Songstress Nelly Furtado has revealed that she finally feels as though she 'fits in' and her new album embraces the sounds and styles she's been exposed to throughout her career.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Furtado explained that 'The Spirit Indestructible' can be likened to her debut release 'Whoa, Nelly!' because of its "eclectic" appeal:

"I feel like there's more fusion nowadays. This new album is a little bit like my first album and that true eclecticism shines through."

"Now I feel like I fit in a little bit better. When I started out my music was quite eclectic and quite worldly and it had a lot of Brazilian influences and East Indian influences and at the time music wasn't so open-minded as it is now."

Referring specifically to her new record's tracklisting, she added: "It's a friendly punch in the face because a lot of the messages are super positive. There's songs about love and hope and inspiration. There's a song called 'Miracles' about just getting swept away in positivity."

'The Spirit Indestructible' is set to be released in the UK on September 17 and a day later in America. Listen to an album sampler below:
