N.E.R.D.'s new single 'Everybody Nose,' which depicts a club-hopper's drug
use, could be the theme song for out-of-control party girls on the celebrity
circuit. But frontman Pharrell Williams says the song is not chastising people
for their questionable habits.
'The message is just making an observation. It's not us condoning or
glorifying it or talking about people who do it,' the superproducer told The
Associated Press on Friday. 'We're just saying America, look at what's going on
... this is what it's like this is what this girl does.'
'Everybody Nose' is the first new music from the eclectic trio in years. The
group _ which includes Williams' Neptunes production partner Chad Hugo and
friend Shay Hayley _ haven't released an album since 2004, and were debuting
some of their new music at performances at the South by Southwest music
festival. Williams said the group took so long because they were 'waiting for
the right moment.'
'There's a lack thereof of energy, so we just wanted to be one of the bands
that would re-install that energetic feeling,' said Williams, who along with
Hugo has produced for acts ranging from Beyonce to Jay-Z to Justin Timberlake.
'I think it sounds more aggressive, more focused on emotional buildup and
just way hotter, it's way better _ its louder, and it's more texturized,' said
Hugo of their sound, which ranges from hip-hop to punk sounds.
N.E.R.D., which stands for 'No One Ever Really Dies' is due to go out on the
road with Kanye West, Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco in April.
