Nelly Furtado has two major styles: rough and sexy, and deep and soulful. While her last single, "Big Hoops," she went rough and sexy, this time though she's all emotional. Once again she's taken her familiar style but still kept it fresh.
"Spirit Indestructible" is a deep song about inner strength, yet it's the way that it's delivered that makes it so powerful. It starts with smooth vocals and easily slides into a powerful song. The chorus begins with the line, "I have the spirit indestructible," which just sounds so majestic it's easy to imagine something soaring through the sky.
The song continues to build, while still maintaining it's tender feel. It never turns into a dance song, yet it adds in drum beats and chanting to build up the power. It reaches its climax as Nelly sings, "Look at me, look at me, take me away." It's a dignified sound that feels quite real.
Uplifting songs like this have been overdone lately, but it's nice to have one that seriously feels like it means exactly what it says. This isn't a song telling you to cheer up because you were born this way, it's saying
"I am strong." There is a clear connection between the speaker and the lyrics which is what gives it such a powerful effect.
Despite "Big Hoops" being a great song, it failed to achieve success. I feel like "Spirit Indestructible" should succeed, but I said the same thing about "Big Hoops." I'm really hoping it becomes a hit though, because it would be a shame for such an amazing song to go by unnoticed.
