WHAT’S INCLUDED

The expanded digital edition features 28 tracks, including 10 bonus tracks. The collection includes three previously unreleased session tracks, two previously unreleased 2024 recordings, four newly remixed versions of fan favorites, and a previously unreleased secret demo.

Furtado shares, “At the core of performance is interpretation. To sing is to interpret. Being able to interpret my own repertoire, and the repertoire of others, is my favorite part of singing.

“Choosing the cadence, notes, embellishments, and delivery of the voice is where freedom is found as a singer. My favorite approach to this craft is through improvisation. My four new recordings of songs from Loose allow me to find new resonance within the themes of the songs at this current stage of my life as I approach midlife. It was a pleasure to spend an afternoon with Adam Tendler as he provided the perfect, adventurous musical foil, as we journeyed on a one-take improvisational voyage and found new hymns and trances within the Loose ‘canon.'”

Tendler adds, “Nelly and I were musical pen pals long before she invited me to join her in reimagining these four songs from Loose. Songs that are timeless in part because of their complexity and darkness. It was this shadow world we inhabited during our one-day, 11-hour recording session, creating several versions of each song in a single take, completely acoustic (piano/voice), and improvising them on the spot. To me, they have the arc of a song cycle.
