About
Folklore sees Nelly Furtado well and truly re-discovering her roots. There isn't a frothy pop song to be found on this album, which isn't to say there aren't any hooks. Here is something really rather special; Nelly exploring the capabilities of her voice and trying out a remarkably eclectic range of styles. It might be as popular as its predecessor, but ths album contains more talent than everybody expected it.
