We loved her in the early noughties with songs like I'm Like A Bird and Promiscuous.

And now Nelly Furtado is making a comeback.

The 38-year-old is back after a five year break from the music. Her last album was in 2012 with The Spirit Indestructible.

Nelly said that her new album, The Ride, comes from meeting her lifelong musical inspiration, St Vincent, while at a festival in Japan a few years ago.

She told the Herald Sun: "I am such a huge fan so I was so pleased to see her name on the bill and that she was playing the same stage.

"And then she comes up to talk to me and I'm like 'She knows who I am!' We're in my dressing room and I'm feeling like a dorky, lame pop star in front of a rock star."

We can't wait to hear the full album.
