We are here with the Nelly Furtado. How are you today?
00:03
Si, si, si! Very good. How are you?
00:06
I'm doing well. Tell me about this look.
00:07
Oh, thank you. This is a Dunn-ness gown. It's very fun to wear.
00:10
I mean, it's a bit like bringing sexy back here with the back cut out,
00:14
but I'm comfortable. I feel good.
00:16
So talk to me about your recent collab with JT and Timbaland.
00:19
We gotta talk about it.
00:20
Um, it's... Oh, God. I'm presenting Song of the Year with Timbaland tonight.
00:25
I might have seen Justin earlier. I'm not sure. Maybe it wasn't him.
00:29
And, yeah, we're so excited to be making music again.
00:33
It feels like a mini miracle for us that we could get back in
00:36
and share the love and the chemistry again.
00:39
And I've noticed that a lot of your content has gone viral.
00:42
- Aww. - What's that reception been like?
00:44
You know, it all started with TikTok, where I found, like,
00:47
a lot of my old songs had a resurgence, whether it was, like,
00:50
"Give It to Me" or "Promiscuous" or "Man Eater," all these songs remixed.
00:53
A lot of DJs were remixing my songs so much, and so I got in on the fun,
00:57
and I started to do TikTok dances and videos and just...
01:01
It's a platform I really enjoy.
01:03
I really like the creativity and the irreverence of TikTok.
01:07
I think it's a really great way for us as fans to connect with you as an artist.
01:11
Yeah, I think so, too. It's all kinds of ways to connect,
01:13
and I'm always thinking about that,
01:15
and I'm always watching new creators and new sounds,
01:18
and, um, just that's how you stay creative, you know, in the mix of things.
01:23
And speaking of that, what's at the top of your playlist right now?
01:26
Oh, well, I just saw Flo Milly, and we're actually friends.
01:28
We've been in the studio together before.
01:30
I haven't seen her since then. Like, I went to her show in Toronto.
01:33
She came to the studio. We hung out.
01:35
Next time I see her, she's looking like a million dollars
01:37
with this pink, sparkly thing, and I'm like, "Girl, I haven't seen you since..."
01:41
Tonight's already great, you know?
01:43
So Flo Milly, top of the playlist.
01:45
Get the fuck out!
01:46
Wait, and Doja.
01:48
We're about to get kicked in the face.
01:50
And Doja.
01:51
And, uh, SZA, and, um...
01:55
I'm excited for Karol G. I'm excited for Anitta.
01:58
I love Anitta.
01:59
A lot of Latinx representation out here tonight.
02:02
Yeah, sí me gusta.
02:03
Así me gusta.
02:05
Okay, one last question for you.
02:06
What are you most excited about for the future of music?
02:10
Um, for me, the future of music, oh my God.
02:13
I think music is in a really good place right now.
02:16
I think music business is thriving right now, in my personal opinion.
02:20
A lot of great creativity out there, and...
02:23
Oh my God, just more and more. I love the international explosion
02:26
and the Latin explosion. I love that, like...
02:29
I don't know, I was listening to, like, Friday Latin Mix on Spotify,
02:31
and I'm like, "I love every single song."
02:34
It's like... I just think music is so exciting right now.
