Pharrell was the musical guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night. Backed by a choir of tracksuit-wearing singers, he delivered a performance of “Letter to My Godfather,” a song that appeared on the soundtrack for the Netflix film The Black Godfather, released in June. The film follows the life of “the godfather of black music,” Clarence Avant. Check that out below.
Pharrell recently appeared on “Everlasting Nothing,” a new song with Beck. Next April, he’ll be hosting the second annual Something in the Water festival. The lineup has not been announced, but Something in the Water 2019 featured sets by Travis Scott, Mac DeMarco, DRAM, and more. In a recent interview, he officially denounced his duet with Robin Thicke, “Blurred Lines.”
