...One of the worst songs in his entire catalog.
Its kinda obvious IMO if you know his catalog.
The falsetto is just too much.
The lyrics are way too simple for an artist like him looking at his days in N*E*R*D and even his solo features
The melody is too predictable on that "revive the 60s black church" sound that soul singers are always chasing a la Bruno Mars or Adele.
I'm not mad at its appeal...but its not a good song...and definitely not one of Pharrell's best.
The song is nice. Something the whole family can enjoy. I know your a fan of prominent rappers on the hiphop scen like Fly Young Red, Young Thug, Drake, ASAP Rocky, or the thousands of other "moist" MCs that are being forced onto us, the masses. Of course this all occurs courtesy your homies in the gay mafia.
Therefore, given the slim picking of suitable music on the radio, a song that doesn't overtly promote various depraved activities like murder, sodomy, whoredom, or the increased degradation of our society (like 99% of the rot currently blasting from the urban airwaves) automatically gets a pass in my book.
It doesn't hurt that the song is assoicated with one of the best animated movies to come out in a long while...DESPICABLE ME 2.
Now everyone sing!
