The Ride

Nelly Furtado

Crunchy analog synths meet raw, self-reflective songwriting. A gritty art-pop pivot that trades club anthems for intimate, textured indie-pop explorations.

March 31, 2017 · Capitol Records

A resilient, slightly weary exploration of self-identity after the spotlight fades.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the distorted, crunchy synth bass kicks in on Cold Hard Truth, signaling a sharp departure from her previous pop sheen.
The gospel-tinged organ swell on Pipe Dreams that grounds her nasal delivery in a surprising, soulful warmth.
The stark, vulnerable piano balladry of Tap Dancing where the metaphor of performance vs. reality hits with painful clarity.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

Vulnerable saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
