Nelly Furtado certainly knows how to promote her music. The singer used her edgy style and curvaceous figure to grab her followers' attention when she plugged her new single, "Electric Circus," on Thursday.
The 47-year-old looked phenomenal in a strapless black dress that featured a voluminous skirt and leather panel detailing.
The eye-catching dress exaggerated Nelly's killer curves, and she added a rocker edge with a leather jacket worn off her shoulders, sheer gloves, sunglasses, and statement jewelry.
"Electric Circus X @boi1da is out Friday!" she captioned a clip of herself miming along to the track on Instagram.
While Nelly is enjoying a career resurgence and releasing new music, she revealed late last year that she has decided to "step away" from performing live.

"In the first slide I am 20 years old, about to play my first show as a professional artist at Lilith Fair. I went down to a store called 'Original' on Queen West in Toronto and shopped for that pink dress and some sparkly platform shoes to perform in. It was so meaningful and my artist self felt so actualized."

"In the year 2000 I remember feeling purpose in hoping some kid would dust off the Whoa, Nelly! vinyl one day in a record shop and think it was cool or inspiring, so I never could have guessed that there would be so many new ways to discover 'old' music in 2025!
"To have so many people rediscovering my music has been surreal and joyful. It's been so fun embracing this opportunity, getting out on stages again and seeing up close the true lasting power of good music. It's made me really believe in magic."
Nelly then announced her plans to step away from music to pursue "other creative and personal endeavors" for the "next phase of my life."
She concluded: "I'm grateful for all the years of fun, community and wonder. Endless gratitude to anyone who has ever listened and vibrated with my music and attended any of my shows. I love you and your open hearts. The second slide is me in Berlin this summer finally understanding what receiving flowers means. Thank you and goodnight!"

"Why do all good things come to an end?!" wrote one, while another added, "25 Years later and you are STILL as ICONIC as Ever." A third chimed in, "Is this a retirement speech??? Noooooo!!!!!"
