After some rather bad reviews after his live performances in Australian on he back of Future Music Festival, Pharrell Williams has proved however he is the king of production and the king of pop. "GIRL" is a sensational return to smart fun pop, from the massive single "Happy" which has topped the charts globally from the animated hit "Despicable Me 2" and featuring guests from JT to Miley to Daft Punk. Pharrell has got a load of his closet mates on board for this stellar album.
From the classy opener "Marilyn Monroe" and second single you know your in for fun and the duet with JT at track number 2 is pure pop brilliance.
"Hunter" the only new track he did live at FMF is just so funky and ace I love it, a future single in the making and an anthem for clubs across the globe.
"Gush" is also another radio friendly jam whilst tracks with Miley and Alicia Keys actually work which is why Pharrell is the king of production and producing pop gems. He has even recently made a new Kylie tune sound really top notch.
This album for me is just 10 wall to wall hits that will be on my iPOD for a long time from now. He owned 2013, he has started 2014 in a big way with "Happy" all over the radio and reaching number one across the Globe from Australia to the USA to the UK and beyond.
Williams had his name all over the biggest hits of 2013 and I think 2014 will continue to rise of the Williams return to his late 90's early 00's dominance of the charts.
Pharrell "G I R L" deserves nothing more than and album of the year nomination and on Boxing Day he may just take out the big award. Like Haim last year Pharrell is oh so hot right now.
