Nelly Furtado comes close to quitting every time she releases an album as she longs to return to university.

The Maneater hitmaker is back in the spotlight with the release of her fifth record The Spirit Indestructible, her first since 2009, but the singer admits she is eager to escape the music business and go back to school.

She tells Popjustice: "It's scary at times. I literally want to quit after every album.

"After every single album that I've made, I go through this six-month period where I think I want to go back to university and write a book. It happens every time, but then I just get on with it and make another album and go through this rebirth process, I guess."
