Nelly Furtado returns to music with her 6th independent studio album, The Ride. The indie pop album flirts with synth pop sounds and lyrics that deal with her now impending divorce. As dark as her relationship sounds in the 12 track album, it is still uplifting and infectious with great modern production by producer John Congleton (Blondie, St. Vincent).
Furtado on her album being her “hangover” album – “I’m calling it my “hangover album”: The party was fun, but then you crash on the ground and wake up the next day and feel kind of cool, but have stuff to deal with. That’s what all the songs are about.”
