The battle is over and Nelly Furtado is giving in to el amor -- el amor por la música latina, that is!

The wait for Nelly Furtado's spicy comeback is coming to an end!  Tune in to MTV Tr3s tomorrow, July 29 to catch the exclusive video premiere for la primera canción off her upcoming all-Spanish album, Mi Plan. "Manos Al Aire" features a military-esque Nelly who decides to end las batallas con su enamorado, cast off all her battle gear (and then some...) and surrender to el amor.

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! And check out the second single off the upcoming album, "Más," now available on iTunes.

Latino swagger isn't just a musical fad...

We are officially a part of grade-A comebacks. Just ask Nelly Furtado. The funk-pop "No Hay Iqual" beauty is launching an all-Spanish album set to drop on September 26th. The Portuguese singer helped put folklore tracks on the pop charts, which means she is no stranger to reinvention. The "Turn off the Light" singer has already received expert advice from Calle 13 and Juanes. Her collaborations with these chicos are still being talked about.
