Nelly Furtado shot the funky visuals to her latest banger, "Parking Lot," which is exactly where takes place, and the track is the third single lifted from her just-released fourth English-language studio album, "The Spirit Indestructible," which is shaping up to be the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, and indicative of Furtado's fearlessness when it comes to musical experimentation.The Nostalgic theme song "Parking Lot," is where she revisits the memories of her hometown, as noted by the teenage-like breezy lyrics, with a repetitious boom-boom-clap beat and a horn loop that barely changes throughout the entire song. Said the 33-year-old Portuguese-Canadian popstar: "All my old memories suddenly became crystal clear to me, and I found myself re-visiting my past in a fresh and colorful way, on songs such as 'Parking Lot,' produced by Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins, where I detail good times in my hometown, sort of like my own take on 'Summer of '69.'"
Furtado has been so unpredictable this era. She sings like she's drunk here, intentionally slurring her words and constantly threatening to forget the melody. It should sound messy, but it doesn't. "Parking Lot" is a celebration of the simple moments of adolescence, when you could spend all day listening to music in your car with your friends and not worry about anything else. It's beautifully nostalgic and provoking, like a trippier take on Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."
Reflecting the song's title, the Ray Kay-directed clip features the folk/R&B songstress and her friends hitting a party-filled parking lot and having a great time singing and dancing around with full of customized Mini Coopers including ones covered in fur, newspapers, animal print, and even Christmas lights. The 'Mi Plan' hitmaker dances on top of the cars, cuddles with stuffed animals in the backseat, and busts out some hula girl moves against a chain-link fence. Buckle up for the ride.
