Nelly Furtado on the 'emotional whirlwind' of weaning

Nelly Furtado recently mused that much of the energy behind her third album Loose came from the fact that she recorded the album the same month she weaned her then 2-year-old daughter Nevis.  Maybe I did feel liberated.  I finally went 'Oh, my body's finally mine again -- yippee!The 29-year-old singer maintained a carefree -- if not exhausting -- schedule at the time.  Newly separated from Nevis' father, DJ Jasper Gahunia -- with whom she splits custody of their now 3 1/2-year-old daughter -- Nelly said her newfound sense of freedom was inevitably relayed on to her record.Breakups are liberating, but then, also, motherhood's liberating...I'd go to the beach till about 8 p.m. with my daughter, then I'd go to the studio with till 4 a.m., then I'd sleep for about three hours.  I went through this weird phase where I was sleep-deprived.  Most of the times it's funny, thank goodness.Source:  Quad Cities Online
