Blurred Lines comments
Rodgers comments on Williams and Thicke’s copyright infringement in the Blurred Lines court case, saying he believes the song’s composition is not at all like Gaye’s Got to Give it Up.
Compositionally, purely compositionally, I don’t think they should have lost that case. Got to Give it Up is clearly a blues structure, Blurred Lines isn’t at all. If we lose our freedom to be inspired, we’re going to look up one day and the entertainment industry as we know it will be frozen in litigation.
Pharrell interview
Seacrest interviews Pharrell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his duet with Miley Cyrus, Come And Get It Bae.
Come Get It’ I actually wrote for a girl. So it’s written from a woman’s perspective. And I just decided to re-record it myself. It’s funny because there’s another song on my album that is actually written from the perspective of a woman as well, and that’s called ‘Hunter.
Pharrell Williams interview
Winfrey interviews Pharrell Williams on Oprah’s Next Chapter to discuss his rise to fame and the future in front of him.
The `new black’ doesn’t blame other races for our issue. The`new black’ dreams and realizes that it’s not pigmentation, it’s a mentality, and it’s either going to work for you or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to pick the side you’re going to be on.
Pharrell Williams interview
Seacrest interviews Williams during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his collaboration on the single Girl with Miley Cyrus.
I love Miley. I’ll never forget telling you she’s on her way and there’s so much more there [than Hannah Montana] it was a pleasure having her on the record I wanted her tone and I felt her tone took it to the next level.
Pharrell Williams interview
Seacrest interviews Williams during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about the famous hat he wore to the Grammy Awards.
It’s Vivienne Westwood. It’s a buffalo hat and it’s an ode to Malcolm McLaren. He had a song called ‘Buffalo Stance’ and when I was a kid it was a big thing, so I was with a friend of mine and she gave me the history when we went to the Vivienne Westwood store and I was like ‘Okay, I need that.’ So I got it and this was about 4 or 5 years ago and at the very last minute I was thinking about what I was going to wear, and I knew I didn’t want to wear what I was going to wear during the performance, in the seat, or to the red carpet so I just threw on my Adidas jacket and the buffalo hat and went for it.
Flare interview
Williams gives an interview to Flare magazine. He talks about style and collaborating with people.
When you collaborate with people it’s almost like a crash course on their minds and skill set. It allows me to learn and get better. Phoebe Philo is another brilliant mind who has chosen to take her lifestyle and make that the muse of her work. She’s the king right now. Does Holt Renfrew sell Céline?
