Review :

A sort of King Midas of the US pop firmament, as one half of hit-making cartel The Neptunes and a founding member of NERD, Pharrell Williams boasts a remarkable track record. Roughly one half hip-hop and one half R&B, In My Mind follows the magic formula that’s seen Williams reinvigorate the careers of everyone from Britney and *NSYNC to Snoop Dogg and Nelly, drawing on music styles as disparate as metal and reggaeton and shaping them together with adventurous effect.

In particular, the marching-band rhythms of "Keep It Playa" and the booming, atonal space-funk of "Can I Have It Like That" - featuring a brief cameo by Gwen Stefani - are startling examples of Williams’ production wizardry.
As an album, it’s not without its flaws : "Our Father" might wash with the God-fearing hip-hop fraternity, but more cynical audiences might balk at the Williams’ assertion that "Jesus is my playa" ; meanwhile a duet with Jay-Z, "Young Girls", shows up the occasional weaknesses of his flow. No matter, though – you’ll buy this for the productions, and without exception, they gleam.

Tracklisting :
1. Can I Have It Like That - Gwen Stefani
2. How Does It Feel ?
3. Raspy Shit
4. Best Friend
5. You Can Do It Too
6. Keep It Playa - Slim Thug
7. That Girl - Snoop Dogg
8. Angel
9. Young Girl/I Really Like You - Jay-Z, ,
10. Take It Off (Dim the Lights)
11. Stay with Me
12. Baby
13. Our Father
14. Number One - Kanye West
15. Show You How to Hustle

Listen ya’ll...Pharrell is the man.Ive had all the albums he has been involved in...all the kelis albums,clipse,nerd,neptunes presents, everything. Some of the beats are a bit rock and shit but he still the best producer out. I never thought he can rap but he isnt the type to rap, he is just the producer. Some of the tracks on the new album do show that he can still spit if not to the level of experinced rappers. If u wana hear a typical beat from him the listen to MY NIGGA PLEASE on JayZ’s Blueprint 2 album.Hes added the square lead to the chorus for anybody out there who knows about instruments and production.

This album is gonna be dope. I cant wait to get it. If you heard his mixtape with DJ Drama you know this album is gonna be good.

Pharrell has always came out with unique sounds and different feelings on his songs whether it was rock , rap or R&B its nothe man has a good taste to his music which is fresh so for those who are looking for something that sounds cheap watered down like the diplomats they shouldnt even try to listen to pharrell because his sound is on a level that most artists cant touch.. And the featured artists on here should do well with pharrell and the beats he drops. The man can rap , sing , rock out , produce, and come out with a cool clothing line and this album doesnt make me think for a second that it will fail or be terrible...He’s never failed us before and i doubt if he will now..

hi pharrell i know your album is going to be real stuff and i think people will be shocked with your album. also beacause you have stated that their are going to be verious artists on this album which makes it hot like fire.i can’t wait to hear an album with your own songs and beats and you my ,love screaming on couple tracks. any thing you bring out music wise is the sh-t rock too. keep doing what you enjoy.

Pharrell is hip hops future, the Neptunes are amazing porducers and this album shouuld be good if its anything like the rest of the stuff they produce.
