that it had "twice the originality" of her debut.

Furtado's third album, Loose, was released in June 2006. Four Nelly Furtado mp3 lead singles were released in different regions of the world: the Spanish reggaeton-influenced "No Hay Igual" (featuring Calle 13), the hip-hop Justin Timberlake crowd control feat. Nelly Furtado mp3s, the latin "Te Busqué" (featuring Juanes) and the dark-pop man eater Nelly Furtado.

The album, mostly produced by Timbaland, showed her experimenting with a more R&B?hip hop sound and the "surreal, theatrical elements of '80s music". She attributed the youthful sound of the album to the presence of her two-year old daughter.
