While I was on board the Pharrell comeback train a few months ago when "Get Lucky" became a smash, it's starting to become a bit stale. Everyone and their mother are suddenly interested in him, trying to get "Blurred Lines" 2.0. Didn't we see the same think with Dr.Luke, RedOne and JR Rotem when they were hot commodities? Now of all people to hop on board the Pharrell train, Ed Sheeran.
His new single, "Sing" sounds like him trying to emulate Justin Timberlake via the "Justified" era and it just isn't doing for me. Ed's voice is meant for the folky pop tunes or the acoustic tear jerkers, not the top forty bandwagon...Ed's sophomore effort "X" (pronounced "Multiply") is due in June.
