The Spirit Indestructible

The Spirit Indestructible is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. It was released on September 14, 2012, via Mosley Music Group and Interscope Records. Created over several years with a variety of producers including Salaam Remi, Di Genius, and Darkchild, and inspired by personal growth, global travel, and experiences such as her trip to Kenya, the album is eclectic, blending hip hop, R&B, dance, rock, and drum and bass, and thematically explores nostalgia, empowerment, and spirituality, Furtado served as the executive producer for the album as well as a principal writer.

The Spirit Indestructible failed to replicate the success of her previous English-language album, Loose, due to poor promotion and minimal chart impact of the album's singles. In the United States, The Spirit Indestructible debuted at number 79, selling almost 6,000 copies in its first week, which represents a considerable drop from her previous album, Loose, which debuted at number one with 219,000 copies. In her native Canada, the album debuted at number 18 selling 2,700 copies in its first week.
