Nelly Furtado and Katy Perry to Release New Albums on the Same Day

Nelly Furtado has made an exciting announcement regarding her upcoming album, "7," which is slated for release on September 20, 2024. This marks a significant return for the artist, whose last album, "The Ride," was released on March 31, 2017. Over seven years have passed since her last full-length music release, making this new album a highly anticipated comeback. "The Ride" showcased a departure from her earlier work, featuring a more introspective and mature sound.

In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram account, Furtado expressed the deeply personal nature of this project. She wrote, "How do you explain a song that took 2 years to make, in three different cities, with an army of people, and that’s just the ONE SONG named CORAZÓN ❤️‍🔥" She described music as her "whole language and life and love and blessing," highlighting how personal and significant this album is to her.

Furtado detailed the journey of creating "Corazón," starting from a trip to Colombia and evolving over four years of recording. She emphasized the journey's importance, noting the magic and lessons that happen during the process. "I made 400-500 pieces of music in 4 years," she revealed, attributing her ADHD to the creative chaos and the challenge of organizing her creations methodically. Out of this vast collection, 14 songs were chosen to comprise the album "7," each representing a unique piece of her artistic journey.

In her message, Furtado also acknowledged the collaborative effort behind the album, thanking everyone who contributed to the creation of "7." She wrote, "I did not freaking do this ALONE by any measure. Thank you to EVERYONE WHO I MET AND MADE MUSIC WITH AND MADE STUFF WITH ON THIS ENTIRE JOURNEY UP UNTIL NOW YOU ARE ALL SO PRECIOUS TO ME FOREVER AND EVER AMEN." Read the full message below.

The album "7" promises to be a collection of diverse and eclectic tracks, reflecting Furtado's unique style and the experiences she has gathered over the years. Her recent single, "Love Bites," featuring Tove Lo and SG Lewis, released on June 28, 2024, has already generated significant buzz and anticipation for the album.

Coincidentally, another superstar of the 2010s, Katy Perry, has confirmed the release of her sixth studio album, "143," on the same date, September 20, 2024.
