Nelly Furtado Admits She Doesn’t Know If Her Daughter Enjoys Her Music

Popstar Nelly Furtado said her daughter loves listening to her music, but also admitted she fears she is just being polite.

The musician said she loves being a mum to her 8-year-old daughter Nevis, and it’s obvious Nevis has the same feelings for her Furtado.

Nelly Furtado is currently promoting her new record The Spirit Indestructible but isn’t sure how much Nevis approves of it.

“Maybe just to be polite, just to be in my good books,” Nelly laughed, when asked if her daughter enjoys her music. “She’s eight and humble and chilled out. I try to keep things pretty simple at home.

“I was instant ham – like, ‘Ta da!’ – but she’s not really like that. But if she wants to [get into music] I’ll give her some great advice.”

Nevis Furtado has quite a ring to it too…

The 33-year-old star is still amazed by the effect parenthood has had on her life. She admitted the minute she gave birth to Nevis she felt different.

“It did change me, I started thinking a lot more seriously. You just feel like you’re part of this new tribe,” she told UK TV show Loose Women.

Nelly’s new record takes a look back at her teenage years. She said she enjoys going through different experiences in life as they help her to write her music. Every track she writes is based on an experience she has gone through.

“I wrote this diary on this one vacation to Portugal when I was 16. I think I spent the whole summer chasing this boy,” she laughed.

We’re looking forward to hearing Nelly’s new music, listening to her speak now brings us back to her debut days of Whoa Nelly!…
