base talk] Nelly Furtado's "Loose" Appreciation Thread - Base - ATRL
 

"I used Madonna's Ray of Light as a template for Loose: she was smooth but sexy, universal, epic, iconic!"

"Over time, I've come to realize how special Loose is to a lot of people. It's good to be proud of what you do, and I think Tim and I really did create something new. I'm proud we were able to celebrate our chemistry on such a large level. I'm happy people like seeing us together and creating some kind of electricity."

America is trash wbk rih9

What an era, though! Wig! I remember the singles from Folklore flopping in the UK (even though Powerless and Try deserved better rip1) and didn't really expect to hear from her again. Maneater was such a shock! Such a tune! I remember dancing through the park humming that song that summer cry3

The album overall doesn't live up to the singles, but when the singles are that good, it doesn't matter!

Also welcome to the forum and thanks for all the stats jj2

I love this album. It was AWESOME. A true classic indeed. 🥰🥰

My favorite songs from it are Afraid, Maneater, Promiscuous, Glow, No Hay Igual, Say It Right (the best song on the album tbh and her best song in general), Do It, In God's Hands and All Good Things 🥰🥰

Loose is EVERYTHING!

A: Should be Nelly Furtado, not Nelly, as Nelly is a rapper.
B: IMHO, this is the album which ended her career and made her a complete sell-out.

Well damn I wish the other girls would sell out with bops up to the standards of the decade defining top drawer material that was Maneater, Promiscuous, and Say It Right
