Nelly Furtado has released her latest CD entitled Loose and it doesn’t exactly sound like some of her past releases, but it’s a very good collection.

What we’re hearing here is the fact that she is of course growing as an artist. Just as it should happen with a serious artist, her music is clearly evolving.

I developed a liking for her voice and have followed her career since the release of her first CD, Whoa Nelly, which had the mega hit Like A Bird on it.

I’m always curios to see if an artist can duplicate early career success and with the release of this her third CD I’m convinced Nelly Furtado is a performer that will be with us for some time to come.

The CD launches with an outstanding track, Afraid, that will definitely be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It’s a really good song.

In fact overall Loose is an outstanding CD release and is definitely must have music for any fan. I give it my two thumbs up. It’s the kind of CD even casual music fans will love.

The standout tunes on Loose are Maneater [track 2], Promiscuous [track 3], and Say It Right [track 8]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 12, All Good Things. Very nice!

Most of you have probably heard of the RIAA’s quest to crush online music piracy. The illegal sharing of copyrighted songs via the MP3 format over the Internet costs the music industry billions of dollars. This is conventionally done using illegal file sharing programs like KaZaa and iMesh. This article explores the legal ways to download and enjoy music from the Internet.

Method 1: Check out Free Music Sites

There are many free music websites which provide free music downloads. These are not the websites of your music pirates - they are totally legal. Don’t expect to find full albums to download, particularly if the song is from a famous artist (only music pirate websites allow full album downloads). You’ll only find a few “teasers” intended to make you want to buy the artists‘ CD. Independent, less well-known artists are an exception - many of them will let you down their complete song catalog to promote themselves.

Here are a few of the free music websites which I recommend:

• AMPCAST.com

• Amazon.com Digital Music Downloads

• RollingStone.com

• ElectronicScene.com

• The Internet Underground Music Archive

Method 2: Buy Music Online

An increasingly popular way to find and download music online is to head for legal online music services. The most popular of these is the Apples iTune service. Currently it provides over 400,000 songs from all five major labels. Each song is available for a standard price of 99 cents each. Here are the best online music services I’ve come across:

• EMusic.com

• iTunes

• MusicMatch Downloads

• Napster 2.0

• Rhapsody

• Weblisten.com

Conclusion

It is very tempting to use KaZaa and other file sharing programs to download music - but please don’t. If you wrote a song and sold a CD, would you be happy to see millions of people distributing that song for free? No. You don’t have to break the law to find and download free MP3 music. There are many websites out there offering free music - you just need to find them.
