Nelly Furtado - The Grass is Green

Nelly Furtado
The Grass is Green

Well, since she is now back and the darling of the TRL set once more, let's take a look at Nelly Furtado. Or rather at one of her older, singles, because at this point you can't get anyone to shut up about her current album (which I like, but I think is weaker than her sophomore album, Folklore).

The Grass is Green was a decent enough release, but the magic of this single is the B-sides, in this case 2 non-lp version cuts...well, one is magic, the other is a bit of a parlor trick. My Love Goes Deeper is a soulful, mellow track that would have been better than the version that ended up on the actual album. Party on the other hand, sounds more like a good quality demo, but falls a bit short of the mark (especially the inane breathy bits about 4 minutes into the cut).
