celeb news Nelly Furtado speaks on creation of 'Maneater': "We knew it was something special"

[naval23]

 

The fact her team killed this on radio and it didn't even make top 20 on Pop radio despite being a top 10 digital smash because her label wanted to make room for "Say It Right" to smash in the winter

Oh I absolutely loved this song as a kid. Used to watch the video on early Youtube all the time.

[NOW]

To this day, Maneater outro is legit one of the greatest things I've ever heard. It deserved to properly smash on pop.

Her taste.

[Dula Peep]

I always thought it was a response to the Hall & Oates Maneater song… 

[Breathe On Moi]

it is kinda killing me they're talking about it like some grandiose composition piece of music  a bop of its time for sure!

If we're talking about pop songs released this century, it kinda is!

The transition from "I'm Like A Bird" to songs like these

haha true but fwiw this album was EVERYWHERE at the time - even the non singles (or non US focused singles) were seen as big. 

[TinashesLighter]

i remember way before Loose came out, i had heard the demo to Maneater and i was obsessed. Like I was more hyped over Maneater than i was over Promiscuous !! To this day that song still does something to me.

I agreeee. I love ha and I love the song don't get me wrong, just I expect this type convo to be for I'm Like a Bird etc lol. 
 

ima go give the song a stream now obvi tho 

[nostalgic]

Promiscuous, Say It Right, All Good Things, Do It, In God's Hands >>>

 

Personally, I didn't care much for this one; it was pretty underwhelming. I wish Afraid had been one of the album's many singles.

I remember Maneater & Promiscuous coming out in different territories both as lead singles. In the UK, Maneater was first and was a huge #1 hit.

[dumbsparce]

Maneater could come out today and it'd still sound fresh, perhaps even fresher today with how sterile pop has become. To me, it's definitely one of the most revolutionary pop songs of the millenium.

[Da Vinci]

Is it just me or was she kinda serving Avril being interviewed  Must be a Canadian thing

[Walk_Away21]

It still sounds fresh AF

[Twizzy]

I never appreciated this song and would always skip it but something clicked in me one day and I realized it's actually the best single off the album  the smash that got away, the video is so hot too. She was serving dark visuals and sweaty greasy dancing before Britney Rih or Gaga

Well yes! 

[Bussea]

overrated af. but still a bop

[jomarr]

Say It Right doesn't even make sense tbh. Maneater is one of the best pop songs of the 2000s.

[Lasso]

is there any particular reason for the furtado revival? i've seen her give SO many interviews recently. i know she has a new album out soon, but it seems like her promo budget is huge. did she change labels or smth?

 

(on topic: maneater is good, but i like promiscuous better)

I still have PTSD from it 😂😂

[ThePopStop]

Well, Say It Right went #1 so her label made the right choice. 

[DEGUOM]

Give us Maneater 2.0 pls
