Eighteen months-ish since he rebooted his career with a Vaseline-smooth vocal on Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’, and almost a year since he followed through with the smash hit follow-up ‘Happy’, age-defying R&B dude Pharrell Williams returns to London for a show as part of the iTunes Festival. His recent live performances have set songs from his latest album ‘GIRL’ alongside material from throughout an incredible 15-year career as a singer and producer: he’s scored hits with Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke, NERD, Kelis, Nelly, Gwen Stefani and loads more, so even though Williams has been criticised for his live vocals (or lack thereof) there’s no shortage of potential crowd-pleasers in his arsenal.
Supporting Pharrell are cryptic London duo Jungle, who’ve quickly become one of 2014’s hype sensations. They’ve released a series of steamy, grooving, disco-edged neo-soul tracks, sold out several London gigs this year and just released their impressive, self-titled debut album, despite the fact that we still don’t even know their full names.
