Nelly has had a stellar year so far - her album Loose has gone platinum and she is now the proud owner of a Brit award for Best International Female Artist... She's just finished a sell-out UK tour and is on the road in Europe for the rest of March before heading back to her motherland of Canada for further tour dates there.Though the download free-for-all unleashed at the start of 2007 allowed many singles to hit the Top 10 in advance of their physical release, or to to remain there after the CD had stopped selling, only a very few managed to reach such heights without any physical formats in existence at all, and this was the first. Already the fourth hit from the Loose album, it shares with the preceding track the contribution of Timbaland as co-writer, producer and in this case backing vocalist. Oddly enough, the booklet here lists his writing credit under his real name rather than the stage name.
This wasn't a song I liked much at first, though I must admit there's something remarkably infectious about the chorus. I'm still not sure whether that very spacious echoey chorus is a help or a hindrance and Timbaland's mumbling is irritating after the first few seconds, but as a song that doesn't pretend to be revolutionary it's actually a decent enough song. It's a pity you never seem to hear this one anymore, it'd make a change from the overplay of her couple of more remembered hits.
