Nelly Furtado looked sensational in a sassy clip shared to her Instagram to promote her new single Electric Circus on Thursday.
The songstress, 47, is releasing the catchy tune after quitting performing following cruel body shaming attacks.
Furtado cut an edgy figure as she slipped into a black strapless leather dress which showcased her gorgeous curves and ample cleavage.
Completing the look with shades she slicked back her dark locks and accessorised with sheer gloves and statement jewellery.
The stunner oozed confidence as she mimed to the music and captioned the post: ‘Electric Circus X @boi1da is out Friday!’.
Five months ago she stunned fans when she revealed she would not be performing anymore.

The songstress, 47, is releasing the catchy tune after quitting performing following cruel body shaming attacks
She said that while she’s grateful for her career – which began 25 years prior with her debut album Whoa, Nelly! – she feels it’s time to ‘step away’ to focus on ‘other creative and personal endeavors.’
The Grammy-winning music artist didn’t directly mention body shaming in her post.
‘Thank you for the ride,’ she told fans, adding that while she’s stepping back from live performances, she’ll ‘always be writing music.’
In January of last year, Furtado revealed the extent of the body shaming she regularly receives over her 5ft2in frame not staying as slim as her early 2000s heyday.
‘This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way,’ the Color Theory composer – who boasts 13.7 million social media followers – wrote.
‘My New Year’s message for 2025, is express yourself freely, celebrate your individuality and know that it’s perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror and it’s also OK to want something different.’
It comes just days since the songstress glammed up to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during Sunday’s Juno Awards
She wound up losing the pop album of the year trophy to Tate McRae’s So Close to What, but she delivered a rousing speech for her CMHF induction.

‘I’m literally a product of the Canadian dream. Canada’s always cared about art. Canada’s always cared about culture. I’m a product of that,’ Furtado said onstage.
‘I’m just really proud to be Canadian. I live in Canada. I make my music in Canada. And I work with Canadian musicians, songwriters and producers because I totally believe in the Canadian dream. Please believe in it, too.’
Canadian rapper-singer Drake resurfaced, virtually, to honor the Victoria-born belter: ‘I’m here tonight to pay my respects to one of my favorite human beings and one of my favorite artists of all time, Ms. Nelly Furtado.
‘As a Canadian born in Victoria, British Columbia, I could only imagine that we shared the same wild dream of making it out. The difference is while I was still dreaming, I used you as my motivation and proof that it was possible.’
Furtado got to relax in the audience as artists like Lido Pimienta, Tanya Tagaq, Shawn Desman, Jully Black, Kardinal Offishall and Alessia Cara performed a medley of her hits over the years, including her 2000 breakout single I’m Like a Bird.
To coincide with her CMHF induction, the Shapeshifter singer’s career will be honored with a new exhibit running through February 2027 on the fifth floor of Calgary’s National Music Centre featuring her costumes, childhood ukulele, teenage songwriting pages and trophies.
