It's been five years since Nelly Furtado last released an album, and it seems like a new project is coming out soon as the singer has been spotted in Colombia, where she's been reportedly recording new songs.
According to Billboard, the "I'm Like a Bird" songstress' only posted two photos on her Instagram account over the past two years, but she's active in her stories where she documents her South American exploration.
It appears that she's working on new music as the singer recorded a few videos from Papaya Studios over the Memorial Day weekend.

The singer is popularly known for her Billboard Hot 100 tracks like "Promiscuous," "Give it to Me," and "Say It Right."
This isn't the first time Furtado collaborates with a Colombian artist, as she already teamed up with Juanes for "Fotografia" in 2002.
She also released her Spanish-language debut album in 2009, titled "Mi Plan," which contained collaborations with artists like Julieta Venegas, Luis Guerra, and Alejandro Fernandez.
The last time Nelly Furtado released an album was in 2017, titled "The Ride." Last year, she also surprised her fans by releasing a 15th-anniversary edition of "Loose" with 12 remixes and bonus tracks that were initially inaccessible on online streaming platforms.
