STAR POWER Pharell Williams We don't know what's more fascinating, the fact that Pharell Williams looks timeless, or his fashion sense, or the thought of him taking over the music industry, (when he puts his mind to it). He has been number one on the world charts with his song "Happy" which went on to be an inspiration for the Coca Cola theme song. Happy was originally released on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack last year, is sat at #1 on the Billboard 100 chart for a couple of weeks and was nominated for an Oscar. And it is featured on his second studio album titled G I R L that was released in March. Pharell is not only a great singer but he is the brains behind a number of great productions over the years (and makes great collaborations, ask Robin Thicke). He and long-time friend, Chad Hugo are The Neptunes, (the production team responsible for most of the hits in the early 2000s). Groove Magazine Zimbabwe 29
