Nelly Furtado has revealed she will drop her first new album since 2017, titled 7 – due out Sept. 20. Furtado wrote on Instagram: “I made 400-500 pieces of music in 4 years. My ADHD doesn’t always allow for me to organize creations in a methodical way so it’s hard to explain how we have chosen 14 songs that magically rose to the top of the heap. Phew – they come together just by nature of being in the same collection, 7, kind of like random seashells that may be similar but not at all alike. What is cool though, every time I would doubt myself I would see the number 7 everywhere.”

After focusing on motherhood, Furtado felt the pull to go back into the studio: “I started going out again and I kept hearing my music being played and remixed by DJs, and at the same time, my eldest daughter was showing me how the online community – including a whole new audience of Gen Z fans – was discovering and embracing my music, 20 years later .. I heard the calling! … I found my voice again. I came to the studio lost and searching for my artistic identity. I had done a lot of reflection and self-work during my seven years outside of music so I was bringing that growth into the studio with me. 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.”

Furtado released the song “Corazón,” which is in English and Spanish and features Bomba Estéreo. “Corazón” is the second single to be released from 7, following Furtado’s pop anthem “Love Bites” featuring Tove Lo & SG Lewis.
