Nelly Furtado’s union with Timbaland helped her sell 5 million copies of her Loose album around the world. Now she wants to start a rock group with Timbaland — the beatmaking specialist.
Furtado told Billboard.com:
I don’t think it’d be like a real rock band. It’d be more like our version of alternative, so it wouldn’t necessarily be like heavy and guitar-driven. It would be left field and not necessarily pop.
There’s no timetable to start work on the concept, and it doesn’t yet have a name because the pair can’t agree on one.
The Canadian songbird has her hands full at the moment, anyway. Current single ‘All Good Things (Come To An End)’ will be followed by ‘In God’s Hands,’ and there may be a couple more after that. ‘Loose’ has already been certified gold or platinum in 28 countries, but apparently the singer and her label want to exploit it for all it’s worth.
Furtado said:
I think the album is good and I want people to hear as much of it as possible before I go away again.
Furtado wants her next work to be done in Spanish and Portuguese instead of English. But there’s no specific agenda for that rightnow.
She will begin an American tour in Hollywood, Florida on May 30.
