It’s already June, which means we’re already way overdue for a new single by Pharrell that’s tailor-made to take over the radio for the next several months. The singer/producer extraordinaire rectified that oversight by unveiling a brand new track and it has all the makings for this year’s song of the summer. The song is titled “Yellow Light” and just like his monster hit “Happy” from a few years back, it’s affixed as part of the next Despicable Me soundtrack. As far as the feel, it’s about as carefree and breezy as you might expect a song designed to be included in the soundtrack for a major animated feature would be.
In addition to the song itself, Pharrell also dropped a brand new video to go along with it. The clip opens with Pharrell chilling on a stoop before taking off down the street. Eventually he’s joined up by some Minions who then ditch him for a cart full of bananas. At one point Pharrell finds a traffic sign and uses it to turn into an 8-bit, highly pixelated version of himself. The whole thing is lighthearted and carefree, designed specifically to get your little brother, sister, niece or nephew hopping up and down.
