Strutting into Westwood's W Hotel in a tight purple dress, matching pumps and isn't-she-somebody-famous? sunglasses, Nelly Furtado is the very model of a modern pop princess. The burly bodyguards, the anxious makeup assistant, the aura of casual conspicuousness -- it's all there. But a few minutes later, seated poolside and sipping chamomile tea after swapping her high heels for slippers, Furtado is as sensible as her footwear. Bubbling with sly humor, thoughtful observations and emotional frankness, she lays out the back story to her new album, "Mi Plan" (My Plan), her debut all-Spanish-language CD, released Tuesday.

Now that "Mi Plan" is out and I have been able to share it with you guys, I go back and think how interesting the creation process is. I personally can only write if I am inspired, and the inspiration for this album was my daily life and everyday moments. I would go to the studio and meet with Lester Mendez or Alex Cuba and James Bryan and they would play a track for me and based on what had happened in my day the melodies would start flowing and words or images would come to my head, I would then sit with Alex or Lester and finish the lyrics to the melodies that the feeling of the song inspired me. Someday I would love to show you guys how the melodies are born and then you can compare it with the finished song....I don't know just felt like sharing that with you!

Hey Everyone!
I can't believe that in a few short weeks, you will all be able to hear my fourth studio album, and my first ever in Spanish!

'Mi Plan' is being released on September 15th and I hope you guys love it. After releasing and touring to promote 'Loose' I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next. I wasn't feeling too inspired. Recording in Spanish, though, has created a whole new way for me to express myself, and completely re-invigorated my love of making music.

'Mi Plan' has some of the most amazing collaborations that I've ever done and I feel very fortunate to have worked with incredibly talented artists. My fans are so incredible, I wanted to give you all the chance to check out the just-released tracklist from 'Mi Plan', to get you all excited for the album.

1) Manos al aire
2) Mas
3) Mi Plan
4) Suenos
5) Baja Otra Luz
6) Vacacion
7) Suficiente Tiempo
8) Fuerte
9) Silencio
10) Como Lluvia
11) Feliz Cumpleanos

I cannot wait for you all the hear it, and let me know what you think of it.
Much love, -Nelly Furtado

Transcurrido el día y con nubes amenazando tormenta, los músicos de Nelly Furtado salieron para ejecutar los temas: “I’m like a bird”, “Turn Off the Ligths” y “Maneater”, que cantaron sus coristas.

Cuando parecía que el ensayo de la intérprete canadiense terminaría, con los primeras notas de “Más”, su nuevo sencillo, Furtado brincó al escenario para hacer mancuerna con sus músicos y saludando al público, incluyendo a su club de fans de Guadalajara, agradeció y con un “los quiero mucho” terminó la canción que pertenece a Manos al Aire, su más reciente álbum.
