Nelly Furtado is sticking close to her multi-cultural roots and exploring creating music and lyrics that are laced with Portuguese and Spanish. Although Furtado has always been influenced by her background and experimented with Portuguese influences and Spanish lyrics in her 2003 Folklore album and her 2006 Loose project, she is now jumping into both languages with two feet and has proclaimed that she is diving full force into the language and music.

“I am currently recording two new exciting albums- one in Spanish and one in Portuguese,” Furtado reported on her website on Tuesday. “Stay tuned and I will give you a sneak peak really soon.”

The 30-year-old mother of one, who married Cuban sound engineer Demacio “Demo” Castellón last July, has also dabbled in acting. She’s appeared on the One Life To Live and CSI: NY televison shows and had a role in last fall’s film adaptation of the Max Payne video game, as chartattack.com reports.
