New Video: Nelly Furtado – ‘The Spirit Indestructible’Eclectic singer Nelly Furado serves up the title track from her comeback LP ‘The Spirit Indestructible’ as the set’s latest single offering. The pulsating cut follows ‘Big Hoops (The Bigger The Better)‘, which struggled to take off anywhere. We’ll christen it a “buzz single” on her behalf. Hoping for rosier fortunes with ‘TSI’, Furtado unwrapped its official video moments ago. Check it out after the jump… Edgy, different, and yet uniquely understated, both the song and its accompanying clip embody all that we’ve come to love about the 33 year old. Here’s hoping it’s the “hit” it deserves to be. ThatGrapeJuice

Hot Shots: Nelly Furtado Ups Her Diva For EsquireCop a gander of Nelly Furtado. The ‘Big Hoops’ singer strikes many a fierce pose in the latest issue of UK magazine, Esquire. Needless to say, whoa Nelly. She looks hot tamale. For her sake, her comeback album ‘The Spirit Indestructible’ needs to be just as blazing when it arrives on September 11th. Three singles in, the set is yet to spawn a hit. Yet, as time has shown, a hit album isn’t always preceded by hit singles. ThatGrapeJuice

Nelly Furtado's 'Spirit Indestructible' Bombs / Sells 3% Of Last Album Opening These days a six week industry hiatus runs risk of folk forgetting you; hence a six year break is arguably asking for it. Case, point Nelly Furtado, who'll need to channel the title of her new album 'The Spirit Indestructible' to get over its shocking chart performance this week. Preceded by singles 'Big Hoops', 'Parking Lot', and its title track, the LP (which is Furtado's first traditional release since 2006's super-seller 'Loose') is on course to debut with shocking numbers. Details after the jump¡... According to Hits Daily Double, 'Indestructible' is set to debut outside of the top 50 of the Billboard 200 with sales of less than 7000 copies. Yes, you read right. To put it into perspective, the sales represent approximately 3% of the first-week figures for 'Loose' -- which opened at #1 with sales of 219,000 in June 2006. And as if not bad enough, the LP's fortunes aren't any better in Britain where it debuted at #46 on the Official UK Album Chart after selling just 2637 units. *********** Needless to say, shocking stuff. But after picking our jaws up from the floor, we're left wondering...is it really that surprising? Radio has paid dust to all of the album's singles, while the tracks have resonated with few beyond Furtado's hardcore fan-base. Many of those fans are drawing on the ever-employed "bad promo" excuse. Yet, sales this terrible indicate a problem much deeper; a problem we see as blamable on Nelly's lengthy hiatus, yet more so the material. It just wasn't good --especially for a comeback album. Indeed, its best moments were often "too left-field", while the vast majority of it was a muddled mess. The whole episode is all sorts of sad given the success of her last outing and how long she spent piecing this one together. If she's to salvage what was once a flourishing career, she'll need to deconstruct her approach pronto and re-think her game-plan. Because, as it is, she's served up one of the year's biggest bombs -- one that'll call many things into question, including her record deal. Here's hoping everything works out, as Nelly is super-talented. ThatGrapeJuice

“The Spirit Indestructible”: Nelly Furtado Talks Low Album SalesFor Nelly Furtado, the cost her six year long chart hiatus hit home upon the release of her new LP ‘The Spirit Indestructible’. Leaving spectators dazed and confused with first week sales failing to hit 7,000 units sold figure, recent weeks have seen Furtado shy away from speaking on the project…until now. Find out what she had to say on the release below… Speaking to ‘The Huffington Post‘, she shared: “I’ve had kind of everything happen to me commercially and at different levels. I’ve had different scenes and I’ve dabbled in a lot of markets so I see the music world as very global and I’m always looking for new avenues and opportunities, so one chart or anything doesn’t necessarily [mean anything.]“Let’s hope Interscope feel the same way. Though Furtado is and will always remain a breath of fresh air as far as sound goes, her numbers this time around are too low to warrant an explanation like the one above. For, while sales around 80 to 100k might be forgiven or overlooked by a label, pulling in 6,000 or so copies may leave some wondering if the album was worth releasing at all- considering the fact it was purchased by next to no one. The way we see it, the LP’s numbers came as a result of A. her lengthy absence from the scene and B. material that didn’t quick stick in the way she needed it to. Here’s hoping her next LP delivers a more cohesive sound, and strays away from cuts like ‘Hoops’ and serves more akin to ‘Say It Right’, ‘Manos El Aire’ and the ever moving ‘Powerless‘.
