Tony Duncan, Nelly Furtado and others
Grammy-award-winning Canadian music artist
Nelly Furtado is rolling in later this month with a brand new single called “Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)” and while we initially weren’t entirely sure what it was all about, when Nelly was spotted
high atop a pair of stilts in downtown Los Angeles shooting her new music video for it, well needless to say we got very excited. Nelly
tweeted “The higher the better!” as she wobbled her way down the sidewalk actually and given the title of the song, the stilts, her outfit, we were thinking the circus had to be in the house, and if
that was the case, could the big hoops and hoopers be waiting in the wings? Given the cover art we weren’t entirely sure, it looked more like an earring, and her
recently tweeted photo had us thinking otherwise. But then Nelly also tweeted a photo saying she was honored to be working with World Champion Native American Hoop Dancer Tony Duncan and his family – who is collaborating with her on what is destined to be one of the big hooping songs of 2012, no matter how you slice it. The track, produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, is the lead single off her first English language album in six years, and is set to be released later this month. The new album, called T.S.I. which stands for The Spirit Indestructible, will be hitting the stores on June 19th. Check out the Big Hoops cover and a mini interview with Nelly about the new album below:
