K’naan & Nelly Furtado Wonder “Is Anybody Out There” On New Single

Mon Jan 23 2012 by Robbie Daw
It has been more than a minute — nearly six years, in fact — since Nelly Furtado released an album full of radio-friendly pop tracks. And until this summer rolls around, when she's supposedly going to bring out her next LP, T.S.I., we can at least tide ourselves over with "Is Anybody Out There", her collaboration with K'naan for his new EP More Beautiful Than Silence (out tomorrow). Yes, Nelly — there are people out here, and they're waiting for your new jams. So haul it! More »

We included Nelly Furtado on our list of artist we demand release new music, and it appears she's heeding our wishes sooner than we expected.

Listen to Nelly's sweet, stripped down song below. More »

Justin Timberlake And The 9 Other Artists We Demand New Music From

Tue Jun 28 2011 by Becky Bain

Justin Timberlake’s newest movie Bad Teacher was released in theaters this past weekend, where it scored an impressive $31 million at the box-office. The success of his newest cinematic venture is just another nail in the coffin that was his music career. He’s made it clear that “music is not my focus right now”, but when, JT, when?! As desperate as we are for Timberlake to step back in the studio (and not just for another Lonely Island digital short), he isn’t the only artist at the top of their game who either fled from the spotlight or focused their energy on alternate projects. Check out the nine other acts we’re practically begging to release new tunes. More »

Mon Jan 31 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Nelly Furtado has gone from "Promiscuous Girl" to PG-Rated in the remake of "Crocodile Rock", tailored to the upcoming animated flick Gnomeo And Juliet. This 2011 duet recreation of the '70s classic is as deliciously cheesy and fun-loving as "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". The new dad doesn't just lend over his vocals and timeless tune, he's also composed music for the film. Sir Elton also teamed up with Lady Gaga for a special tune "Hello Hello" for the Shakespeare-inspired movie. Jump below to get your toes a tappin' with a preview. More »

Nelly Furtado climbs out of the water and into a car in her latest music video for her single, "Night Is Young". The Canadian singer and a bunch of young adults have a carefree, fun night out on the town, taking a joy ride, roaming the streets, and, as enforced in practically every music video for an uptempo song, engaging in an impromptu dance-off.
