sorry, no chicken here.

Her new album is entirely in spanish. I like Nelly. I own her 3 previous cds. I don't know that I'm down for this one. I like a lil spanish here and there, or even Spanglish ala that track at the end of that Sublime cd. But 10+ tracks of a language me no speaka? I dunno.

Reviews are very positive on metacritic thus far.
 
I saw her interviewed the other day on our local FOX station. While Ive never heard her music before and dont plan on buying the CD, she made a compelling argument during the interview that its not the lyrics, its about the music which can be universally enjoyed.

This reminds me of the controversy surrounding "Conciones de mi padre" album by released by Linda Rondstat.

 
I'll probably pick it up cause I heart me some Nelly Furtado.. but had no idea this album was all in Spanish. 😱

Very odd, she has Portugese roots and is from Canada.

Does she have a large Spanish speaking fan base?

perhaps. spanish is sexy though, and sounds great and fluid with music. maybe she wanted todo some spanish music and thought it wouldn't sound authentic if not in spanish.

Especially Canadian-Portuguese, damn!

I guess it's the bigger market, but still sort of odd considering how much she used to proclaim her Portuguesiness.
