Pharrell is preparing to release his new album soon, and he's got a lot of phriends who will appear on it.
On Tuesday, November 1, Rolling Stone released its Musicians on Musicians cover story featuring Skateboard P and BTS' RM. Both internationally known artists had a lot to discuss including their upcoming collaboration, which will appear on Pharrell's new solo album Phriends.
“It’s a song from my album that they sang,” Williams said about the single, “and I’m super grateful. Everyone that hears it is like, ‘Whoa.'”
“I just love this,” RM added. "f**king love it."
During their conversation, Pharrell also provided more details about his new album. He said that it's the first volume of a new album series. He also offered to help produce RM's upcoming solo album, which is 90% done according to the lead BTS singer. In addition to beats, P also offered RM some advice before he drops his first solo album.
"I would just say continue to move forward," Pharrell said. "Continue to be curious. And don’t put any kind of pressure on what it is that you do by saying . . . No absolutes, like 'Oh, I will never do music again,' or 'I will never . . . ' I wouldn’t do any of that. I would just—"
"No nevers," RM replies.
"No nevers," Pharrell affirmed. "Just stay along for the ride. Just keep going."
