As for this album, especially the song Happy.
Worth mentioning a compiled 24 hours. Video, where you can see thousands, strung together, a short clip of the song Happy fans from around the world, who himself "happy" filmed.
May have a proof how much magic, power and music.
The same holds true for the song of Michael Jackson "They Do not Care About Us", which has arisen in 1991 after becoming public knowledge assaults by police to a black man, and the first version of this video (the Prison, Prison Version was) censored and not sent. Generally, only the "seemingly" less provocative video version in the favela in Rio De Janeiro known.
Music has the power to bring and the power of people together, to inspire them to generate ideas and if it sometimes "only" as in the case of Happy, the common expressed, worldwide joy of so many feel to be "happy" shows.
Well, who likes it on this planet probably be who has not heard the famous song Happy far from this album at least once?
Anyway, as long as access to electricity and there is consumed in some way music.
With Happy Pharrell is a real coup. Rarely in recent years such a mass-market pop earworm heard of yet does not sound the same after a typical mainstream, this is so delightfully fresh and uncomplicated, but well thought out from the package, do not get bored, though so often heard, because you just can not turn passes.
And the same also applies to all other songs of this album, even if some reviewers here reproach Williams remained at his success Happy and has been linked to it.
Yes and.
In the basic recipe of this album that may be true, but to get the songs with refined ingredients all have their own whistle, without being the same and boring.
For me personally one of the best pop albums of the black in recent years. One song after another, easy, fluffy, vibrant, a little melancholy and sentimentality, with a transparent warm sound. A bit of 70s, 80s, a bit of R & B, a bit of funk and soul in a modern guise, inspiring and warm.
Others may place him differently. Even if he is in the charts, he shall personally for me out of the mainstream.
Even divorce as so often with very present musicians the spirits. That was when Michael Jackson way. Some, like me, who see him as one of the most brilliant artists, and others who represent exactly the opposite side.
When Pharrell Williams, it is similar to what the show reviews.
Ultimately remains music taste, even if the supposedly best arguments are ascended for or against an Album.
Music is ultimately through the abdomen, heart and soul, which are knitted times now each time differently.
For me personally, you can pack a good mood musically hardly better than with this album, to be present but not stupid and boring simply knitted. Emotionally, I move similar to Off The Wall by Michael Jackson in this album.
Pharrell Williams has a good mood created with this album for my personal taste album on very high musical level that sweetened in years every party, every cleaning day makes a pleasant, every rainy and foggy day beautiful and exhilarating, every melancholy mood sells.
This too is musical art, or just that is perhaps the most difficult discipline in art. It does not always necessarily have to be profound. Sometimes you just want to be entertained only at a high level.
Significant is a recently fully comment my almost eighteen year-old son, who has found after a few years "of his contemporary music" from different genres to my from the 70s, 80s and 90s for me.
His argument, much of today's current music is either nervous, aggressive, depressed, indifferent, or pulls him down in any way.
Music decades older affects him more authentic, real and deep. For me beautiful conversion and confirmation why retro is so successful among young people.
Absolute buy recommendation!
