The Montreal-based band Josh made headlines when they were chosen to collaborate on the Nelly Furtado song Powerless, and now the band is back again with a follow up to their last album Mausam which was released in 2006.

They spent the five years in between performing on the road all over the world, which left them little time to get into a studio and perform a new album. They did work on their music continuously,though, and have recorded about 25 songs over that time of which eight have been selected for a new album. Band member Rup says that the new album has a very modern vibe, with some unique sounds and simple Punjabi lyrics as well. Though the bad has released three albums, their most famous song still remains Powerless.

Nelly Furtado and Timbaland are all over the papers now as they got sued by a Finnish Label and get a $20 million charge against them. In 2009, Finnish label Kernal Records Oy sued them, charging them with copying certain parts of their song for the hit song, "Do It". And now Miami Judge, Edwin Torres upped the charges against Nelly Furtado and Timbaland from $10 million to $20 million and tossed and removed charges.
Kernal Records claims that their song called "Acid Jazzed Evening," was published on Australian disk magazine Vandalism News and published on the internet in the year 2002 and that Nelly Furtado and Timbaland stole the elements. According to Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's spokesperson Kernal was trying to get away from the main aspects of the Copyright Act. The U.S. laws state that the songs published on the net are to be protected by copyright laws. But Kernal did not get his song registered which he was required to do. Looks like Nelly Furtado got out of this one.

The Nelly Furtado song "I'm Like a Bird" is about how much she values freedom, and how that keeps her away fro m commitment. In the song, she is warning a guy that she could fly away at any time. In an interview with MTV, Furtado spoke about the meaning behind the song.

She said that on first look it appears to be a love song, but then someone told her that she should have featured homeless people in her video. And she thinks that made sense, because the idea of the song is about being a nomad and liking to wander a lot. She says this reflects the restlessness she often feels. In an interview with The Metro newspaper in 2006, Nelly was asked what her favorite bird is. Her replay was a crow, because they like shiny things and she is the same way at the mall. She said she is attracted to things that glitter and shine.
