LOOSE!

2006-2007: Loose

She named it Loose after the spontaneous, creative decisions she made while creating the album.

Four lead singles were released in different regions of the world:

_the Spanish reggaeton-influenced "No Hay Igual" (featuring Calle 13),

_the hip-hop "Promiscuous" (featuring Timbaland), for which she won a 2006 Billboard Music Award for Pop Single of the Year,

_the Latin "Te Busqué" (featuring Juanes)

_the pop single "Maneater".

In this album, primarily produced by Timbaland, Furtado experiments with sounds from R&B, hip hop, and 80s music.

She categorized the album's sound as punk-hop, described as "modern, poppy, spooky" and as having "a mysterious, after-midnight vibe... extremely visceral". She attributed the youthful sound of the album to the presence of her two-year old daughter.
