Nelly Furtado feels liberated to sing in Spanish

London: Pop star Nelly Furtado feels re-energised after penning her upcoming album in Spanish as the singer finds expressing in the language, a "liberating" experience.The `Maneater` singer, who was born in Canada to Portuguese parents is set to release `Mi Plan`, her first album in the language, Contactmusic reported.

Furtado said that she found it easier to get close to her emotions in a different language. "I think this album has some of my first true love songs ever. They`re not complicated. They`re not over-intellectualised, and I found it liberating to be able to sing in the Latin language and to express myself from my Latin soul," Furtado said. The `Promiscuous` star made the decision to record in Spanish after touring her 2006 smash hit album `Loose` left her creatively exhausted. "I was physically tired and I wasn`t feeling inspired. It was almost as if I lost my pop inspiration to write in English. I just needed a new outlet, and I found it by writing in Spanish," the singer added. The album, set for release in September, features a range of guest artists, including collaborations with Mexican singers Alejandro Fernandez and Julieta Venegas and Latin hip-hop singer La Mala Rodriguez.
