Nelly Furtado, the Canadian Grammy-winning artist, has made a triumphant return to the dance music scene with her latest single, 'Love Bites.' Collaborating with Swedish pop sensation Tove Lo and British producer SG Lewis, Furtado has crafted an upbeat, club-ready track that resonates with her renewed passion for the dancefloor.[1]
The song's lyrics explore the theme of moving on from toxic relationships, with Furtado's powerful vocals delivering lines like "You've got the devil in your eyes, so I'm not going to waste all of my ... time on you."[1] This sentiment is brought to life in the visualizer, which depicts Furtado and Lo dancing together, as if immersed in the club scene, while Lewis is seen driving a red car with the duo atop it.[1]
Reconnecting with the DJ Community
In her press statement, Furtado expressed her excitement about reconnecting with the DJ community, stating, "I felt the pull of dance music once more. DJs have been remixing my songs at concerts, in clubs, and on social media. I've come to understand that people crave the chance to dance and lose themselves in the music, and I'm thrilled to contribute to that experience."[1]
This sentiment is echoed in the anticipation built by the artist trio on social media, where they have been sharing snippets of the catchy tune for several weeks leading up to its release.[1]
A Collaborative Effort
'Love Bites' marks a significant collaboration for Furtado, who has previously worked with artists like Juanes and the duo of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. For Tove Lo, the track follows the extended cut of her album 'Dirt Femme,' released last year, which featured tracks like 'No One Dies From Love,' 'Borderline,' and her collaboration with SG Lewis, 'Pineapple Slice.'[1]
In an interview with Rolling Stone ahead of 'Dirt Femme's' release, Lo shared her enthusiasm for working with Lewis, stating, "We just really click. I just love writing with him."[1] This chemistry is evident in the infectious energy of 'Love Bites.'
With 'Love Bites,' Nelly Furtado has successfully tapped into the resurgent dance music scene, delivering a track that promises to be a dancefloor anthem for the summer.[2] As she continues to explore new musical avenues, fans eagerly await the possibility of a full-length album from the iconic Canadian artist.[4]
