By the Numbers
Furtado is credited on all twelve tracks and served as executive producer, so the album is hers on both sides of the desk. The reviews that called it uneven were describing the production, which runs from Rodney Jerkins to Di Genius to Rick Nowels; the writing is as consistent as it is everywhere else in her catalogue.
The Spirit Indestructible is Nelly Furtado's fifth album, released in September 2012 on Mosley and Interscope. Built over several years with Salaam Remi, Rodney Jerkins and Di Genius, it mixes hip hop, R&B, dance and rock. It debuted at number 79 on the Billboard 200 and produced "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)".
