It's been a while since she gave us hits like "Promiscuous" and "Maneater", or if you wanna get nostalgic, "I'm Like a Bird", but Nelly Furtado's new album... called "The Ride"... is out next week. Nelly had no idea how unintentionally hilarious this album name is for Irish people but when she was informed in a recent interview, her reaction was awesome.
In an interview with the Irish Times, Nelly was told "The Ride" has a slightly different meaning to what she maybe had in mind.
"Oh, God. What does it mean?” she asked.
"A ride is what we call a very good-looking person and when we want to know if someone hooked up, we ask ‘Did ya get the ride?’, said Louise Bruton, the journalist.
“You say it like that? You say, ‘Did ya get the ride last night?’ ‘Did ya get the ride?’’
"Oh. I . . love that. That’s why Ireland is so cool. Oh my God! I am thrilled. That’s the best news I’ve heard! Oh my God, I am doing the tour just in Ireland. We can take this far.”
"The Ride" is an independently-released, alternative pop album with indie undertones and won't be like her previous RnB or folk releases.

“These new songs just tumble out of my mouth and they just feel so natural to me. It’s a stylistic thing, I realise. Just the nature of writing. I wrote a lot of these songs in my living room . . . . In my living room, on my guitar after cleaning the floors. And I used to write songs in the Ramada Hotel cleaning the floors when I was 18,” she said.
Nelly, you're a huge ride.
