Daft Punk among guests stars joining Pharrell on new album
After the Pharrell fronted Get Lucky and Lose Yourself To Dance were breakout tracks on Daft Punk’s Grammy winning Random Access Memories, they are returning the favor. Pharrell held a listening party yesterday for his forthcoming album Girl and The Line Of Best Fit was there:
“Gust of Wind” is Pharrell’s “personal favourite” song on G I R L, and he likes it so much that he plays it twice, excitedly jumping back to the start before the first play-through has even finished. He tells us that this one features “the robots,” and that the punchy offbeat guitar comes from a young Canadian prodigy called Francesco Yates. It begins with zigzagging strings, and then that unmistakeable vocoder voice wraps itself around the climbing bassline and pumps mightily, nigh-on unintelligibly through the chorus. “Mothership Other cannot go away” sings Skateboard P, repping his new iamOther creative collective.
Other guest stars on the album include Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus.
