Remember when Nelly Furtado was not making music that sounded over-processed, over-mixed, over-synthesized, over-sexualized or over-Americanized?  Yeah, me too and I miss those days.  Her songs used to have meaningful lyrics and actual melodies. 
Take 2004’s “Try,” for example, from her album Whoa, Nelly! This isn’t my favourite version of this song but it’s still a lot more honest and beautiful than the stuff she’s making now.  What I love is how this song almost starts like it’s going to be acoustic then slowly builds and the emotion is undeniable.  How many times have you felt like all you …read more

Nelly Furtado released the song "All Good Things (Come to an End)" on November 17, 2006 off of her album "Loose." It peaked at #5 on the Canadian Singles Chart, #86 in the U.S. and #4 in the UK. I’m not a huge fan of Nelly’s newer music, but I don’t mind this song that much. It’s a bit of sad song, but I think it’s still pretty.
