Pharrell Williams on new album: "It's some of my best work"

Pharrell Williams believes his upcoming record contains some of the best music he's ever made.

The 'Happy' star recently signed a deal with Columbia and he will unleash his next solo album this coming year.

It seems the US hitmaker is pretty pleased with how the effort is sounding so far - and he puts that down to not thinking too much about its direction.

He said: "It's some of my best work and that's because in the process I made it with my eyes closed. That's not a reflection of any sort of superiority in any way, shape or form. I didn't do a lot of looking around to try and figure it out. I just closed my eyes and made it by feeling it and I think that's why I am most proud of it."

Williams meanwhile was nominated for the Oscars' Best Original Song award on Thursday (January 16) for his track 'Happy', which featured in Despicable Me 2.
