The new remixes will celebrate Women’s History Month
Nelly Furtado will share new remixes in celebration of Women’s History Month. The remix series officially kicks off with the release of “Say It Right (Deborah DeLuca Remix)” and culminates on March 28th with “Maneater (Nala Remix),” with two more remixes of “Say It Right” released in between. Reinventing and recharging two of her iconic smash singles, she notably recruited an elite cohort of global producers, Deborah De Luca, Rinzen, Adana Twins, and Nala.
Each respective remix adds another dimension and perspective to the original. Italian DJ, producer, and Solamente Records label head Deborah De Luca infuses the track with a jolt of European techno energy, tailoring it to the club. Los Angeles producer and DJ Rinzen amplifies the song’s energy and expands its scope with cinematic ambition. German producer and DJ duo Adana Twins stretch the soundscape of “Say It Right” with deep house textures and rhythms. Finally, Miami-born and Los Angeles-based artist, producer, DJ, and Mi Domina label owner Nala injects attitude and spirit into “Maneater.”
“Say It Right” notably appeared on Nelly’s chart-topping triple platinum-certified third full-length album, Loose, in 2006. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, earned a quadruple platinum certification from the RIAA, and garnered a Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Female Vocal Performance. Speaking to its enduring impact, it has amassed over 757 million Spotify streams and counting. The music video has impressively surpassed north of one billion YouTube views.
“Maneater,” the third single from Loose, written by Furtado, Jim Beanz, and its producers Timbaland, and Danja, bursts with the high-energy spirit of the 1980s, blending bold rock and synth-pop influences. Drawing inspiration from Hall & Oates’ song of the same name, the single quickly became one of Furtado’s biggest hits. It soared to the top of the UK charts and landed in the top ten across much of Europe and Australia, and ignited dance floors across North America – where it claimed the number one spot on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 20 on Billboard’s Pop 100.
Last year, she unveiled a special vinyl reissue of her debut, Whoa, Nelly!
