The upcoming release features ten additional recordings, including three unreleased tracks from the original sessions, two new 2024 cuts, four reimagined versions, and a previously withheld demo following the massive resurgence of hits like “Promiscuous” on social media.
Inside the 28-Track Digital Anniversary Drop
Originally released on June 7, 2006, Loose defied genre boundaries by fusing pop, R&B, electronic production, house, Latin, and reggaeton alongside producer Timbaland. The album achieved massive commercial traction, exceeding ten million copies sold worldwide and generating enduring singles including “Promiscuous,” “Maneater,” and “Say It Right.”
The anniversary package arrives as these tracks continue to dominate modern listening metrics. On Spotify, “Promiscuous” has crossed the two billion stream threshold, while “Maneater” and “Say It Right” have each surpassed one billion streams. The electronic music community has also re-embraced the catalog, highlighted by remix projects from artists such as Deborah De Luca, Adana Twins, Rinzen, and Nala over the past year.
Preliminary listings designate the majority of the bonus material generically as “Track 19” and “Track 20,” preserving the mystery around the unreleased demo and vintage studio sessions.
Revisiting Maneater Through Improvised Piano
The first public preview of the anniversary edition breaks entirely from the slick electronic production of the 2006 originals. “Maneater (RITUAL Version)” relies exclusively on Furtado’s isolated vocals and minimalist piano accompaniment performed by Adam Tendler.
Recorded during an intensive eleven-hour studio session, the take was captured live in a single, largely improvised pass. Furtado notes that the reinterpretations are not designed to replicate the original arrangements, but rather to reflect her current artistic perspective two decades later.

- Original Release Date: June 7, 2006
