Editor's note

Nelly Furtado's pop shapeshifting across two decades

A Portuguese-Canadian singer who moved from folk-pop beginnings to Timbaland collaborations and Spanish-language albums.

If you want to hear her range, listen to 'Turn Off The Light' and then 'Promiscuous.' They're only a few years apart, but they sound like different artists.

She's one of those artists who kept changing lanes when it wasn't expected. 'Promiscuous' with Timbaland in 2006 was a hard pivot from the acoustic feel of 'Turn Off The Light,' and then she followed it with a Spanish album, 'Mi Plan.' The shifts weren't always smooth, but they made her catalog more interesting than most pop acts from that era.

She started with the folk-pop of 'Whoa, Nelly!' in 2000, then worked with Timbaland on 'Loose' in 2006 for a more electronic sound. Later albums like 'Mi Plan' and 'The Ride' moved into Spanish-language material and indie collaborations.

Her 2006 album 'Loose' included the track 'Promiscuous' featuring Timbaland, which became a major hit. She followed that with 'Mi Plan' in 2009, then 'The Spirit Indestructible' in 2012 and 'The Ride' in 2017. Her songs include 'All Good Things (Come To An End)' and 'Te Busqué' featuring Juanes.
