To describe Pharrell Williams as cool doesn’t even come close. In fact it’s insulting. This guy is seriously freaking out my mind. Aside from all the obvious stuff, like yeah he’s a babe and yeah he wears awesome hats to awards ceremonies … but it’s more his midas touch with quite literally everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Care for an example? Ok I will.
Exhibit A / His latest song, Happy. This was written for the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. I’m pretty sure the last time a song written for an animated children’s movie was this popular was back in 1994 when Elton John wrote the tear jerker ‘Can you feel the love tonight?” dedicated to Simba and Nala’s crazy love for one another. Safe to say… Happy is in a league of it’s own.
Exhibit B / ARTST TLK. The dude is smart. I only recently discover Williams’ series of interviews called ‘Artst Tlk‘ featuring a whole bunch of interesting people and most importantly, interesting questions. Loved this Henry Rollins one, but heaps more to check out…
Exhibit C / He can skate. And he co-sponsors a skate team with Reebok called Ice Cream Skate Team. No biggie.
Exhibit D / Blurred Lines. If Pharrell Williams was NOT involved in this song, it would just be a creepy older white guy with stiff hair and glasses…
Exhibit E / Male modelling career? Tick.
Exhibit F / And last but not least, his dude just will not age. Look out 2020, baby face is coming at ya!
What a man…
