Nelly Furtado and The Beaches are igniting some major 2000s nostalgia.

In a video posted to TikTok, the Canadian singer-songwriter brought the Toronto rock band on stage to perform “Maneater” during her set at Sziget Festival in Budapest. The track is one of Furtado’s major hits off her 2006 album Loose.

Earlier in the day, Furtado shared an Instagram story from backstage of The Beaches’ performance, writing “Canadian Gold” and tagging the band.

Both artists are on a festival run — most recently, Furtado is hitting the European circuit of fests, while The Beaches had a full-circle moment at Montreal’s Osheaga last weekend.

During Sziget Festival, the other artists representing Canada at the six-day festival are pop singer Shawn Mendes, electronic artist Caribou and Vancouver producer-DJ Raven.

Thelma & James Search for an ‘Alternate Ending’ on the Billboard Canada Country Airplay Chart

A couple of weeks ahead of the country duo — singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge — performing at the inaugural Boots and Hearts West, their new track arrives at No. 45.

Country duo Thelma & James are dreaming up an “Alternate Ending” on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts. Their latest track debuts at No. 45 on this week's Canada Country Airplay chart, dated Aug. 15.

It's a tune that finds a couple pondering how their lives would be different in an alternative universe, one where they aren’t together. Still, “Alternate Ending” flexes a natural chemistry between singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge. That’s probably because in real life, Porter — who hails from Alberta — and Etheridge are happily married, hot on the heels of their first tour as a duo.
