Nelly Furtado: 'I don't always make the best career choices'

'Try' songstress Nelly Furtado has, once again, addressed the low sales of her latest record and admitted that she still sees her career as more of a hobby.

Speaking to Gig City about the reception of 'The Spirit Indestructible', the hitmaker explained that she doesn't "always make the best quote unquote career choices" and because of her laid back approach to being a recording artist she feels her sales figures have suffered:

"That's the price you pay for being passionate about music and refusing to believe it's your job all these years. It's just still seeing it as a hobby. My poor manager. He's suffered many grey hairs because of it. I'm just really hard-headed and I just do what I want to do. Some people come along, some people don't."

'The Spirit Indestructible' shifted less than 2,650 copies in its first week of being on sale and she was recently forced to scale back her tour due to low ticket sales, and she added:

"I've made my hobby into a career, but sometimes I still look at it as a hobby so I don't always make the best quote unquote career choices. But I enjoy it every step of the way, which I think is the most important thing."
