Aloe Blacc has a new album out? I loved 'I Need a Dollar'. He released a 4 track EP called Wake Me Up. The track is on there.

He reportedly got married in August, but he and his wife are planning a big ceremony. They look like siblings.

And apparently they're pushing for an Oscar nomination for "Happy". If that were to happen it would be an even more incredible year for him.

He's bound to win at least 2 awards that night. Now that is how you make a resurgence of yourself. Tim should take notes.

His comeback seems over already. He's been getting acclaim for his work with Jennifer Hudson, Daley. Aloe Blacc, his own single Happy went #1 in France and other countries.

He was featured (and produced) on two of the biggest songs of the year. That's more than enough.

I'm not trying to take anything away from his incredible accomplishment(s) this year, but it DID seem like he was on the verge of becoming THE producer that all major artists flocked to work with (like Timbaland's comeback in 2006) but for better or worse it's safe to say that's not happening. At this point if Pharrell never went top 10 on the Hot 100 again, I wouldn't be shocked (though it's certainly still possible that he will).

Check his production credits and work from this year. He turned himself into a brand. It's not just about producing music. He's scoring movies (Despicable Me 2, The Amazing Spider-Man 2), GQ spread, establishing I Am Other which includes partnering with various YouTube channels, mentoring on The Voice, etc. This year he established himself again. Next year he's gonna explode even more. Frank Ocean, Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, T.I., etc.

I'm not debating his work ethic or his credentials. That's beside my point. I'm saying that at the start of summer there was much talk that Pharrell would become one of the dominant producers to shape the sound of radio and popular music, beyond his two summer hits, but that's not happening.

That's because you expect something immediate. He's been constantly working on people's albums this year and for next year. You're basing sayings off of something 3-4 months ago. A lot of the people he been working with won't release until next year. Timbaland's next single is with Pharrell and JT.

Executive producing T.I.'s next album.
Oh, and he also just signed deals with Sony (Columbia in the US and RCA in the UK). New album due out next year.
CEO Rob Stringer:
"Happy" is Top 5 in the UK. It's also gone Top 10 in Australia and many European countries (including #1 in France and the Netherlands).
Here's the non-24-hour long version of the "Happy" video.

www.vibe.com/article/pharrell-williams-signs-columbia-recordsPharrell Williams celebrates yet another win in his already banner year. The Grammy-nominated singer/ producer/ songwriter has signed on to Columbia Records and is already gearing up for his label debut, slated for a 2014 release. The partnership follows his massive success from contributing to the year's most viral hits, including Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," Daft Punk "Get Lucky" and his own "Lucky." “When we excitedly partnered with Pharrell in January of this year, we felt it was his time again,” says Columbia Records Chairman/CEO Rob Stringer. “Since then, ‘Blurred Lines’ and ‘Get Lucky’ have defined pop music in 2013, and now we are preparing to launch Pharrell as a global solo superstar in 2014. ‘Happy’ is just the beginning.” His happy-go-lucky single, featured on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, also boasts the world's first 24-hour music video and will be featured on his Columbia Records' LP.

With Daft Punk performing at the Grammys, Pharrell is more than likely confirmed to be performing along with them. 7 nominations will get you on that stage.
