Whoa Nelly!
Drawing from her Portuguese heritage and eclectic tastes, plus co-producers Track and Field's bag of sonic tricks, Nelly Furtado's debut album has arrived like a splash of cool water. Standouts in this colorful quilt of songs include the soaring "Hey Man," the electro-samba love song "Legend," and "Turn Off the Light," a sizzling jam that admits we all get scared in the dark.
