Then, when the airplay dwindled, I felt compelled to purchase the album. I have played it, subsequently, more times than I can possibly remember. I love to put the album on while doing housework, or just for ambient music, or to crank it up and just dig the Vibes.

I very rarely enjoy an entire album, and normally only like 2-5 songs on a CD. However, I thoroughly enjoy each and every song on Nelly Furtado's album--the music, the vocals (!), the stories, et al.

I am looking-forward to purchasing her latest album, as well. I've enjoyed the Launchcast videos, as a preview.

Nelly Furtado has a very unique sound--her voice and the amazing fluctuations she can produce are soothing, powerful, emotional and humorous. I can actually see her smile, or grin with sarcasm, etc., as she sings. She obviously poured her emotions into her music. The music, itself, is very catchy. The grooves, vibes and beats stay in my head, lingering afterward. I love this CD.

One of the best debut albums I've ever heard
When Nelly Furtado released her debut album in 2000, critics loved it but that was pretty much it. Then she released "I'm Like a Bird" and people started snatching up this album pretty quickly. Many thought she would be a one-hit wonder, but then she released "Turn Off the Light" and scored another big hit. I bought this CD because I heard "...On the Radio" and decided to finally give her CD a chance.

This album did not disappoint. I was very impressed by how unique and original this album was, considering it was only her first album. Rather than try to sound like others, she crafted her own unique and instantly identifiable style her first time out. Her voice is as cool and different as her music.

1)Hey, Man!: great song to start the album. I love the violin at the beginning.
2)...On the Radio: this is an excellent song. She strikes down all those fake people who like an artist until they start getting famous, so they start hating that artist because they "sold out" and it's the cool thing to do. In this day and age, this song really means a lot.
3)Baby Girl: another great song. I love the chorus and the beat.
4)Legend: good song. This song has a really cool sound.
5)I'm Like a Bird: her signature song. It was overplayed, but it is still as good as the first time I heard it.
6)Turn Off the Light: I love this song. Everything works here. The video was also very memorable.
7)Trynna Find a Way: really cool beat. It has a good feel to it.

8)Party: another good song.
9)Well, Well: the chorus is great. I like this song a lot.
10)My Love Grows Deeper Part 1: good song. I like the line "My love grows deeper everyday and takes a little piece of me."
11)I Will Make U Cry: I love the beginning. I think it's cool she used a language you don't hear everyday in her music.
12)Scared of You: great song. For all those who think she doesn't have a very good voice, listen to this song for proof that you're wrong. It is also a great way to end the album.

I highly recommend this CD. Nelly Furtado blends so many styles of music (pop, trip hop) into this album you can't really put label on it. The only real way to describe it is with one word: fantastic.

Can't live without this album.
Ok, I won't lie. I bought this cd years ago for one song- "I'm like a bird." After I gave the cd a whole listening to, I found that although, "I'm like..." is a great song, it doesn't compare to "Hey Man!" or "Babygirl." I have had 4 people buy this cd after hearing it. The opening violins, to Hey Man, it's just insane. I take this cd everywhere. I can't live without it.

fell in love wit the girl and her music!
shes what started my love of music!
