Flashback Friday: Nelly Furtado "Try"
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 could do is try? I can’t even count and there truly were times when this song was popular that I would hear it and feel comforted. I’ve remembered over the years for that very reason. All I will remember about her newer songs like “Promiscuous Girl” will be how much they make me miss the old Nelly. Come back to Canada!
