Nelly Furtado encourages songwriting to newcomers

 Nelly Furtado insists that upcoming artists should write their own songs if they want to make a positive impact in the music industry. The singer told Associated Press that many newcomers simply rely on platforms such as YouTube to be discovered instead of focusing on their own writing talent.

 She explained: "Write your own songs - even if you don't end up using it, it shows you what you want to say and you get in touch with what you want to say and who you are as an artist. I think nowadays everybody feels like they can become a star just because they're on YouTube, but that's not the only part of the equation. There's a lot of hard work that goes with it and if you don't have the chops to back it up, it's gonna to be more challenging later on."

 Furtado stated that, when she was starting in the music business, she had to fight with her label to be true to herself and trust her own instincts. She recalled her first video shoot for "I'm Like a Bird": "I fought to wear those shell-toe Adidas runners and [to wear] my hair back and those hoop [earrings] and the big jeans - I had to fight for all those things. You have to brand your image and wear what you want to wear and feel how you want to feel because people are seeing you for the first time."

 Interesting thoughts! How do you feel about Furtado's advice to younger artists?

Nelly Furtado releases new video

  Nelly Furtado is back with a greatest hits record and she has released a video for her brand new song, "The Night is Young". I'm still not feeling the song though and the video looks kinda cheap. After her excellent album "Loose" I believe Nelly can do so much better. Check out her new video above! Thoughts?
