Listened to Pharrell's music before it was mainstream, really ) I even think that Frontin' is in many ways musically and lyrically better that the famed Happy!
I became interested in Pharrell Williams' music only after "Blurred Lines" and "Happy". That's when I started 'digging' and this old song by this talented musician came up- now I think I like his earlier songs even more! ANd i also think that unlike the majority, Pharrell shines even more in duets (Frontn' with Jay Z is a good example too) than in solo works.
