On the new album, Nothing.
“We wanted to make it like a lifestyle. Lifestyle music. [And] girls can get freaky to it.” Also, somehow: “Most of the album is like the Doors meets America.” (He's not joking, we don't think.)
And why hasn't N.E.R.D. ever found the kind of chart success Pharrell and Hugo have repeatedly helped others achieve?
“I always go too creative on myself,” Pharrell says, “and subject my band members to my wanting to forge the new path. For pop, there’s a process. It’s got to go through so a 6-year-old can get it like a 60-year-old. Our album now, if you fuck with N.E.R.D., you will love it, but it’s different juxtaposed to your average pop act, like your Jay Sean. It’s just too real.”
