'Fly Or Die'



This album was my introduction to the producer extraordinaire Pharrell, who before this was just a name associated with the production team of The Neptunes. 

Honestly, couldn’t be less impressed. Expecting a bombastic hip-hop record, I got a rock record, which sounds eerily like Lenny Kravitz. The rock record was one thing. Sounding like Kravitz was quite another (Kravitz himself has a guest vocal on the album).

It’s not until the recently released Daft Punk single “Get Lucky” that I saw that Pharrell actually had a little soul. And he didn’t even need to learn to play the drums to do it.
