Pharrell Williams has been working on new N.E.R.D. music. The record producer, rapper and singer-songwriter has been working on "12 N.E.R.D. records" in Paris and has promised something special is in the pipeline. In 1999, he became lead vocalist of the hip hop rock group, which he formed with Hugo and drummer Shay Haley. The band released five albums between 2001 and 2017. 

Speaking to Tyler, The Creator for GQ magazine, Williams said: "They’re big choruses, but you know, out of nowhere, I'll just come out of nowhere with the three-bar, crazy-nuts chords that go three-bar to four-bar to eight-bar. It's good bro, it's good."

Williams - who has won 13 Grammy Awards - compared the new material to 2001's debut studio album In Search Of... , and insisted he's getting the same "feeling", adding: "This is like that feeling that I felt when we made In Search Of…

"I knew it was different, and I knew there won't be nothing out there like this. But I'm talking about the feeling.

"I wanted to do everything. I wanted feelings. I wanted the motherf*****' great composition.”

The 50-year-old musician revealed he has also been experimenting with chords he has "never used before" as he puts together music for the 'She Wants To Move' band's upcoming record. He said: "I wanted great chords. I want to use chords I never used before, and not just the dreamy ones.

"The ones that I've never done, that I f*****' hated. But using them in ways to get to other chords where the changes are such a release.

"And then, lyrically, the harmonies here… all the songs just have rainbow harmonies."

He didn't give an update on when exactly fans can expect the potential album, which would be the follow-up to 2017's No_One Ever Really Dies.

Williams released the gospel single "Joy (Unspeakable)" in June as part of Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, which saw him act as creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear designs. He also previously collaborated with the brand in 2004 and 2008.
