Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado and rap rock band Gym Class Heroes are set to perform in Manila for the first time on August 16, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado burst into the music scene in 2001 with her debut album Whoa, Nelly. The first single, “I’m Like A Bird”, earned Furtado her first Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her second album Folklore, released in 2003 included the hit singles “Powerless (Say What You Want),” “Try,” and “Forca,” which was used as theme song for the 2004 European Football Championship. Her third album, Loose, produced the chart-topping hits “Promiscuous,” “Maneater,” “All Good Things (Come to an End)” and “Say It Right”. Loose is her most successful album to date, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and certified multi-platinum in several countries. She is set to release her fourth English-language album The Spirit Indestructible in September under MCA Music. "I was in a great headspace, feeling refreshed and ready to really deliver in English again. This album is all about positivity, youth, good energy, and the relentlessness of the spirit. I want people to live this music the way we did when we wrote it. I want them to jump, dance, scream, laugh, cry, love, and vibe to it, and to turn it up very loud everywhere.", Furtado stated.
