Their sometimes abominably clunky lyrics are hard to ignore, but this re-release with live
instrumentation rather than the synthesizer- heavy sounds of the early version give this
postmodern genre mash-up a real kick. Any derogatory comments towards women are clearly laced with
ironic ridiculousness ('Now girl kiss her boobs/And you kiss her boobs too'), but I do feel
sometimes perhaps Pharrell does go a little too far. A delightfully smooth ride if you manage to
avoid much of the vocal delivery.
Track Picks: 'Lapdance', 'Things Are Getting Better', 'Tape You', 'Run To The Sun', 'Baby Doll',
'Am I High', 'Bobby James','Stay Together'
