Nelly Furtado releases Mi Plan in September

Nelly Furtado is to release her first non-English language album.

Mi Plan, the Canadian singer's fourth solo album, is sung entirely in Spanish and will be released on 14 September.

Released on the same day, the first single will be Manos Al Aire (Hands In The Air).

In a statement Furtado said: "After 10 years recording in English, I hit a wall. I felt this was the moment to make the dream."

The daughter of Portuguese parents, Furtado has also enlisted the help of notable artists for the 11-track release including Grammy Award winning artist Juan Luis Guerra, Alejandro Fernandez and Julieta Venegas.

Mi Plan is the follow up to Furtado's 2006 album Loose.

Furtado has sold over 15 million albums worldwide since releasing debut Whoa, Nelly! in 2000.
