Nelly Furtado rewrote album to please daughter

London: Singer Nelly Furtado rewrote her album to please her daughter. She axed several ballads from the album after her five-year-old daughter urged her to put "more fast songs" on the record. The Canada-born singer recorded her new album "Mi Plan" at home and paid careful attention to the advice she was given by Nevis - her child with husband Demacio Castellon - while deciding the final track listing, reports a news website.

"I had the English writer`s block so I decided to make an album in Spanish. I played it to my daughter and she said to me, `Mummy there are too many slow songs. You need more fast songs.` So mummy went back to the studio and put a couple more fast songs on the album. She`s like a little A and R person and is pretty musical for her age," said Furtado. IANS
