Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, record
producer and actress. Furtado first gained fame with her debut album, Whoa,
Nelly!, and its single "I'm Like a Bird", which won a 2001 Juno Award
for Single of the Year and a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal
Performance. Her second studio album, Folklore, was released. It was less
commercially successful in the US but produced three international singles:
"Powerless (Say What You Want)", "Try", and
"Força" (the theme of the 2004 European Football Championship). Her
third studio album, Loose was her biggest success worldwide. It produced the
number-one hits "Promiscuous", "Maneater", "Say It
Right" and "All Good Things (Come to an End)". After a
three-year break, she released her first full-length Spanish album, Mi Plan in
September 2009. For Mi Plan, Furtado received the Latin Grammy for Best Female
Pop Vocal Album. Furtado's fourth English-language studio album, The Spirit
