Pharrell Williams Opens Up About Working With Daft Punk
Tuesday, 16 April 2013 Written by Elliott Batte

American hip-hop star Pharrell Williams is the latest Daft Punk collaborator to open up about working with the French house duo on their forthcoming album ‘Random Access Memories’ - and he’s claimed that their new music is so good you don’t even ‘need MDMA to enjoy it’.

Vice’s Noisey have been putting together a series of articles about the many stars who’ve worked with the pair on their new album, and their latest episode sees them speaking to ‘Drop it Like it’s Hot’ man Pharrell Williams.

He tells the site:

“I met the robots at a Madonna party and they were just like, 'We're doing something'. I said, 'Whatever you guys need, I'll do it. I'll play tambourine.' It feels like the only click track they have is the human heartbeat, and that makes it really interesting because these are robots.”

Asked what he thought was the optimum place to listen to the album, Williams told Noisey:

“In a car, pulled up to the beach with my girl. Just let it play. This music is beyond 3D, it's 4D. You don't need MDMA to enjoy this music.'
