With his latest collaboration, the multihyphenate PHARRELL WILLIAMS is thinking a century ahead.
The week that I’m in Shanghai to interview Pharrell Williams, Delhi is in the throes of a full-on health crisis with the air quality index off the charts; NASA has declared October, the second hottest October in 137 years; and the media is reporting that the Bonn Climate Talks are nearing a somewhat inconclusive end. Though there is some good news with London testing coffee grounds to power buses, the overall outlook for the environment is grim. So when 10-time Grammy Award winner and two time Academy Award winner, wunderkind Pharrell Williams (he’s had numerous billboard hits like ‘Happy’, collaborated with Daft Punk on ‘Get Lucky’ and is also the force behind chart-topping hits like Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’, Justin Timberlake’s ‘Rock Your Body’ and Kelis’s ‘Milkshake’, just to name a few) tells me, “We only have one planet. We live on the third rock from the sun, and we are not doing all we can,” the timing of his most recent collaboration couldn’t be more prescient.
