Nelly dropped a remix of “Maneater”, alongside Lil Wayne, which is featured on a Timbaland project entitled “Remix & Soundtrack Collection” (2007). Indeed its sound is based on popular 1980s’ music in general. In fact, Nelly Furtado’s song was directly influenced by Hall & Oates’ Maneater, but it is not a cover of that song. And both of those artists also worked with Nelly in penning the lyrics, as did Jim Beanz.Īnthony Mandler directed the music video to Maneater.įor those who may find the name of this song familiar, pop duo Hall & Oates did drop their own hit track entitled “ Maneater” back in 1982. The production of this track was helmed by legendary musician Timberland alongside his sidekick, Danja.
Moreover it was certified Platinum in three countries – including the UK – and charted in 25 nations overall. This is the third single from Nelly Furtado’s multi-Platinum album “Loose”. The song itself was a notable hit, topping the UK Singles Chart as well as Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart. And this marked the only time Nelly topped the UK Singles Chart ( as the sole headline artist) during her heyday. The song is clearly about a woman who just wants to be with men who will give her what she wants, a pimpette if you will.
