"Nelly Furtado has said that she is &amp;quot;quite proud&amp;quot; of her upcoming album The Spirit Indestructible. The album will be Furtado&amp;#039;s first English language release in six years and is being produced by the likes of Bob Rock and John Shanks. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Furtado revealed that she was determined to take her time with her fifth record. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been about two or three years in the making, but usually when you spend that much time, it ends up being something you&amp;#039;re quite proud of,&amp;quot; Furtado said. Furtado went on to say that her extended hiatus from recording helped revive her creative spirit. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s important to take breaks between albums, to live life and experience things, because my albums are so personal,&amp;quot; she explained.  &amp;quot;The album sounds, though, incredibly fun, and it&amp;#039;s sort of a juxtaposition of a lot of things - playful vocals with really heavy beats. There&amp;#039;s this innocence with this sort of wisdom.&amp;quot; Furtado unveiled  &amp;#039;Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)&amp;#039;, the album&amp;#039;s first single, in April. The Spirit Indestructible is released on September 11 in the US and September 17 in the UK.
