Having crafted hits on Beyonce’s recent album, it appears the singer’s surprise approach has rubbed off on hitmaker and friend Pharrell Williams.
For, not only has the Neptunes frontman announced the title of his hotly anticipated LP, he has revealed that it’s coming in a mere matter of weeks!
Details after the jump…
Williams had made no secret of the fact that he was crafting an album, which will serve as his first under new label Columbia/Sony Music.
However, few could have predicted that the set – which he revealed in the video below is titled ‘G I R L’ – would be hitting stores so soon.
Led by blockbuster hit ‘Happy’, the project – which is Williams’ first solo effort since 2006’s ‘In My Mind’- will arrive globally on March 3rd.
Peep the cover and announcement visual below…
Before being christened with a name, ‘G I R L’ was already earmarked as one the year’s most eagerly awaited albums – following the Grammy winning success of Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ and, of course, the chart phenomenon of Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’. Both of which were PW productions.
With that, TGJ wants to know…
Yes Pharrell!
old KWEEN, sure you dont wanna call it BOY?
Lol Yes girl.
This should be interesting to see if the public is checking for his solo record with little-to-no promo/buzz. Def not gonna pull a Beyonce but he’s on a roll lately!
Pharrell don’t age a bit! Must be some damn good genes i guess. I love that happy song.
He’s an amazing artist im ready for tje slayage.

Damn ..Ashanti can kiss her album sales goodbye
Yass pharell sis!! So here for it
wtff YASSS
PreOrdered! Can’t wait to hear this…
It will outsell Mariah!!!!
Happy’s gonna be one of the biggest songs of the year. If he follows up with a big second single. This album will probably be one of the biggest surprise sellers of the year as well.
OK! Pharell is really doing it! Happy is my favorite song right now.
That David Bowie impact though! Ever since David released his surprise album one year ago, so many people have copied him. First Beyonce and now Pharrell.
