Nelly Furtado is going down an alternative route with her new music and so far it’s really working. and Her latest drop from her forthcoming record The Ride is "Cold Hard Truth", the funkiest, most upbeat cut we’ve heard from her in a while.

“Islands Of Me” was one of 2016’s biggest surprises, while “Pipe Dreams” proved Nelly’s hazy, alt-pop credentials. Her winning streak continues with new single, “Cold Hard Truth,” which sounds like a cross between “Maneater” and one of the breezy, organic ditties from Folklore. This is all about the crunchy synths (surely a nod to the diva’s iconic partnertship with Timbaland) and fierce delivery. You can stream it below On Spotify.
