In My Mind 2006 Album

Pharrell Williams

Pharrell would have to be one of the most heard artists these days, and if you’re not hearing him as a featuring artist, he is probably producing the song you are listening to. Maybe this is why this album is disappointing. Maybe because he does so many things he ran out of ideas. 'In My Mind' starts off slowly, with tracks 1-7 being disappointing apart from ‘Best Friend’. After track 7 though it starts to improve and generally apart from a track or two it is a lot more enjoyable to listen to. This is a change as most of the time albums start off better than they finish. ‘Young Girl/I Really Like You’, ‘Number One’ and the final track ‘Skateboard P Presents Show You How To Hustle’ are standouts, while ‘Angel’ and ‘Take It Off’ are also very good. I don’t enjoy his rapping as much as his singing but he can do both reasonably well. Hopefully his next album can be more of the ‘Number Ones’ and less of the ‘Can I Have It Like Thats’.
