This ‘Spirit’ proves destructible
Nelly Furtado is one of pop’s more prolific artists: she has released an album every three years since 2000. After scoring several radio hits off 2006’s Loose, she self-produced the album Mi Plan entirely in Spanish in 2009. The Canadian singer/songwriter/actress/producer has a lot to offer: a distinct voice, a nice face and an incredible ear for spinning together melodies and infectious beats. All this and more is on display in her latest album, The Spirit Indestructible. This ambitious 18-track album is more experimental than anything she has ever done, even the Spanish-language Mi Plan.
