"IN MY MIND"

yeahh.. right...
the not-so-anticipated-album-anymore from PHARRELL WILLIAMS...

i've been waiting for this album since.. i don know... FOREVER..
pertama2 dy bilang albumnya kluar December..
i waited...
trus dy ganti jadi Januari..
i waited...
and that date got cancel too..
i still waited...
three singles out, but the album still not out yet...
i am sick waiting...

then now here we are...
almost a half year delays...
and the album is suddenly out..
tapi masalahnya gw uda bosen aja gitu.. it just lost its hypes..
n by the way Neptunes juga ga seproduktif dulu...
so.. i listened his album..
(yeah.. it is still PHARRELL WILLIAMS right?)
lemme tell you what i think...
so, this is his solo album right.. with no Mr. Chad Hugo...
jadinya berasa banget sihh ke-tidak-Neptunes-annya...
Kalo misalnya lo biasa denger lagunya Neptunes (atau mungkin N.E.R.D.), biasanya ada dikit unsur Hard Core-nya kan..?
which is cool..
Tapi di album ini.. nuthin like that...
felt bit plain, still wit those bouncy familliar sounds that he always do...
that, n then mixed with shallow lyrics... bit predictable maybe?!

OK.. now, the real problems...
he still can't rap, n still can't really sing...
and weird enough that this guy tried to make this album both hip-hop and RnB...
(whohoo.. big ego...)
but, damn... i appreciate that he's tryn to make this whole new style of singing...
and.. still i just love his breezy n cozy version of RnB...
and.. about the hip-hop.. it's smart enough that he invited a real hip-hop artist to actually rap...

maybe this is not 2004 anymore.. and Neptunes is not the biggest producer in music scene...
but i guess the album still worth to listen seeing the guy's reputations and all..
hehe...
and believe me.. there's a better track than that annoying repetitive "Can I have it like that"..
so yeah.. there's hope...
