Timbaland and his protégé Danja produced the bulk of the album, which incorporates influences of dance, R& B and hip hop.

Loose is the third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Nelly Furtado, released on 6 June 2006 by Interscope Records and the Mosley Music Group.

The lead single is "Powerless (Say What You Want)" and the second single is the ballad "Try". The album was not as successful as her debut, partly due to the album's less "poppy" sound.[4] "Powerless (Say What You Want)" was later remixed, featuring Colombian rocker Juanes, who had previously worked with Furtado on his track "Fotografía" ("Photograph").

The two would collaborate again on "Te Busqué" ("I searched for you"), the single from Furtado's album Loose.[5] The album was underpromoted from her label Dream. Works Records; it was announced on 1. November 2. 00. 3 that Universal Music Group reached an agreement to acquire Dream.

Works Records from Dream. Works SKG for "about $1. The purchase came at a time when the music business was "going through major changes" as it struggled to "counter falling sales and the impact of unofficial online music sales".[7] Dream. Works Records was folded into the Interscope Geffen A& M umbrella label in January 2. Furtado's recording contract was then absorbed into Interscope Records.[8]Furtado wanted to make a pop music record "to prove to myself that I could be more streamlined", and cited as a major influence Madonna's album Ray of Light, saying that "she was smooth but sexy, universal, epic, iconic!" Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine suggested for Furtado to work with Timbaland, who had produced Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On", which featured Furtado in a remix, and done a remix of Furtado's hit "Turn Off the Light”.[9]Recording[edit]Furtado began work on Loose by holding with emcee Jellystone what she referred to as a "hip- hop workshop", in which they would "write rhymes, dissect them, and try different flows over beats."[1.

The first producers she worked with were Track & Field[1. Whoa, Nelly! (2. 00. Folklore (2. 00. 3)—and by May 2.

Swollen Members and K'naan.[1. She worked with Nellee Hooper in London on reggae- oriented material and with Lester Mendez in Los Angeles on acoustic songs.[1. One of the tracks Mendez helped to create is "Te Busqué", which is co- written by and features Juanes, who collaborated with Furtado on his 2.

Watch Sharpay`S Fabulous Adventure Online Mic there. Can I Have It Like That") and Scott Storch (with whom she recorded a "straight- up rap song") before entering the studio with Timbaland.[1. He and his protégé at the time, Danja, co- produced eight of the tracks, with another produced solely by Danja. For some of the beats on the songs, Timbaland finished work on ones already present in the studio that were half- developed or just "nucleuses"; the rest were completely reworked.[1. Furtado recorded around forty tracks for Loose, deciding which she would include based on the sonics of the album—she called Timbaland "a sonic extraterrestrial" who came up with a sequence of songs that flowed, and said that the one she had devised was supposedly unsatisfactory.[1.

She recorded an unreleased collaboration with Justin Timberlake, "Crowd Control", which she described as "kind of sexy" and "a cute, clubby, upbeat, fun track".[1. Other songs considered for inclusion on the album include "Chill Boy", "Friend of Mine", "Go", "Hands in the Air", "Pretty Boy", "Vice" and "Weak".[1. Furtado said in her diary on her official website that she recorded a remix of "Maneater" with rapper Lil Wayne; it was only released as part of a compilation album, Timbaland's Remix & Soundtrack Collection, she also used the instrumental of the song during many television performances of "Maneater".[1. A version of "All Good Things (Come to an End)" featuring vocals by Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, who co- wrote the song, was not released after a request from Martin's label, EMI.

The song was released on the album, but only Furtado's vocals are featured.[1. Furtado explained that "Loose was 9. I’d write my melodies and songs to the beat."[2. Post- production[edit]The "off- the- cuff" conclusion to production was one of the reasons the album was titled Loose.[1. It was named partly after the spontaneous decisions she made when creating the album.[2.

The album is also called Loose because it is "the opposite of calculated" and came naturally to Furtado and Timbaland; she called him her "distant musical cousin because he was always pushing boundaries and always carving out his own path", which she believed she was doing with Loose.[2. I think you have to keep surprising people as an artist, and I like that—I love doing that", she said.[2. Loose was also named partly for the R& B girl group TLC, who Furtado said she admires for "taking back their sexuality, showing they were complete women."[2. She said she wanted the album to be "assertive and cool" and "sexy but fun", like TLC, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Janet Jackson, who inspired Furtado because, as she put it, she was "comfortable in her sexuality and womanhood" when her 1. That's the Way Love Goes" was released.[1.

During the recording of Loose, Furtado listened to several electro and rock musicians, including Bloc Party, System of a Down, M. I. A., Feist, Queens of the Stone Age, Metric and Death from Above 1. According to her, music by such bands is "very loud and has a garage theme" to it, some of which she felt she captured on the album.[1. Furtado has said rock music is "rhythmic again" and hip hop- influenced after it had become "so churning and boring."[1. Because the mixing engineers were aware of Timbaland and Furtado's rock influences, the songs were mixed on a mixing board in the studio instead of "the fancy mixer at the end".[1. Furtado said she preferred the louder volume that process gave to the album because she wanted it to sound like her demo tapes, which she prefers to her finished albums. She said, "It didn't have that final wash over it; it didn't have the final pressing at the end, save for a couple sounds".[1.
