Nelly Furtado performs at Issy les Moulineaux.

In case you may have forgotten, Nelly Furtado has a new album, ‘The Spirit Indestructible’, on the way. To help remind people of the already struggling record, the sharp-voiced songbird ventured to Paris to perform at Issy les Moulineaux where she debuted its title track.

‘The Spirit Indestructible’ was produced by Darkchild, who also crafted the ill-fated ‘Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)’. Listen to the song below to determine if Furtado finally has a much needed hit:

There is no question that ‘The Spirit Indestructible’ and ‘Big Hoops’ are almost identical but the latter is clearly the stronger of the two songs. In fact, it would have been a better single for this project because of it’s discernable lyrics and frankly less annoying vocals.

Hopefully, Furtado has a plan to salvage this era of her career. It would be such a shame to see such a talented and unique artist face away because of a few misguided decisions. By the way, the repetitive Darkchild has struck again.
