7 is the upcoming seventh studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, scheduled for release on 20 September 2024, through Nelstar Entertainment and 21 Entertainment Group.[1] It will be her first album since 2017's The Ride, and was preceded by the singles "Love Bites" with Tove Lo and SG Lewis and "Corazón" with Bomba Estéreo. The album will additionally contain collaborations with Canadian singer Charlotte Day Wilson and Canadian producers WondaGurl and T-Minus.[2]

Background

After several years of inactivity, Furtado confirmed new music in an interview in Fault magazine in May 2023, saying that she had "recorded a hundred songs in the last 18 months" and was "so excited to bring people new music".[3]

With the album's announcement in July 2024, Furtado said that she wrote "400–500 pieces of music in 4 years" and explained that her ADHD does not "always allow for [her] to organize creations in a methodical way so it's hard to explain how we have chosen 14 songs that magically rose to the top of the heap".[4] Furtado likened the songs to "random seashells that may be similar but not at all alike" and said that her intention was to "provide some portals to trip out and release and escape".[4] Her label called the album "four years of artistic discovery".[2]

About the album title, Furtado stated it was the only title that made sense to her, as well as being her seventh studio album and seven years having passed since her last album, because "it's more like a collection. Fashion collections don't really have titles, they're just called collection number 10 or 21. This is my collection seven."[5]

Singles

Furtado released the lead single "Love Bites" in May 2024, a collaboration with Swedish singer Tove Lo and British DJ SG Lewis. Furtado stated in 2023 that she wanted to work with DJs as she felt "called back to music from the DJ community" and "realized how much people like to dance and escape to [her] music".[6] The song peaked at number 36 on the Canadian Billboard CHR/Top 40 chart,[7] number 2 on the US Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart,[8] and at number 21 on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart.[9]

The second single "Corazón" was released on 12 July 2024, the day following the album announcement.[1] Furtado first performed the song at Machaca Fest in Monterrey, Mexico, in June 2023;[10] she had mentioned a collaboration with Colombian band Bomba Estéreo in August 2023 after performing with them at the Osheaga Festival earlier that month.[11] In Canada, "Corazón" peaked at number 17 on the CHR/Top 40 chart.[12]
