Nelly Furtado rewrote album to please daughter
September 19th, 2009 - 1:20 am ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )London, Sep 18 (IANS) Singer Nelly Furtado rewrote her album to please her daughter. She axed several ballads from the album after her five-year-old daughter urged her to put “more fast songs” on the record.
The Canada-born singer recorded her new album “Mi Plan” at home and paid careful attention to the advice she was given by Nevis - her child with husband Demacio Castellon - while deciding the final track listing, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I had the English writer’s block so I decided to make an album in Spanish. I played it to my daughter and she said to me, ‘Mummy there are too many slow songs. You need more fast songs.’ So mummy went back to the studio and put a couple more fast songs on the album. She’s like a little A and R person and is pretty musical for her age,” said Furtado.
