Random Access Memories , Daft Punk’s first non-soundtrack album in eight years, might be the biggest release of 2013 (not counting what Kanye might have in store). It’s also a humongous album, clocking in at over an hour and with several tracks breaching six minutes in length. This is a production that sounds like it broke the bank, but it a sincere enough musical send up to feel intimate and crafted. Random Access Memories is not Daft Punk's strongest songwriting effort (that honor may always belong to Discovery ), nor does it represent a progressive leap from what the [...]
Blurred Lines has already been out for a while in the States and, on its release next week in the UK, is poised to be one of the party anthems of the summer. The production is typical of Pharrell, who’s enjoying something of a renaissance at the moment between this and Get Lucky. Sparse yet funky, with Prince-esque vocals from Thicke and Michael Jackson “WOOs”, the beat is fun and sexy and reflects a foray into mainstream pop territory for Thicke. [...]
![[Listen] Pharrell Williams' new 'Despicable Me 2' featuring track, "Happy"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4964383_lg.jpg)
The never aging Pharrell has been pretty busy lately, what with him featuring on the new Daft Punk album. You may remember way back in 2010 , Williams was behind the soundtrack to the movie, Despicable Me , and now the sequel is about to be released, it appears he's contributing music to that too. The Despicable Me 2 soundtrack is set to be released in just under a months time on June 18th. The film will hit cinemas in the US on the 3rd of July with an [...]
Listening to Pharrell's the new song "Happy" should make the day better. The producer/artist is back with the Despicable Me franchise to score the soundtrack to the animated film's sequel. P contributed three tracks of his own – including one titled "Scream," which features Cee Lo Green. The Despicable Me 2 soundtrack will hit the streets on June 18th, while the film will arrive in theaters on July 3rd. [Rolling Stone]
Thanks to his star turn on Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" , public interest in a new solo project from Pharrell is no doubt peaking in the red right about now. Smartly looking to use that record's worldwide-crushing momentum to his benefit, the distinctive-voiced hitmaker has issued out another goodie in the form of "Happy", one of three tracks he has contributed to the June 18th-due Despicable Me 2 Soundtrack. A sunny burst of clap-happy soul that further showcases Pharrell's well-established love for the retro in its channeling of names like Ray Charles and [...]
Pharrell dialed into smooth '70s disco with Daft Punk on two Random Access Memories tracks, " Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself to Dance." But for his new solo track, "Happy," Mr. Williams digs back a little bit further, to the '60s. The result is a soulful, catchy little jaunt reminiscent of Cee Lo Green 's recent work – all handclaps and singalongs and retro pop simplicity. "Happy" is off the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, which Pharrell co-produced with composer Heitor Pereira (Pharrell also helmed the music for [...]

Pharrell is staying busy this year. After making one of the best songs of the year with Daft Punk, he's got the the Dispicable Me 2 soundtrack coming up on June 18. Pharrell partnered with Heitor Pereira for the production on the soundtrack, and he'll also have three original songs on it. Here's one of them that [...]
It's no secret that Pharrell's been borderline unstoppable lately. Think about it. He's on every single "it" song of the moment, and it doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon. He's on arguably the biggest hit of 2013 in Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." Not far behind is Robin Thicke's, ... Read More
Despicable Me kicked ass for many reasons, one of which being Pharrell 's awesome music. A sequel is on the horizon, which also features musical contributions from Williams. With the soundtrack dropping June 18, we are blessed with one of the single cuts, "Happy". And if this song doesn't make you, well, happy, then I don't know what will. Give it a spin below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Among all the new releases this week, it's hard to escape the one from Daft Punk . Their new album, Random Access Memories, is the first by the band in eight years. The 13-track record begins with a bang via its track "Give Life Back to Music", a funky, 702s-inspired song with trademark robot-style vocals. Shoulder-swaying and ethereal with strummed electric guitars, the song feels like an early Michael Jackson single mixed with the electronic auto-tuned Daft lyrics. Memories features guest artists like Pharrell Williams and The Strokes' Julian Casablancas. The new album from the [...]
Sick of hearing "Get Lucky" already? Check these cover versions for a new take on the song of the moment.
Helloooooo there Laidback Luke! The seasoned producer just dropped this massive remix of 'Blurred Lines', in which he brought back his classic old funkier electrohouse vibes. This one is best played loud.
Our five favorite covers of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," including strutting rock, delicate folk, and a dance jam that sounds like OLD Daft Punk.
Robin Thicke 's got a stone-cold hit on his hands with "Blurred Lines," thanks in no small part to the relaxed raciness of the music video. And his appearance on The Voice . Oh, and having Pharrell and T.I. on the track certainly helps, too. But also, it's just a really good song! And doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when an actual good song is successful?! Anyway, Thicke brought Pharrell along for a performance of the single on The Ellen DeGeneres Show [...]

Daft Punk: Random Access Memories - It seems like that for the past 7 or 8 years the whole landscape of popular music has been trying to cash in on the Euro-House aesthetic that Daft Punk created. The most obvious example would be Kanye West sampling 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger', but you can see the influence everywhere. Will.I.Am even convinced the Biebs to sing a few bars of Daft Punk for one of his latest singles. Yes, everyone has been trying really hard to sound like Daft Punk, except for Daft Punk apparently. For better or [...]
LA producers Bixel Boys are back at it again, re-opening the vault for their glitzy new remix of Robin Thicke's delicious "Blurred Lines." The duo kept the core of the song while transforming it from a dance-between-the-sheets track to a dance-floor appropriate model by adding some shrill highs and a quicker bassline. The result is another disco-leaning remix from the Boys, who seem eager to corner the market . Warning: Topless models and sheep sold separately. STREAM: Robin Thicke - "Blurred Lines (ft. T.I. & [...]
