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!

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. While appearing at Delta Tejo Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, the Canadian songstress performed a few verses of a new song (rumored to be called "Mystery") before launching into her club hit "Promiscuous Girl". Listen to Nelly's sweet, stripped down song below.

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 »

Recently we put America’s sexiest pop stars head-to-head in a battle of which coast birthed the best booty. This time we’re taking our shallow judgment of songstresses to a global scale, ranking our Favorite International Pop Stars from overseas (and to the North). There’s no shortage of hit-making hotties from across the world, but we managed to pare down our list to a mere nine. Click through to see who made the cut. More »

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.

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. (Maybe they should think about heading down to
the other Nelly's underground club to compete?) Tie your laces and catch the Alan Ferguson-directed clip below.

Break out the maple syrup and leave your doors unlocked! Fresh from getting wet and wild in
her “Fuerte” video, Canadian Nelly Furtado has released an unusual reminder of her home country: she's recorded her own rendition of “Time Stand Still”, the 80s classic by Canadian prog-rock pioneers Rush. Released as part of the soundtrack to new film
Score: A Hockey Musical, it's a neat left turn by an artist who continues to surprise us. Take a listen to the 80s throwback here.

The music video for the English version of Nelly Furtado's dramatic Salaam Remi-produced single "Fuerte" premiered today, and it finds the sultry
Canadian songbird writhing around in various dresses while declaring "I'm not going out like that." By the end of the clip—which also features Spanish singer Concha Buika—Nelly hops into an elegant swimming pool while still dressed to the 9s. We wish we had her "problems." Watch "Fuerte" below!

Nelly Furtado’s
latest single has changed names about as many times as Sean Combs, yet that didn’t stop her from delivering a killer acoustic version of the dance floor-ready tune — and several previous hits — for Walmart Soundcheck. Watch her live performance of "Night Is Young" (aka “What You Want To Do” aka “Free”) below.
