Most recently, a music video for "That Girl" (featuring Snoop Dogg) was released and has been receiving airplay on VH1. Originally the album had been slated for release on November 15, 2005, but the date was delayed at Williams' request. The album includes the three already-released singles " Can I Have It Like That" (featuring Gwen Stefani), " Angel" (only released in the UK) and " Number One" (featuring Kanye West) and performances featuring Jay Z, Nelly, Slim Thug, Snoop Dogg, Lauren London, Jamie Cullum and Pusha T of Clipse. Despite insisting that the single was a one-off, and that he was purely a producer and not an artist in his own right, it was announced that Williams would release his own studio album.

In June 2003, after having produced and featured on several songs by other artists, Williams released his debut single " Frontin'", featuring Jay Z. It was also certified Silver in the United Kingdom for sales of over 60,000 copies. It debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 142,000 copies in its first week. The album was released on Jby Star Trak Entertainment and Interscope Records. Just the fact that the album contains over an hour of Pharrell will be enough to attract scores of his fans, and it's not like any part of it is flat-out poor, but it's a shame it didn't turn out better.In My Mind is the solo debut studio album by American recording artist and record producer Pharrell Williams. Those who have been wanting to hear more of Pharrell's softer side will be pleased with the direction the album takes during the latter half, where his usual cocky demeanor is tempered by some loverman vulnerability. Produced entirely by Pharrell, with guest appearances from several of the high-profile artists ( Jay-Z, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Nelly, Slim Thug, Clipse's Pusha T) whose careers have been boosted by the Neptunes, the album is divided in half between R&B and rap, at least if you go by Pharrell's singing-to-rapping ratio. While the album never sounds as if less than 100 percent was put into it, a large chunk of the material is second rate compared to his past highlights ("Frontin'" included), and it's no help that the tracks tapped as singles are some of the weakest moments (as was the case with the first version of the first N.E.R.D. In interviews, Pharrell seemed more exhausted than excited and indicated that the album was too much of a compromised process. 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.
