By the Numbers
Furtado is credited on every one of the twelve tracks and is the sole writer on seven of them, including "I'm Like a Bird". That is unusual for a major-label pop debut, where a first album is normally where outside writers do the most work. Eaton and West, the producers who found her at a Toronto talent show, are the only other names on the record.
Whoa, Nelly! is Nelly Furtado's debut, released in October 2000 on DreamWorks. Recorded in Toronto with Gerald Eaton and Brian West of the Philosopher Kings, it mixes pop with trip hop and Portuguese-language material. "I'm Like a Bird" won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and the album spent seventy-eight weeks on the Billboard 200.
