The star singer and producer started working together more than 20 years ago, and their hits are still coming.
The original version of "Turn Off the Light" was one of Furtado's biggest hits at the time, and it was a crunchy blend of folk-pop with a sprinkling of a hip-hop groove. However, when Timbaland and rapper Ms. Jade jumped on a remix, the song was injected with bouncy beats and reassembled into a club-ready banger. Stripping away the ominous hums at the beginning of the song might seem like a small change, but it shifted the vibe of the track and made it lighter.
"I remember being a bit shy to put it out," Furtado told the Fader, of the song. "That was probably the content, the fact that it's called 'Promiscuous.' I hadn't done anything wrong but women are always judged. I've since changed my mind about that. By the time 'Promiscuous' came out, I was super happy. I always felt like the male and female voices were equals.
