Nelly Furtado’s 2017 independent release “The Ride” showcases her continued evolution, moving away from the dance-pop of earlier hits toward a more personal and introspective synth-pop sound. The album was largely self-produced, with Furtado taking an active role in its creation after parting ways with major labels.
- "The Ride" was released independently on Furtado's own label, Nelstar Music Inc.
- The album was released seven years after her previous studio album, "The Spirit Indestructible" (2012).
- Songs on the album explore themes of personal struggle, healing, and self-discovery.
