ALBUM "WHOA! NELLY" IS A MUSICAL RECIPE CRITICS ARE CALLING A POP VERSION OF BECK. AND HER PASSIONATE, HONEST SONGWRITING HAS DRAWN COMPARISONS TO ARTISTS LIKE MORISETTE AND FIONA APPLE.
PROPELLED BY HER DEBUT SINGLE, "I'M LIKE A BIRD," NELLY FURTADO'S SUCCESS
HAS COME QUICKLY. SO FAST THAT SHE WAS INVITED TO PERFORM WITH ARETHA
FRANKLIN AT DIVAS 2001.
Nelly Furtado sot;
"I'm trying to kind of absorb it. But everything's happening quickly nowadays. So all I try to do is kinda live in the moment."
POP QUEEN ANASTACIA MAKES CATCHY DANCE HITS WITH STRONG SOULFUL VOCALS.
THOSE VOCALS HAVE BROUGHT HER SOME LOFTY COMPARISONS.
Anastacia
"R&B qualities and Gospel tones and Aretha, Tina comparisons...I find it very hard to put myself in those categories, but you know, I understand
them and accept them."
ANASTACIA'S DEBUT ALBUM "NOT THAT KIND" WAS JUST RELEASED IN THE US IN
