Info zu G I R L

Pharrell Williams prägte das Chart-Jahr 2013 wie kein Zweiter: als Sänger, Produzent und/oder Songwriter war er entscheidend an den weltweiten Millionseller-Nummer-Eins-Hits des Jahres beteiligt: 'Get Lucky' (Daft Punk) und 'Blurred Lines' (Robin Thicke).

Für den Animationsblockbuster 'Ich - einfach unverbesserlich 2', der hierzulande Anfang Juli anlief und drei Millionen Zuschauer in die Kinos lockte, steuerte er eine Handvoll Songs bei, darunter den Song 'Happy'. Extrem große Aufmerksamkeit erfuhr das Stück im November, als Williams ein aufsehenerregendes 24-stündiges Video zu 'Happy' im Internet veröffentlichte. Mit der Single feiert der vielfache Grammy-Preisträger gleichzeitig seinen Einstand beim Sony Music-Label Columbia Records.

'Als Columbia Records mir anbot, ein Album zu veröffentlichen, kamen mir sofort drei Dinge in den Sinn“, sagt Pharrell. „Allen voran fühlte ich mich unglaublich geehrt von der Tatsache, dass das Label Interesse hatte, gemeinsam mit mir das Album zu veröffentlichen, von dem ich immer geträumt hatte. Zweitens: es sollte sich festlich und aktuell anfühlen. Und drittens wusste ich sofort, dass es G I R L heißen soll. Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch.'

„Der Überproduzent ist zum großen Disco-Soul-Pop-Meister gereift.“ (Rolling Stone)

Pharrell Williams
is a creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy and multi-instrumentalist in Virginia Beach back in the early ’90s, through enough hits to earn him Billboard’s Producer of the Decade in 2010, to his current status as multi-media superstar, Williams has never stopped creating. Starting his producing career as one half of The Neptunes with Chad Hugo, Williams has helped create such classics as Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Jay-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me),” Britney Spears’s “I’m A Slave 4 U,” and Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You.” With over 100 million copies of his productions sold, his music sounds like something no one else has thought of just yet. He’s also created a new way of looking at established stars like Snoop Dogg, Madonna, and even the Rolling Stones.

Over four albums, Williams and Hugo along with Shae Haley created an unpredictable hybrid as part of the alt-rock/hip-hop group N.E.R.D. The music industry has honored Pharrell with 7 Grammy Awards (including 2004’s and 2014’s “Producer of the Year”) and ASCAP’s prestigious Golden Note Award in 2012. He also received a 2014 Academy Award Nomination for his original song “Happy” featured in the animated film Despicable Me 2. “Happy” remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks, peaked at #1 on iTunes in 103 markets worldwide, and is the lead single off of his new album “G I R L.”

Pharrell’s second solo album “G I R L” was released on March 3, 2014 to rave reviews. His prolific body of work also ranges from designing a sculpture with Tokyo-born artist Takashi Murakami to accessories and jewelry for luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton, to t-shirts for Japanese mega-brand Uniqlo, to adidas sportswear and to the forthcoming perfume collaboration with Comme des Garcons.

Pharrell’s work in the humanitarian field is an extension of his humble success. In 2008, he founded From One Hand To AnOTHER (FOHTA), a foundation focused on supporting the Pharrell Williams Resource Centers’ learning programs for underserved youth in at risk communities across the nation. This past March Pharrell partnered with the United Nations Foundation to celebrate the International Day of Happiness inspiring individuals all over the globe to demonstrate their unique “happy.”

Now, with his latest venture i am OTHER — a multi-media creative collective that serves as an umbrella for all his endeavors, including Billionaire Boys Club & ICECREAM apparel, textile company Bionic Yarn, bike company Brooklyn Machine Works, the music creation platform UJAM, and a dedicated YouTube channel — Williams’s vision continues to push pop culture forward. This fall, Pharrell will continue to spread this vision and happiness as he heads out on a 25-date “Dear G I R L” tour across Europe.
