One of the singers I enjoy listening to is Pharrell Williams. He is a pop singer. One of the best albums he made was G I R L. The album was released March 3, 2014. The song I’m reviewing is called “Happy.” The feeling the song reflects is that he actually likes girl a lot, and makes the listeners happy about the relationship. His music is similar to Bruno Mars because he sings about relationships also. Pharrell Williams is very different than 50 Cents because he is not hip-hop artists. The rapper, 50 Cents is a contrast to Pharrell Williams because his music contains lyrics that are inappropriate words. The lyrics that are particularly memorable are: “Because I’m happy, Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof, because I’m happy, Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth because I’m happy, Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I’m happy, Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.” The lyrics are good because if you feel sad, you can just listen to the lyrics to the song. The critics agree that it is an award winning song. According Rollingstone, “The music is just as uncluttered as the track list, riding the light, euphoric vibe Pharrell established on the album's Number One hit, "Happy." The only requirement for getting into this club is admitting your own joy.” I agree with the critics’ opinions about the music because it is pleasant to listen to. My overall opinion is that it is worth the time and money to purchase the album. The lyrics are appropriate for all ages. The music is classy to listen to, and will lighten your mood. I recommend this album for everyone.
