Pharrell Williams – Happy
Despicable Me 2 Soundtrack (2013)

Have you seen the world’s first 24 hour music video, based on this track? It’s a fun time killer to play around with, automatically adjusts to the time in your computer (super cool) and it’s good for background music.. at least for a while: http://24hoursofhappy.com

Pharrell Williams, the 40-year-old (yes!) genius, formed The Neptunes with his equally talented friend Chad Hugo in the early 90’s, and they were later discovered and signed by the great father of New Jack Swing, Teddy Riley. Then came N.E.R.D and blew our minds with cool and distinctive beats, the guys continued producing music with a bunch of other artists, and today the man with a kid called Rocket, a half-pipe in his home and maybe the world’s most beautiful jawbones just keeps on creating innovative beats and art, making the rest of us happy. (Apart from that sexist Thicke collab. Boo!)
