With ‘Happy’ still a chart, airwave, and viral phenomenon, it’s easy to forget that Pharrell Williams has other songs on the track’s housing album, ‘G.I.R.L’. Songs that he’s actually (been) releasing.

A delicious slice of Electro-flavoured-Soul/Pop, the track reunites the Neptunes star with his ‘Get Lucky’ comrades Daft Punk. The result? A musical explosion that excites us in earnest.

Today’s gale-force brings with it the visual for the cut. As ever, with Pharrell, it’s an edgy affair. Check it out below…
