| | Nelly Furtado Mi Plan CD Nelly Furtado Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Cooling her heels while crafting a follow-up to her hot dance makeover LOOSE, Nelly Furtado released MI PLAN, her first full-length Spanish album, in the fall of 2009. As it turns out, MI PLAN comes much closer to Furtado's previous music than LOOSE, but she's retained many lessons from her time with Timbaland, giving this a much stronger rhythmic foundation than her first two albums which this otherwise resembles in sound and structure. Nelly still sounds vaguely like a modern hippie, fusing together cultures with a hazily spiritual undertow, something that works well on an album like this, which is pitched at a Latin audience but never feels like a niche throwaway by a superstar. Instead, it's assured and cohesive, holding together better than her muddled sophomore effort FOLKLORE but having a similar range, bouncing elegantly from barbed alt-rock guitars to electro synths to grand, gorgeous ballads. In fact, it says quite a bit about Nelly Furtado's ambitions and skill when her Spanish detour winds up being arguably her strongest album yet.

Raul Huerta Biography Born in Arequipa Peru, descendent of a family of musicians. He grew up surrounded by that magical air of singers, guitars, poetry and Bohemian. With 8 years his first contact with a scene and that didn't stop until the day of today. Following the steps of his grandfather Antonio Tapia 'Chocomel', popular singer of typical music of the region, he learned with him the secrets of the guitar. At the age of 16 years his first Rock band called'Piramide'. Time later discovers Silvio Rodriguez and the Nueva Cancion Latinoamericana, this fact would mark him definitively in his musical way. Armed with his guitar he would cross Universities, Institutes, Hospitals, Theatres, Seats, Stages, jails, etc. taking his message and his voice. In 1989 records its first Album called 'Solo un rumor' after being accidentally discovered by a producer in Lima - Peru. That Production would open to the doors of television programs and radio to him without stopping being the nomadic trovador of years back. Not being a commercial product would limitate his success to the cultural-intellectual circles of his country. At the same time their studies in the Catholic University of Arequipa would prevent him to remain in the Capital, something vital for a musician who wished to project himself at national level. Years later would finish the carrier of Social Communication but he would never work on this Profession!..or maybe yes, communicating with his guitar and songs. With this album would manage to project himself at national level like the Trovador, making innumerable presentations, mainly in the south of the country, as well as in Bolivia and Chile, arriving to share scene with his admired Silvio, Pablo, Fito, among others. He became ...

Dee Dee Bridgewater may be the first jazz singer to devote an entire release to the theater music of Kurt Weill. She's in great form, with arrangements for the most part by her ex-husband Cecil Bridgewater. "Bilbao Song" is quite novel, with the addition of exotic flamenco guitars and percussion and a guest appearance by Antonio Hart on flute, and her tender interpretation of "My Ship" is first rate. "Alabama Song" leans more toward outright blues, with a saucy vocal and churning Hammond B3 organ. The obscure "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" starts out funky, but its middle section is pure hard bop with a fine solo by alto saxophonist Daniele Scannapieco. But the overly pop sound of keyboardist Thierry Eliez's scoring of "This Is New"; the uninspired chart of "Speak Low," which detracts from her fine singing and the bland French cabaret setting of "Youkali" hardly make them ...
