I fear her retirement is final this time  :'( @karma police@naval23@Electric Youth

Nelly Furtado, the Grammy award-winning singer, is to become the latest international music star to reap rich rewards from her catalogue by striking a deal with a venture backed by Blackstone, the private equity giant.

It will be the second acquisition struck by HSM since Blackstone announced in November that it was going into partnership with Merck Mercuriadis, founder of the London-listed Hipgnosis Songs Fund.

The first deal was agreed last month with the estate of the late Leonard Cohen.

It's sad to see the private equity buyout trend happen to an artist who peaked less than two decades ago.

The thing is the deal probably is more now. Her hits clearly have staying power, and when investors see that songs are things listened to 20 years later the price shoots up.

Yeah, she's retiring. Good for her, though.

She could try with music but I fear she lost her drive and ready to move on. 

Good bye, Nelly, you were a 2000s icon with your debut album and Loose. 

Good luck and I love you.

Only 50M? Folklore alone is worth more than that since is has Try, The Grass Is Green and Childhood Dreams

Merck Mercuriadis' Hipgnosis Song bought Shakira's catalogue in 2021 and they are re-releasing her entire catalogue on vinyl.

Taste, love those songs. She deserves to get even more. Even though it seems like a good deal to me idk, she is retiring in peace

At this point just give me unreleased collections consisting out of recording sessions of her first 3 albums and I would be happy :jonny:

I can't even remember the name of her last album. It was that bad, I fear. :rip:

Although, it's sad that TSI didn't work because it was a good album.

Her masters were rumored to be destroyed in the Universal fire, so if there are any vinyl pressings, they will have to be taken from the CD.
