Hot Video Alert: K’Naan featuring Nelly Furtado – Is There Anybody Out There

    K'Naan Is There Anybody Out There
    Is There Anybody Out There” is a beautiful song, co-written and performed by Somali-born rapper K’naan from his EP, More Beautiful Than Silence.  Featuring Canadian singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado on the hook, “Is There Anybody Out There” was released digitally on January 24th and peaked at #15 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart.  Here in America, the song peaked at #30 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart and at #10 on Billboard‘s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.

    Check out the touching Chris Robinson-directed video below, filmed in and around Toronto, which chronicles the daily lives of two down and out teenagers – one struggling with self esteem and cruel judgement of her peers, the other struggling with drugs and an absentee father.  I have to say, I wasn’t expecting just how much hearing Nelly Furtado sing again would make me excited for her forthcoming album and single.
