The latest Portuguese-Punjabi collaboration

Check out these two new Nelly Furtado remixes by Punjabi-Quebeçois group Josh, ‘Promiscuous’ and ‘Maneater (Josh Desi remix)’ off Furtado’s new album Loose.

These are authorized mashups. The second is actually a bonus track on the disc. Furtado grew up in Canada with Punjabi friends and has sung in Hindi. I’m not feelin’ these as much as Josh’s fun bhangra remix of ‘Powerless.’

    I didn’t, I streamed it.

    This particular mashup doesn’t work for me because “Promiscuous” is completely overpowered (I know I’m an idiot for asking, but what is the bhangra tune that it’s mashed with? It’s excellent, but I can’t quite place it). Of course, I don’t mind it being overpowered, since I feel like I have been bombarded with that song everywhere I turn of late. ;)

    sounds like they reused the “chak de” sound from Powerless in Promiscuous. more chak de!
