Pharrell Williams’ stellar contributions to Pop music seem to be unappreciated by fans of the Pop superstar Ariana Grande who are now begging her to cut creative ties with him.
Find out why below…

Williams worked closely with Grande to shape the sound she delivered on her last album ‘Sweetener’ but faced criticism from fans who say said sound wasn’t strong enough to pull in mammoth sales figures.
Today, after learning he is to work on its follow-up, they have taken to Twitter to revolt.

Their feeling is that Pharrell (the brain behind hits launched by Britney Spears, SWV, Azealia Banks, BLACKStreet, Gwen Stefani & Kelis) struggles to churn out bangers for Grande.

Fortunately, these remarks were matched by….
Very, very late to the party, but some of this music on Ariana Grande – Sweetner is properly dope. Pharrell doing mischievous things to those boards in a way that most cannot.

ariana grande stans are actually dumb.
they literally think “thank u, next” was a better song than “get well soon” or any other song pharrell produced on sweetener.
they have no taste what so ever it’s literally astonishing.

‘Sweetener’ opened with 231,000 album-equivalent units in the United States and has sold over 100,000 units in the United Kingdom to date.
unpopular opinion but y’all just hate pharrell producing the songs, because what he comes up with doesn’t sound like generic pop/ariana’s usual sound. what he creates is very dreamy & ariana’s aesthetic to a t. perfect fit for the album, really.

I actually am not a fan of Ariana Grande but Thank You,Next actually made me purchase this track!!??♂️
And what does this piece of info have to do with anything? No one asked you.
?????
Miss Danyiel Mcfraud always trying do be relevant, I haven’t read the article here about Nicki but I’ll bet when I get there the first comment will his! ???
Fan bases these days care more about numbers than they do about whether their “idol” has any talent!
I agree, I loved everything on sweetener except the Pharrell tracks. They just weren’t for her.
Actually Borderline with Missy was nice though and the only track I like off the entire album
I AGREE BORDERLINE WAS THE BEST TRACK FROM THIS ALBUM AND SWEETNER WAS SUCH AN AMAZING ALBUM. Her fans don’t know good music from the hole on their asses what idiots they are!
she needs to work with whomever crafted IMAGINE & THANK U, NEXT.
the direction of these two tracks is where this next album should be traveling.
PERIOD.
Agreed. I think that song writer and producer did much of this next album.
I don’t think it was just Pharrell. I feel like on Sweetner she had more creative freedom so it wasn’t as serious as Dangerous Woman. Either having a high profile producer adds credibility to your album. She got another Grammy for it.
Actually my fave songs from that album was produced by Pharrell are they kidding me Blazed , Borderline and Get Well Soon were all amazing records ?the problem was she barely promoted the album ugh
I eventually grew to like them. I didn’t realize he produced get well soons. I do like that. But the light, borderline and blazed I felt was too much of a departure from her sound and they were just throwing everything on the wall and seeing what sticks.
I get it was new pastures for her sonically but it worked imo even that song R.E.M. was a fan fave at one point so I don’t get the backlash all off a sudden…I’m actually piqued to hear what they’re gonna do this time around tbh
Clearly her fan base likes her to sound the same, over & over. The Sweetener album is what made me LIKE Ariana & her “new” sound. But all these kids want is generic, mainstream music that’s recycleable & could be performed by anyone without talent.
I agree with you ?. Her fan are a bunch of kids who want the same generic s***. IMO Swewtener was her best body of work.
What?? Breathin, Rem, The Light, Blazed, Borderline, Successful, Better Off…. EVERY SINGLE ONE of those songs could’ve been performed by most female singers. It seriously does not take any kind of exceptional talent to perform those songs. And those are just the ones I felt like naming. The majority of Sweetener is that way. How hard is it to go, “flip it twist it mix it and mix it blah blah blah”? The sound of sweetener was different from what she has done before (even though I think it’s her worst album), but that album was far from inventive, original, or special. There’s nothing there most others couldn’t have done.
Agree 100%
#stopthehate! Pharell is extremely talented, what am i missing! Let these genius artists do what they do best! Thank you, next! Literally.
Let’s set the album aside. Bytch needs to act like an adult instead of a thirteen year old t***. Her image is borderline creepy.
im glad someone finally said it…
her last album didnt do wel cuz Mac Miller stans knew not to support this bish after her selfish af break ip led to his s******….. it was karma; not Pharell’s genius that led to mediocore numbers…
