Nelly Furtado Introduces Her Fritz Helder & The Phantoms
Last Friday, Nelly Furtado introduces her Fritz Helder & The Phantoms at the group’s CD release party at Mr. Black in New York City. The album, named “Greatest Hits! Platinum Edition,” is released on Nelly Furtado’s new Nelstar record label.
Hosted and introduced by Nelly Furtado, Toronto-based Fritz Helder & the Phantoms - comprised of lead singer Fritz Helder, sporting a Dorothy Hamill haircut, keyboardist Diego Superstar and his exaggerated eyelashes, the fabulous Pastel Supernova and guitarist Silk Helder - put on a raucous set of 11 songs. Right off the bat, you can’t deny their comparison to the Black Eyed Peas simply because of the make-up of their band members (3 multi-ethnic guys and a hot girl). But these guys really have their own thing going on. Loved their style, music, and syncopated moves.
Nelly Furtado launches her own record label
Nelly Furtado has launched her own record label in a bid to lend a helping hand to hopeful musicians.

Nelly Furtado has already signed up a Toronto-based electro-pop quartet ‘Fritz Helder and the Phantoms’ under her newly launched record label.
“I’ve been thinking about a way to help Fritz Helder for a while and this venture grew out of my love for the band, their art and their work ethic. I am as committed as they are to bringing their creativity to the world,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
“We love Nelly and this new partnership is a very exciting opportunity for us. It’s empowering to work with a combination of people who believe in our project and are willing to help us see it through,” remarks Fritz, the group’s main vocalist.

AND WITH SONG TITLES LIKE “PROMISCUOUS” AND “MANEATER”, SHE’S ALREADY EMBRACING HER INNER BISEXUAL STEREOTYPE
Nelly Furtado Portuguese-Canadian singer Nelly Furtado–who broke out in 2000 with hit singles “I’m Like a Bird” and “Turn Out the Light”, and whose new album, Loose, has already produced the hit singles “Promiscuous” and “Maneater”–was recently asked by Genre magazine if she was attracted to women, to which she gave this response:
“Absolutely. Women are beautiful and sexy. It is interesting, because I’m reading a book about Chinese medicine, which claims that people are inherently bisexual to balance their energies. And, in a way, that makes so much sense. As humans we have both male and female energies. I believe in Kurt Cobain’s statement that, in the end, everyone is gay. Everybody should have the freedom to experiment. I believe sexual experimentation is part of human history.”
