Crossover Alert: Nelly Furtado's New Spanish Album "Mi Plan"

Nelly Furtado's already well-known among Latinos for collaborating with Juanes on "Te Busqué," Calle 13 on "No Hay Igual," and of course for smash hits that transcend language como "Promiscuous" and "Maneater."  Pero ahora, la cantante portugués is gearing up to release un nuevo album completamente en Español.

The album, titled Mi Plan, is due out sometime in September and will feature 12 all-new canciones en Español, including the first single, "Manos Al Aire," as well as some interesting collaborations (we're excited to hear que una canción will feature Latin Grammy winner Julieta Venegas and La Mala Rodriguez!).  "Manos Al Aire" has been making a splash este último mes y el nuevo video para la canción will be premiering on MTV next week.  Make sure to keep it locked to Tr3s to catch the video premiere on Wednesday, July 29th!

Wondering what prompted Nelly Furtado to release an album in Spanish?  According to la cantante, she feels "very free, alive and romantic" cuando canta en Español or her native Portuguese.  See what else she had to say about her crossover album by watching her special mensaje below!
