Pharrell Williams says collaborating is like getting an education

Pharrell Williams has revealed that he loves collaborating with other musicians because it gives you a "crash course" in new creative perspectives. 

He told BeliefNet.com that facilitating a creative partnership with another artist is another form of education because it forces you to learn how to work in harmony with another person and also you get to see things from a different perspective:

"Collaborating allows me to channel and learn new ways of working, new ways of thinking, new directions. This is all an education. Life is an education, so every time I collaborate with somebody it’s like a crash course into the way that they work, into this new moment that we are sharing and into uncharted territories.”

Pharrell recently worked alongside composer Hans Zimmer on the music for the forthcoming movie 'Hidden Figures' and he added that it was an exciting and challenging project. The movie, which is set in the 1960s, uses a lot of music from that era and the hitmaker said:

"That’s a very crazy time, but it felt good and it was all music that evoked, music that came from the soul and that’s why they call it soul music. It was like you could just feel the core of where someone was coming from.”
