Nelly Furtado - 7

Limited edition silver vinyl

Grammy-winning superstar Nelly Furtado returns with 7

"This collection of songs is so personal. It reflects my journey through heartbreak and finding my confidence as an artist again, into the pure joy and celebration you feel when you're nurturing your passion and are part of a community." — Nelly Furtado

Grammy-winning global superstar Nelly Furtado has announced her highly anticipated seventh studio album, 7 releasing via Republic/Casablanca Records. Her most inspired and personal collection to date, 7 — the Portuguese-Canadian singer-songwriter's first album in seven years — is the culmination of four years of artistic rediscovery.

With more than 20 billion streams, 35 million albums sold worldwide, and multiple No. 1 hit singles ("I'm Like A Bird") Nelly Furtado is an undisputed icon whose innovative songwriting shaped an era and transformed pop music. Furtado has seen her back catalog resurface in many ways, from remixes in DJ sets to viral TikToks. Not only did the millennial appetite for her music remain, but Gen Z was discovering — and loving — it.

Furtado took notice.

"I really feel like I was called back to the industry by the industry, especially DJs. I would go out and hear my songs played before arena shows of other artists, and at house parties and clubs," Furtado tells Grammy.com. "There was a sense of joy and celebration in it...I thought, This can only be remixed so many times, I better go make some new stuff."

Enter 7, Furtado's aptly titled seventh studio album. Due Sept. 20, 7 is the product of four years of fully immersing herself in the catharsis and connection of the studio. Furtado is confident and vulnerable across its 14 tracks. She crafted more than 400 songs during the process — and teamed up with friends new and old for her latest material.

Producer Dom Dolla helped birth Furtado's first new music since 2017 with the dance floor heater "Eat Your Man," a coy nod to her own "Maneater" that arrived last June; their partnership has also included appearances at Australia's Beyond The Valley festival in 2022, Lollapalooza and Portola Fest in 2023, and Coachella 2024. Along the way, the singer has also linked with past collaborators Timbaland and Justin Timberlake ("Keep Going Up") and Juanes ("Gala y Dalí").

Even 7's first two singles are collaborations: the sultry electronic-fused bop "Love Bites" with dance pop experts Tove Lo and SG Lewis, and the confident anthem "Corazón" with Colombian electro-pop wizards Bomba Estéreo.

Along with offering a taste of the joy and sonic breadth of 7, both songs prove that Nelly Furtado isn't just back — she's having more fun than ever.
