Nelly Furtado has revealed that she is eager to work with British electropop duo La Roux.

The 'Say It Right' singer, who released Spanish-language album Mi Plan this week, admitted that she wants to experiment with dance on her next record.

"I love La Roux and I'm there for a collaboration. It would be fun," she told the Daily Star.

"It's fantastic how popular dance music is right now and I'd love to do something more dancey in the future.

"It would be something natural for me to do because I started out in trip hop and dance has always been part of my music."

Furtado went on to explain the reason behind her decision to record her latest effort entirely in Spanish.

"I had English writer's block so I decided to make an album in Spanish," she said.

"I played the album to my daughter and she said to me, 'Mummy, there are too many slow songs. You need more fast songs'.

"So mummy went back to the studio and put a couple more fast songs on the album. She's like a little A&R person and is pretty musical for her age."
