Pharrell | In My Mind (2006)
22 January 2008 // 10:52 AM
"In My Mind" was the first solo album by NERD frontman Pharrell Williams. The album was originally scheduled to be released at the end of 2005 but was delayed after lackluster airplay for the albums' two already-released singles.
The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard album chart behind former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett and a NOW! compilation, barely selling 140,000 copies. The album fell to #9 in its second week and dropped like a stone from there despite single releases from high-profile guests Gwen Stefani and Kanye West. To date the album has sold just under 890,000 copies worldwide.
The album received generally poor reviews from critics. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone called it "still only so-so, offering a series of modestly tuneful, sometimes snoozy soul-pop-hip-hop songs". Entertainment Weekly said the album "seems divided against itself, rest assured that all of the songs have something in common: They're not remotely catchy". Despite the negative reviews and low sales, the album was surprisingly nominated for in Best Rap Album category at the 2007 Grammy Awards. Not to surprisingly, though, it lost out to Ludacris' "Release Therapy."
