Pharrell Williams Confirms New N.E.R.D. Music Is On The Way "This Is Like That Feeling That I Felt When We Made In Search Of..."

Pharrell Williams has a lot of things in the works and for fans of his group N.E.R.D. there is some exciting news he just revealed.

During a recent interview with GQ, the superproducer dished on all he has going on including serving as the newly appointed Men’s Creative Director at Louis Vuitton, and revealed that he is in the studio working on new N.E.RD. music.

The interview which was conducted by Tyler The Creator, was done several months ago and Pharrell revealed that the group had recorded 12 new songs while he was in Paris.

He also revealed that the sound they are bringing this time is very similar to the group’s debut album ‘In Search Of…’ from 2001.

Check out a snippet of the convo below.

P: What’s going on man?

T: Livin.’ Waitin’ on you, man. Not like for this call, like waiting for the new shit that was supposed to come out ages ago. You playin’.

P: No, I’m not, I’m not, I’m out here in Paris, I just ended up doin’ twelve N.E.R.D records.

T: Can’t wait man!

P: Listen, you’ll have something to ride to. I mean, look, like I told you, they’re big choruses, but you know, out of nowhere, I’ll just come out of nowhere with the three-bar, crazy-nuts chords that go three-bar to four-bar to eight-bar. It’s good bro, it’s good. This is like that feeling that I felt when we made In Search Of…[2001]. I won’t sit here and tell you that they were hits. I knew it was different, and I knew there won’t be nothing out there like this. But I’m talking about the feeling. I wanted to do everything. I wanted feelings. I wanted the motherfuckin’ great composition. I wanted great chords. I want to use chords I never used before, and not just the dreamy ones. The ones that I’ve never done, that I fuckin’ hated. But using them in ways to get to other chords where the changes are such a release. And then, lyrically, the harmonies here…all the songs just have rainbow harmonies.
