Pharrell back to slay your non top40 faves~

Very nice start!!!

There are much better tracks on the album than this :/

Marilyn Monroe is a fantastic track, in fact I prefer it to Happy :D

So Pharrell is back to boring R&B then after three fun million sellers. *sigh*.

Yay for 'Marilyn Monroe' scraping in! Done more than 'Lose Yourself To Dance' at least. Top 10 in the coming weeks though please.

Love this. Much better than that buzz track/film tie-in he put out last year.

Marilyn Monroe :wub:

Love this. But would've preferred "Gust of Wind" or his Justin Timberlake duet as second single. Hopefully both are released as singles at some point.

Marilyn Monroe just getting into the Top 40 this week. :D

Edited May 4, 201412 yr by gavindeejay

YES PHARRELL.

 

The single version is a little shit though.

This isn't sounding all that bad at all :o MUCH better than Happy anyway.
