Year of the Pharrell comeback. He's on two big hits by Daft Punk and Robin Thicke right now. Also on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack with the song "Happy".

I bought the "Frontin' " CD single back in the day. :)
"Happy" sounds decent, as well. Will it be promoted at all?

I like the fact he is 40+ also, cuz it gives new credibility to older artists on radio and it defuses some of the ageism factor/issue.

Radio don't give two shits how old you are when you making HOT music!! If you old and tired then it becomes a issue and it should.

Oh yes they do.
Look at Mariah and Madonna.
Both #Beautiful and Hung Up should've been Top 10 CHR hits.
If you took Mariah's age out of the equation and placed it alongside the other Top 10's, there is no way you can say it doesn't belong there. If Mariah was 35 right now, I'd say it would be Top 5 right now.
These are just 2 very rare examples, you are right otherwise.
But Pharrell hitting it big certainly does help.

Well let me touch on Madonna since she was the reason you brought up ageism...imo if she made a song as good or one that sounded like Hung Up in 2010-2012 with the dance pop trend craze it would been HUGE even as old as she be.

I wanna say "oh yea totally!" "Of course she would!" "You are 100% correct!"
But I feel there is a small amount of legitimate ageism going on, and THAT'S why I feel Pharrell's success is important to all that.
it's going to open doors, if it hasn't already.

Most people are shocked when they hear that Pharrell is 40. He still looks at least a decade younger.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like ageism tends to affect female artists more so than male artists.

Will.i.am Takes Legal Action Against Pharrell's 'i am OTHER' BrandWill.i.am is taking legal action against Pharrell Williams over the latter's new creative brand "i am OTHER" – claiming that he owns the copyright to the phrase "I AM" and that Pharrell's logo is "confusingly similar," according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone. In his notice of opposition, will.i.am argues that Pharrell would be using his "i am OTHER" brand on clothing and other items in a manner similar to the goods that bear his own "I AM" logo. "The registration of the mark . . . is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark," the document reads. Lawyers for Pharrell and "i am OTHER" filed an answer to will.i.am's notice of opposition, denying all such claims. "I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me," Pharrell says in a statement to RS. "I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do." Representatives for will.i.am had not responded to a request for comment at press time. www.rollingstone.com/music/news/will-i-am-takes-legal-action-against-pharrells-i-am-other-brand-20130626

Will.i.am Denies Suing PharrellAfter reports that Pharrell Williams had been served papers by fellow producer Will.i.am, the Black Eyed Peas front man claims it's gibberish. It seemed that Will had filed a lawsuit against Skateboard P because he owned the trademark to 'I Am' and that it was "confusingly similar" to Pharrell's brand name "I Am Other." "I am not suing @pharrell & I never was," the beatsmith wrote on Twitter Wednesday (June 26), after Pharrell had publicly expressed disappointment in the "Scream & Shout" producer. "I am disappointed that will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me," he told Rolling Stone."I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions." Will.i.am's lawyer Ken Hertz then issued a statement to Newsbeat confirming that there were no hard feelings between the two musicians. "will.i.am is not suing Pharrell Williams. What will.i.am has done is what any trademark owner must do to protect and maintain a trademark. This is a run-of-the-mill trademark dispute that has been going on since late last year," it read, according to BBC. While Pharrell continues to keep charts dancing with his contribution to the hit Robin Thicke record "Blurred Lines," will's rep is hopeful the two will come to amicable terms in the name game. Hertz said, "We hope to work out a sensible compromise that will allow both parties to move forward without unnecessary acrimony." www.vibe.com/article/william-denies-suing-pharrell#sthash.wLMGsOyb.dpuf
