On 27th March, Nile Rodgers tweeted an article from iammusic.tv. According this article, Pharrell Williams of the hip-hop group The Neptunes and alternative rock band N.E.R.D is to be featured as a contributing artist on Random Access Memories.

Williams reportedly met up with Daft Punk and Nile Rodgers in the studio and provided lyrics for three tracks on the album. This news seems to be supported by Rodgers’ tweet and could be considered a confirmation of Pharrell William’s involvement.

With yet another name to add to the list of confirmed collaborators we have even more reason to be excited for the release of Daft Punk’s first studio album in eight long years. If you haven’t already, you can pre-order the album right here!
