N.E.R.D

The Neptunes have certainly been making their mark in the music industry. Whether some of your favourite songs over the years have been hip hop, pop, rock or funk, there’s a good chance the The Neptunes, Grammy Award-winning producers and songwriters Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, have been at the helm. Together with their long-time friend and creative wunderkind Shae Haley, they make up one of music’s most innovative groups: N*E*R*D.

N.E.R.D’s third album ‘Seeing Sounds’ is released on June 9th, 2008 through Star Trak/Interscope Records. The album’s first single “Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)” is out in the UK July 7th.

‘Seeing Sounds’ is the follow-up to the group’s 2004 platinum-selling album ‘Fly Or Die’, which peaked at #4 and featured the smash-hit single “She Likes To Move” which charted at #5 in the UK charts.

“Everybody Nose”, the first single from the new album, is a prime example of N.E.R.D’s genre-defying music, with its mad refrain “All the ladies standing in the line for the bathroom!”. The track is driven by a thundering bass that gives way to a deep, drum-heavy rhythm track; the song careers between the head-nodding bravado of hip-hop and the body-moving energy of dance or punk music.

The new album ‘Seeing Sounds’ is a blistering mash-up of booming hip-hop beats, rollercoaster rock riffs, rumbling crunk rhythms and scintillating soul music. A song like “Killjoy” moves at a quick clip, with a fierce percussive breakdown serving at its emotional centre.

“Anti-Matter” moves through several different tempos, flirting with psychedelic guitar funk and a dirty south bounce. “Spaz” has the complex rhythms of Indian music before eventually giving way to noisy breaks. “Sooner or Later” evokes the elegance of ’60s UK pop, while “Yeah You” is a first-person account of having a female stalker and flirts with smooth, ’70s soul-jazz.

“We don’t care about genres. Why would we?” says Pharrell of the group’s third album. “For us, it was just about being what we are. We aren’t limited by anything other than our imaginations and what we feel, so why would we make music packaged into a little box?”
