You have to admire Nelly Fertardo. Despite her latest album, Spirit Indestructible, selling a shockingly low 6,000 copies in the States during its opening week- not to mention the poor performance of its first three singles- the eclectic songstress is still pushing the project, releasing the Darkchild produced Waiting for the Night as single numero cuatro.
With a new single comes a new promo, and having watched it, it's inspiring to see that Nelly isn't putting any less effort, or creativity, into her visuals at this sagging point in her career. In her shoes, I would have resorted to a "lyric video" made, for free, on my bundled "Movie Maker" software, and then cried thinking about Loose, all while it was being (poorly) rendered... But Nelly's spirit is indestructible, and it's a good thing too, because Waiting For The Night -with its energetic production, Latin/folk/electro medley of styles and somewhat tempered vocals (read: LESS NASAL)-is a hoot, and deserves as big a push as the album's lead single, Big Hoops (Bigger the Better).
If fact, Waiting for the Night has single handedly turned me back on to Spirit Indestructible! I just hope it'll do the same for others who haven't yet picked it up.
