Perhaps this partly explains why In My Mind took so long to materialize. If he weren't so crafty at his primary calling, he'd be relying almost exclusively on his charm and sex appeal. You'd think he would've been on his second or third solo album by the time the decent In My Mind was released in July 2006, but Pharrell has always considered himself a producer/songwriter first, a background figure who isn't a singer - and, for that matter, he's not much more than a competent MC. As of late 2005, however, there was only one single - the summer 2003 smash "Frontin'" - the man could call his own. Half of the extremely successful Neptunes production team, as well as a collaborator who has been deployed for countless guest verses and vocal hooks, Pharrell has been a regular presence on radio stations and video programs for several years. The idea of an all- Pharrell album is natural and unnatural in roughly equal measure.
