A labor of love ... but still: a star deduction for the disappointing remixes

With their fourth album Mi Plan is Nelly Furtado fulfills a wish: songs only in Spanish. As MANOS AL AIRE first single was chosen and this gives a little insight into the forthcoming work. Nelly sings herein about a love full control. One of the lovers is so extremely dissatisfied, but can not love one another as the person throwing to have extended without arms, hands in the air as a sign of impotence. Thus the song strikes thoughtful tones. Fans reminded of the time before Nelly's last Megaseller LOOSE that made them rise only in the league's first-class pop singers. Because just like the songs on the melancholy tinged FOLKLORE provides MANOS AL AIRE no conventional radio music shows. But the verses are too bulky, the guitar accompaniment one iota too hard. Only the chorus incites to hum along. This shows that Nelly is once again put their hearts into. It makes the music that she likes and she is confident and that you can hear in my opinion, in every sung syllable. The listeners will thank you with the fact that the song has already boarded on various download portals the top. Thus MANOS AL AIRE is ultimately yet become mainstream. Nelly Furtado has thus earned the title of Ernst to be taken interpreter honestly. Who else can a song that so obviously different from the rest of the pop world sounds as exotic and stands on its own as well sell? Yes, I'm a big fan of this down to earth remained singer and not just since today. One can only hope that the upcoming album Mi Plan can artistically and commercially MANOS AL AIRE connect to.

For CD-single: The highlight is really the original version of the Spanish song. The remix comes to mind rather disappointing because it seems very unimaginative and one-dimensional. I speak consciously only in the singular, since the Robbie Riviera mix was pressed in three versions on the disc. Once a short radio mix, then the extended Juicy Mix and then as an instrumental version. Since the real instrumental of famous version would have been much more desirable. But if I have to because it does still the Juicy mix of the best remixes.
