is Say it Right by nelly furtado a remake? who sang it originally?

Answer 1

Say it Right is not a remake, it's something Nelly and Timbaland came up with together....All of her songs are written by her or with the help of other songwriters.

She is a Canadian singer-songwriter, instrumentalist and record producer.

"Say It Right" is a pop-R&B song written by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Nate "Danja" Hills for Furtado's third album Loose (2006).

The process of creating the song began in the recording studio one morning at around 4:00am, when Timbaland recommended that Furtado go home because she was tired. Furtado, who had heard that the band U2, one of her favorite artists,[citation needed] wrote many of their songs in the studio control room, said "Really? I'll show you", put on her hoodie and began to "jam".[2] Nate Hills and Timbaland soon joined her, writing and producing as they went, and according to Furtado this process intensified as she sang. The team used four microphones in the live room and moved them around during recording, about which Furtado said "...when you listen to it — there's a lot of dimension. It kind of sounds like [Timbaland]'s in another country".[2] Afterwards they picked the best vocals and "perfected" them, before inserting "reverbs and weird alien sounds" onto them. "[W]e experimented a lot with depth and different sounds", Furtado said of the making of the song. "[It] affected my vocals a whole lot."[2]
Furtado has cited the "spooky, keyboard-driven pop sound" of the band Eurythmics, particularly their song "Here Comes the Rain Again" (1983), as an influence on "Say It Right" and other tracks on Loose. "I'm not 100 percent sure what ["Here Comes the Rain Again"]'s about, but it always takes me away to another place, and I love it", she said.[3] She said that she does not really know what "Say It Right" is about, "but it captures the feeling I had when I wrote it, and it taps into this other sphere."[3] The song is written in F minor.
Billboard called the song "a Pussycat Dolls-inspired contempo jam, high on hooks and of-the-moment production. Well done, if in the most generic sense."[4]
