COACHELLA 2014: PHARRELL TAPS JAY Z, T.I. USHER FOR ANOTHER GUEST-FILLED SET

Following his set at last week's Coachella Festival, fans wondered if Pharrell Williams could possibly have any more surprises up his sleeve. After all, his hour on April 12 included sit ins from Gwen Stefani (“Hollaback Girl”), Nelly (“Hot in Herre”), and Snoop Dogg (“Drop It Like It's Hot”); anyone else would either have called in all of their favors or have the same ones returned in their second week

Not so for Williams: his emminently likeable set was propelled by a phalanx of multi-cultural dancers, a spot-on band, Williams' winning, charming personality, and another onslaught of special guests, with only one repeat: Busta Rhymes, who blasted his way once again through “Pass The Courvoisier Pt 2.”

But other than that, it was newness in the guest department. Rapper T.I. appeared first, reprising his roll in this summer's chart-topper, “Blurred Lines.” He was followed by Clipse frontman Pusha T (“Grindin'”), R&B hitman Usher, who sang the Pharrell-written “U Don't Have to Call,” and main man (and perrenial Coachella attendee) Jay Z, who joined Pharrell for an extended cameo on “Frontin',” “Excuse Me Miss,” “La La La (Exuse Me Miss Again),” and “I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me).”

Though Pharrell didn't “take it all the way back” as he promised (that would have meant breaking out the Wreckx-N-Effects classic “Rumpshaker”), the hitmaker parade was just a reminder of the scope of his work. Pharrell's sets both weekends were packed with huge songs (including his collab with Daft Punk, “Get Lucky,” and his current megasmash, “Happy”), and didn't even touch all of the corners of his catalog; his work with Justin Timberlake, for instance, went wholly unrecognized, as did his collaborations with Azaelia Banks, and, even much of his current solo record, “Girl.” It didn't matter one bit: this was a variety show of the highest degree, with the best MC the Coachella masses could hope for.

With temperate weather and overall high spirits, the rest of the day could also count many highlights. Muse brought out the big guns production wise, with guitarist Matt Bellamy and bassist Christopher Wolstenholme riding cages on the ends of massive cranes into the audience during “Uprising,” a stunt they couldn't pull off the first week due to weahter. MGMT and Kid Cudi traded guest spots during each other's sets, with Cudi breaking out dance moves to “Electric Feel,” and the psych-rockers playing through Cudi's “The Pursuit of Happiness.” Nas's 20th anniversary performance of “Illmatic” also ended up a run through of new guests, with Damian Marley and Lauryn Hill helping pay homage to the classic album.

LISTEN: PHARRELL WILLIAMS - HERE ('THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2' SOUNDTRACK)

Pharrell Williams wears the producer and featured artist hat on the soundtrack for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Playing his role as part of The Magnificent Six score team with Hans Zimmer for the upcoming sequel, Williams lent his hand to "It's On Again" with Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar, as well as the solo song "Here." On the acoustic guitar-laden ballad, Williams sings of holding onto love despite its obstacles. Sounds like a good backdrop for a scene between Spidey (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: MAIN THEME ‘IT’S ON AGAIN’ BY ALICIA KEYS

Pharrell Williams continues to rule the music world. After not getting his expected Oscar for best original song with ‘Happy‘, the main theme of the animated film ‘Despicable 2′, the singer has a new song ready for another soundtrack, new attempt to get the award next year.

But this time only as a producer, not as a singer. The new song is called ‘It’s On Again‘ and it’s performed by Alicia Keys with the guest collaboration of American rapper Kendrick Lamar. The track co-written by Pharrell, Keys, Lamar with the collaboration of Hans Zimmer serves as the main theme of the upcoming American superhero film ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘. Alicia Keys said about the upcoming track:

I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer. This is the next chapter in the ‘Spider-Man’ legacy and we really feel ‘It’s On Again’ captures the experience, the story — and most importantly — the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There’s a little bit of a super hero in all of us 

The soundtrack will be released on digital retailers on April 22, with the film itself hitting U.S. theaters May 2. It’s also scheduled to feature new material from the Neighbourhood, Pharrell, Alvin Risk and LIZ. Phosphorescent’s ‘Song for Zula‘ will also make an appearance on the soundtrack.

While her early singles — such as 2012's "Echo" right through to February 2013's "Clarity," her Billboard-charting collaboration with German producer Zedd — faithfully tread a dance-pop path, there was a quirky and cultured approach to her material that betrayed a nod to similarly minded predecessors such...
