Free Download: N.E.R.D. 'Everybody Nose'

When The Neptunes' Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams get together, they create a little bit of musical magic. I have been grooving to N.E.R.D.'s "Everybody Nose" ever since it was first leaked to the airwaves a few months ago. It is a banging pop R&B track that is dominated by spaced out sounds effects, fierce rhythmic syncopation, a sharped-edge bassline and soulful production stylings that very much define The Neptunes' distinct sound.

The song is a good example of why I am a fan of Hugo and Williams. It is not so much about the incredible vocals or the deeply emotive lyrics, but it is the production of their songs that fascinates me. Their secret to making music is a neat little software program called ProTools. It enables them to seamlessly mix acoustic instruments and digital bits to create a sound that appears to be recorded by a live band. "I want my live records to sound like they're programmed and my programmed records to sound like they were live," Williams once explained in an interview with The New York Times.

"Everybody Nose" is a song about the dark side of fame that was obviously inspired by some of the Hollywood starlets falling from grace last year. The track is taken from N.E.R.D.'s upcoming new album "Seeing Sounds" that is scheduled for release this summer. (The scratching at the end of "Everybody Nose" is courtesy of another very iconic music producer who is a childhood friend of Pharrell. Click HERE to find out who it is.)
