She has produced tracks in English, Portuguese, Hindi, and Spanish. Performing one night at a Toronto nightclub Lee's Palace, Furtado met Philosopher Kings singer Gerald Eaton. Eaton became an important collaborator, co-producing Furtado's debut album, Whoa, Nelly!, when she signed with DreamWorks Records.
Her style, described by Toronto Sun writer Jane Stevenson as a cross between Macy Gray and Ivana Santilli, incorporates pop, trip-hop, bossa nova, soul, R&B, hip-hop, and folk, and was a result of her urge to move beyond the kinds of music that have always emotionally moved her. She has mentioned Cornershop, Beck and Finley Quaye as factors in her sound. Before her record deal, her music was slighty gloomy, along the lines of Portishead and Radiohead. After a while, she became tired of all her songs being depressing. She has said "...then I realized good music does not have to be sad, it can be poppy and wonderful and fun, and that's the kind of record I want to make."
On September 20, 2003, Furtado gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Nevis. Furtado's second album, Folklore, was released on November 25, 2003 and included "Força" ("Force"), the official anthem of the 2004 European Football Championship. She has also been associated with the band Swollen Members, who are old friends from British Columbia. Her next album is scheduled for release in January 2006. ...more
