Nelly Furtado Goes Latin

I recently heard an interview with Nelly Furtado regarding her new entirely Latin release “Mi Plan”. She indicated that she went into the recording studio to record her next effort and nothing felt right until she started singing in Spanish. In past Nelly had always at least 20% of her record in Spanish, but this was a big leap.

After recording the entire CD in another language, it actually cured her writers block. She’s been able to start working on her next English record with Timbaland. What do you think of Nelly’s first release “Manos al Aire,” (Hands in the Air)? The song recently hit #1 on the Billboard’s Latin singles chart.
