Pharrell On How Badly He Wanted To Work With Daft Punk
Wow. Daft Punk fever sure has set in these last few weeks, and one of the biggest reveals yet came this weekend as the French duo unveiled an even longer clip of first single “Get Lucky” at Coachella, featuring Pharrell Williams on vocals (who were all standing backstage together as the clip rolled before Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ performance). Then, on Saturday night, they rolled out that same clip on national television during a spot on Saturday Night Live, the same day that Rolling Stone published the first exclusive interview with the duo on the topic of their new album, Random Access Memories.
Today, as part of their ongoing Collaborators series of video interviews, they feature Pharrell, who speaks abstractly about his work with the pair, and how this record is the game-changer we’ve all been waiting for.
