Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado has dropped her first album today since 2017.
The “I’m Like A Bird” singer’s latest body of work 7 features 14 songs, including its title track “Corazón,” which Furtado said took her two years to write.
This album comes seven years after her album The Ride, which she released in 2017.
And, fans of the British Columbia-born musician have been reacting to the announcement online.
“I‘ve been waiting so desperately for a new album!!!,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Yass queen. Can’t wait for your art,” another person commented.
“Take as many years as you need, just please don’t stop making music! We love you,” someone else said.
The 45-year-old first teased the album back in July.
“I made 400-500 pieces of music in 4 years. My ADHD doesn’t always allow 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,” she wrote on Instagram.
In an interview with The Breakfast Club released today, Furtado talked about embracing her ADHD, which wasn’t diagnosed until she was in her early 40s.
“To be honest my brain is different, it’s different, I have inattentive ADHD and this time when I made this record I was like I’m just gonna lean into that,” she said.
