Pharrell Shares JAY-Z’s Creative Process
Pharrell has officially given fans an insight into how one of the most prolific creative minds of the music industry creates his biggest hits. In a recent interview with industry veteran Mark Ronson for The FADER Uncovered podcast, Pharrell shared his experience working with JAY-Z. In the conversation, Pharrell revealed that when Jay is working on a bar, he would often repeat the bars back to Pharrell in falsetto as that is how he thought of them. Pharrell explained, “He’s not good because he’s just made good records, no, he’s really like a character. He’s an odd guy. If you ever spoke to him, have a conversation with him, it’s not a regular conversation. Or when he writes and he’s just sitting there mumbling to himself, in falsetto, by the way.” Later on in the conversation, Pharrell does...

Olivia Rodrigo Plays “drivers license” at the DMV for Tiny Desk (Home) Concert: Watch
If you recently tried going to the DMV only for it to be unexpectedly closed, Olivia Rodrigo might be to blame. The pop phenom capped off an unfathomably accomplishment-filled year with a performance for NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert series, literally shutting down a DMV location to play an acoustic set of highlights from her recent debut album, SOUR. If the DMV bit wasn’t already obvious, Rodrigo’s remote Tiny Desk set included a rendition of her breakout hit, “drivers license.” She also played “good 4 u,” “traitor,” and “deja vu” while joined by a backing band underneath the dingy fluorescent lights. Despite the set’s dreary location, however, Rodrigo’s contagiously giddy attitude and stunning vocals are more than enough distraction from the nerve-wracking flashbacks of failing you...
