‘Made Me Dig Even Deeper’: Nelly Furtado Reveals How Daughter Stopped Her From Using Auto-Tune

As a dedicated fan of Nelly Furtado, I am thrilled to see her making a powerful comeback with her upcoming album, 7. Her connection with her daughter Nevis has significantly influenced the direction and authenticity of this new project, reminding Furtado of the importance of staying true to her unique style.


Nelly Furtado’s 20-year-old daughter Nevis had a big impact on the new direction of Furtado’s upcoming album, “7.” In an interview with NME, Furtado shared that Nevis acted as an unofficial music executive (A&R) during the creation process.

Nevis strongly disagreed with one track on the album that used auto-tune, believing it didn’t fit with the authentic sound of Furtado’s mother’s music. Her criticism led Furtado to reconsider the album’s approach and make necessary changes.

Nelly Furtado makes a comeback after seven years

Nevis emphasized to Furtado the significance of preserving the richness and complexity of her music, inspiring her to put greater emphasis on depth and sincerity, traits beloved by her fans. With Nevis’s guidance, Furtado delved deeper into these aspects, maintaining the unique essence of her upcoming album.

After a seven-year absence from releasing new music, Nelly Furtado is making a strong return to the scene. According to NME, her lengthy break was due to starting a family and having two children since her last album, The Ride (released in 2017), welcomed a son and a daughter into her life.

I’ve shared before how it’s been nearly three years since I last stepped foot in a recording studio, but my passion for music and the exhilarating feeling of hearing my voice bounce back during soundchecks has me itching to return. So, I’m making a comeback to the music industry with an album that aims to capture this very energy and share it with all of you.

Nelly announces new album and single, Corazón

On July 11, Furtado shared on Instagram that she was releasing her new album and single, titled Corazón. She expressed how deeply personal this work is for her, likening music to her native tongue, lifestyle, affection, and blessing. She finds it challenging to neatly wrap up her feelings into a polished creation.

Furtado’s latest album marks a major return for her, bringing together her personal experiences and musical fervor. Her devoted fans can’t wait to discover the new sounds and expressions she’s been nurturing during her absence.

While on a trip to Colombia with companions, Nelly found the motivation for her latest composition, “Corazon.” For the past four years, she dedicated herself to perfecting this piece, noting that the creative journey held equal importance as the completed album.

She expressed her intention to share more visual content of the process, yet emphasized that the valuable aspects were the experiences, emotions, and connections she gained throughout the journey.

Furtado shared that encountering the number 7 often made her more self-assured when she was uncertain. In conclusion, she assured fans she wouldn’t stop creating music and bid them farewell with a friendly sign-off.
