Only five artists have had three songs to each sell over one million copies in the same year. The first four are the The Beatles. The remaining artist is Pharrell Williams, who in 2013 moved 1 million copies of “Blurred Lines”, “Get Lucky” and “Happy”.

Pharrell now looks to further his recent success with his second solo album, G I R L, released on March 3rd. With its first single, “Happy” reaching number one on the Billboard 200, he looks to be off to a convincing start. Add in features from big names such as Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, and Miley Cyrus, Pharrell has managed to create the perfect pop album, with catchy hooks and radio-friendly singles.

According to Pharrell, the meaning of the album is to celebrate feminism, and to honor the female figures that have been a part of his life. This comes after a huge controversy over the single “Blurred Lines,” which was criticized for its questionable lyrics and arguably demeaning video.

Musically, G I R L is not always perfectly executed. The lyrics are stale and at time quite corny. Pharrell’s singing is often considered to be his weak suit, but every song features him singing in his trademark forced falsetto. However, he does well enough and his production is on-point, as we’ve come to expect.

Notable songs on the album include “Marilyn Monroe”, which opens the album with orchestral strings, composed by Hans Zimmer. Another standout is “Gust of Wind”, featuring those famous French robots, Daft Punk.

“Lost Queen” and “Brand New” give the album an above average feel. It will never be a special game changer, and it wasn’t meant to be. It is simply an album that is enjoyable to listen to, and is meant to make lots of money for the record company. With sales over 347,000 since it’s release, G I R L seems to be getting the job done.
