BEST SINGLES 2006 #9. Whether you preferred the more adventurous 80’s revival of “Maneater”; the mellower frustrated duet with Chris Martin on “All Good Things” or this explosive, ultra-slick R&B track, a revamped Nelly Furtado ruled the global airwaves throughout the year with a bunch of excellent and diverse pop singles in which the true star was producer Timbaland at the peak of his powers. There are more singles to come: the Belinda Carlisle-like ballad “Say It right”; a duet in Spanish with Latin star Juanes and even some reggaeton. If only the rest of the album wasn’t so patchy….  shazam

In times where the charts rarely show the best music available, it’s no small surprise that a record has got both commercial appeal –number one in the US for ages- and critical acclaim. The revamped Nelly Furtado delivers her finest moment to date in this Timbaland produced urban classic: High-octane sexed-up lyrics and a vocal duet between singer and producer, with the later displaying the best of his music trickery. Single of the year?  shazam
