Along with featuring in the song itself, Pharrell co-wrote it and produced it as part of The Neptunes. Billboard even named it the most popular rap song of the decade. This song was Snoop Dogg’s first number one hit, and Pharrell’s most popular performance at the time.
Neon Hitch – Drop It Like It’s Hot (Snoop Dogg and Pharrell cover) Hear No Evil hold their own with the falsetto. The addition of a prominent hi-hat in this cover adds to the distinctive opening groove and replaces the original’s handclap percussion throughout. This album brought us the huge smash hit “Happy” along with this song, which features background vocals from Miley Cyrus and Tori Kelly.
Pharrell wrote and produced every song on his second solo album, Girl. Hear No Evil – Come Get it Bae (Pharrell cover) Tomorrow we’ll take a look at covers of songs you may not have known Williams was involved in. Today we’ll focus on Williams as a performing artist, letting others wish him a belated “Happy Birthday” through covers of his performances. (Nobody Ever Really Dies) that continued to put out music through 2017. He briefly formed Surrounded by Idiots with Hugo, Timbaland, and Magoo, and was part of a group called N.E.R.D. The duo were signed after a high-school talent show: the American dream!Īlong with a long-running producer career behind the scenes, Williams also feels comfortable in the spotlight. (That will become relevant in other posts coming to Cover Me later this week.) Hugo and Williams formed the production team The Neptunes in 1994 and are still working together today.
The two were even childhood friends with Timbaland. His longest-running collaboration is with Chad Hugo, whom he met in middle school. Williams wears many hats (both literally and figuratively) he’s a songwriter, a record producer, a singer, a rapper, and even a fashion designer.
Yesterday, as he was serenaded with a “Happy Birthday” song, Pharrell Williams turned 47 and clapped along, feeling like a room without a roof (or so I imagine).
