Nelly Furtado has announced that her new album, 7, the follow-up to 2017’s The Ride, will arrive on September 20. She’s also shared a new single, ‘Corazón’ featuring Bomba Estéreo, which follows ‘Love Bites’ with Tove Lo and SG Lewis. ‘Corazón’ is co-produced by Nelly Furtado and T-Minus, and its accompanying video features Furtado, Liliana Saumet, and Lido Pimienta.

“I started going out again and I kept hearing my music being played and remixed by DJs, and at the same time, my eldest daughter was showing me how the online community — including a whole new audience of Gen Z fans — were discovering and embracing my music, 20 years later,” Furtado said in a press release. “I heard the calling!”
Furtado wrote 400 songs over the course of four years. “I found my voice again,” she explained. “I came to the studio lost and searching for my artistic identity. I had done a lot of reflection and self-work during my seven years outside of music so I was bringing that growth into the studio with me.”
“This collection of songs is so personal,” she added. “It reflects my journey through heartbreak and finding my confidence as an artist again, into the pure joy and celebration you feel when you’re nurturing your passion and are part of a community.”
