Nelly Furtado - Folklore
After the success of Furtado's debut 'Whoa Nelly' the lively singer/songwriter returns with her second release 'Folklore'. Joined again by producers Track & Field, the album sees Nelly explore her Portuguese roots while continuing to blend hip hop, pop, soul and South American rhythms. The album includes guest appearances from jazz outfit Kronos Quartet, Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso, and Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger.
