Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Nelly Fortado's back with a brand new album seven after
- 0:05Speaker 2: a fitting seven years away from the industry, and the
- 0:07Speaker 2: musical backbone of the project is fun with dance floor
- 0:09Speaker 2: already cuts, but the lyrics touched deeper topics, including heartbreak,
- 0:13Speaker 2: and while they might seem like opposing energies at first,
- 0:16Speaker 2: when you hear how Nelly cooked up the critically acclaimed
- 0:18Speaker 2: the project, the recipe makes perfect sense. She tells Billboard.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I did clean out my heart on this album. I
- 0:23Speaker 2: got out a lot of emotional garbage. Nothing will humble
- 0:25Speaker 2: you and set you back to square one like heartbreak.
- 0:27Speaker 2: So when I started the album, I almost made the
- 0:30Speaker 2: studio a party. I was spending every Friday night there.
- 0:32Speaker 2: It's a cathartic exercise. And then I started inviting friends
- 0:35Speaker 2: and it became my social life and that vibe trickled
- 0:38Speaker 2: into the music. But Nelly promises this project isn't just
- 0:40Speaker 2: the party. It touches on all aspects of her life,
- 0:44Speaker 2: including motherhood. In fact, her oldest daughter even contributed to
- 0:47Speaker 2: the project.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Seven is out now, that's direct from Hollywood.
