Pharrell Williams Fronts WSJ Magazine








FROM WSJ:

 As dusk begins to paint a warm summer day in pinks and oranges, Pharrell Williams arrives at a studio in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley whose atmosphere seems entirely consistent with the mystical calm of a man who has lately seemed to float into public appearances on a lotus flower. In a courtyard behind a pair of tall, ivy-framed wooden doors, a mossy fountain babbles and blue jacaranda blossoms pool on the flagstones. Just inside the studio itself, beneath a plaque certifying the multiplatinum status of Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad, a celadon Buddha presides over a couple of music technicians watching a football game and eating M&Ms. One of them uses his knees to squeeze a pillow embroidered with the words "You Have Free Will." Down the hall, perfectly insulated, Snoop Dogg toys with rhythms for a new track.
