YES OUR QUEEN

Nelly Furtado is one of those huge household-name major league chart topping popstars who somehow manages to straddle the vast chasm between strange, smart, adventurous and commercially successful (see also: Madonna, Shakira, Utada etc.).

The infectious earwormy but non-earth-shattering lead single from her recent album, "Big Hoops (Size Queens Unite)", failed to hit big but this - this is more like it.

The song opens with a weird hymnal Tori Amos-esque baroque-style keyboard-based confessional moment before blossoming into a huge pop number

Anthemic, odd, structurally unconventional, tuneful, soaring and euphoric. We can't wait to soberly (... ahem) twerk and grind to this with tears of joy streaming down our faces  at a nighttime establishment.
