I find much of Pharrell's work to be quite pointedly derivative. That said, when he hits his mark, he does it quite well. I love this song.

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

Surprised this track wasn't a major hit. It was part of my morning run regime. Don't remember much from Lotus Flower except for 'No Candy 4 U.'

Love the song smile this year was a hell of a comeback for Pharell.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Yeah it was. I'm happy for him. No pun intended. It's always good to see talent win.

Every Pharrell production is essentialy a remix of someone else's song, but the same is TRUE of Prince. The difference there is that Prince mines older and more obscure music for ideas, whereas Pharrell tends to mine things we are much more familiar with. I'm entertained by both guys, but I don't have a lot of respect for their songwriting method.

I don't care for some of the artists he's choosing to produce for these days, but I like the creative roll he's on now. It's almost like the late '90s and early '00s except the Neptunes have more clout to not have to hand out assembly-line beats just for hits anymore
