The album predates Timberlakes by a few months, had extremely forward thinking genre breaking productions by Danja & Timbaland, was revolutionary and arguably one of the best pop albums of the entire 2000s. The music was stripped down yet hard hitting with a raw type of sexual yet cool energy brought by Furtado. The latin influenced club focused hip hop / r&B tone delivered some ridiculous singles on the record, just obscene how many quality singles used to be on albums back in the day. Pop music has fallen of so hard minus XCX and Lipa. I think Guardian Newspapers review described the sound well "Colour huge, walloping beats and minor-chord, robo-metal riffs with the 1980s electro-soul drama of Shannon and the club-kid effervescence of a young Madonna." She delivers the irresistible hooks of Maneater, Promiscuous and Do It with punchy, playful charisma rather than breathy cooing.

Allmusics' review adds more a***ysis of the production (Timbaland) "he gives much of this music a bracing feel, dense with old-school synths, subtle sample collages, bone-crunching bass, cascading vocal hooks, and beats that sound so heavy it takes careful listening to realize how nimble they are"

Reading s***forks review on the album, once again they have no clue about the music or the producers calling Danja "Timbo4cheap production" when in actuality Danja was the one innovating and pushing the production sonics forward during the 00s, he was bringing the ideas to Timbaland and was the major driving force of the Future/Sex Love Sounds music.

Lowkey it's funny to see how much of a female hating company s***fork used to be before they did a quick image clean. Just an ignorant company that had and still has no clue about black influenced music and latin artists.

It was a pro woman album which in retrospect was ahead of its time.

I aint tryna listen to nelly Furtado

Great album but the answer is simple, she doesn’t have the career JT has.

Incredible album.

this song still sounds new

she is amazing

but JT was well known super star by then with all those hit singles being some of most well known singles of 2000s

dunno

but promiscuous girl and maneater slap

Canadian legend

Maneater slaps so hard

she's Portuguese

True... but she was born in BC, Canada. Or am I tweaking

yeah she is lol im just saying nationality is an outdated way of categorizing people imo lol I prefer talking ethnicity over nationality.

Nowadays nationality encompass too many different people under one banner which doesn't truly represent their culture.

She went 6 years after without making another english album. Disappeared from the public eye.

gotcha

Honestly Whoa Nelly was better than Loose anyway

thick

oh my

Wtf

Probably the last time Canada really pushed a good pop artist. She had a 7 year peak

S*** on the Radio
