Nelly Furtado's 'Loose' Anniversary: Ranking Every Song 10 Years Later
2006 was one of the best years in modern pop music to date, from the unapologetic nature of Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds to Beyoncé's dance-ready B'Day. But in the midst of the big-name releases, the credit goes to Nelly Furtado's Loose for elevating the genre.
The Canadian singer's third studio album turned 10 years old this month, and we at Fuse decided to look back at record that solidified a sound of its time. Nelly challenged herself by fusing her already-loved folk/alternative pop sound with hip-hop/R&B, which helped her to break pop boundaries.
The new sound is credited to Timbaland, who utilized Nelly as the first step into dominating the pop world once again. So in celebration of Loose, get into our personalized ranking of the album!
