Last month, Williams released the “world’s first” 24 hour music video for “Happy,” which is presented as an interactive clock, featuring a diverse cast of characters dancing along to the song. “Happy” is available now: http://smarturl.it/HappyiTunes.

“When we excitedly partnered with Pharrell in January of this year, we felt it was his time again,” says Columbia Records chairman / CEO Rob Stringer.

“Since then, ‘Blurred Lines’ and ‘Get Lucky’ have defined pop music in 2013, and now we are preparing to launch Pharrell as a global solo superstar in 2014. ‘Happy’ is just the beginning.”
