Today in Pharell news…

The super producer is staying busy helming International Happy Day, which launched March 20, gearing up for his Saturday Night Live performance on April 5 and working on the new Alicia Keys album.

Williams stopped by Revolt TV to dish on Alicia Key’s new music.

“I’m telling you right now, you’re not ready for the new Alicia album. You know what it is? It’s a meteor, coming out of nowhere out of the sky. It’s just emitting and radiating just a force and I’ve never seen her so comfortable, ever,” he gushed.

Although there is no release date for the LP, it is rumored to hit shelves before the end of the year.

Pharrell also kicked off International Happy Day in partnership with the United Nations today. The International Day of Happiness website dedicated to the initiative features a sweet video of Pharrell visiting a school to give inspirational words to students.
