Chad, Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun, and Pharrell on our third day in Miami.
Late night studio session with engineer Mike Larson, Pharrell Williams, Odd Future’s Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Taco, and Frank Ocean.
The Neptunes at Glenwood Place Studios with Robin Thicke, Alan Thicke, Mike Larson, and Drew Coleman.
On the the six degrees tip…the dude Lance and his fiancé were recruited to be dancers in Gloria Estefan’s new “Wepa” video, the lead single from her forthcoming “Little Miss Havana” LP (which was produced entirely by Pharrell!). Lance will be performing alongside Gloria this morning on The View.
I could attempt to provide a description for this, or you could just listen to it. To say it knocks is the understatement of the year. Go Team Hugo.
