RUMOR! False information confirmed by Nelly herself. [Updated: April 11, 2016]
"Nelly Furtado is working on new music with Duke Dumont"
"Nelly Furtado is working on new music with Duke Dumont"
Idolator: When asked in a recent interview if there are any singers that he’d like to collaborate with, British DJ/producer said “An interesting one at the moment — we’re doing some stuff in the very early stages — is Nelly Furtado. I love her. With Nelly Furtado, you could write a hit record that would actually be good.”
Dumont continued, “There’s not many artists like that in the pop music world. With other singers, it would be a more generic track. With Nelly Furtado, I think you could actually do something quite interesting.”
First time Nelly Furtado talked about her sixth album in a interview
WAZ: "I'm working on an album and actually I am very pleased. I am writing on this album for quite a while will probably still continue to work this year on it. Finish it will then hopefully next year, or perhaps only in 2016"

Nelly Furtado posted several photos on instagram with a lot of messages.
Possibly those messages are related with tracklist of the new album. One of them is "What Happens In Dallas" (Nelly wrote the same on her twitter's bio) what make us think that's the new album title or the title of the first single.
Nelly Furtado herself said the album is not called "What Happens In Dallas". [Updated: April 11, 2016]

Nelly tweeted that she is "still working" on the new album and "it is not called What Happens in Dallas" and it will be out "soon". Nelly "rewinded back" to Whoa, Nelly! style. She added that she "never even met Duke [Dumont]", so probably there isn't new stuff with him on the new album. When Nelly was asked about collaborations she said "none", "no features planned". At last, we received the confirmation that Nelly's sixth album will be "in English so far".

NEW ALBUM: THE RIDE
Below you can read a summary of all the things Nelly told to i-D about her upcoming new album, The Ride.
- "The Ride" - produced in Dallas, Texas - drops in March 2017.
- Nelly Furtado's new album is still pop, but weirder.
- "The Ride" doesn't have a nostalgic feel, that's why Nelly put "Behind Your Back" out first, becuase it doesn't really fit anything that's on the actual album. Though the song is on the deluxe version of the album. "I think it's almost like a throwback track for me because it sounds a little bit like what I did in the beginning of my career", says Nelly about "Behind Your Back".
- John Congleton produced the entire record.
- "Flatlines" is a new song which will be included on the album.
- "I would call the sound of the album modern pop-alternative. I write pop melodies, I've always written pop melodies. But John forces me to dig a little deeper and make sure that I'm coming correct with the lyrics. I was also in a really cool phase in my life where I was going through a difficult time of transition and that helped lyrically. I just had so much to write about. I think I grew as a songwriter in this album", Nelly said.
- As Nelly said it before "no features at all". There will be any collaboration on the new album.

Pipe Dreams [Audio]
Don't sell me no pipe dreams, I want to live in a kaleidoscope , Nelly sings about the false hope of dreaming even when you want to live in a fantasy. "A lot of [The Ride] touches on that, in terms of sanity versus reality. The comedown, the hangover after the rush, and how you put the pieces back together, and how you make amends with the realer parts of life," she told The FADER.
