Producer Spotlight: The Neptunes

-
The Neptunes is one of my favorite producers so its really a pleasure to do a write up on them. I've always admired their sound and I have always liked Pharrell's songwriting. The Neptunes started out working alongside artists such as SWV and Total. Their big break came with Kelis and the single; "Caught Out There". It was then that many were captivated by this futuristic sound and wanted it for the centerpiece of their singles.

Pharrell Williams; who is one half of the famed duo took an immediate step into the spotlight. Often becoming the voice of the duo and an artist in his own right. Pharrell would become a featured artists on his own productions thanks in part to many of the rappers he produced for.

Chad Hugo would be deemed the quiet one of the duo but also joined Pharrell in their group; N.E.R.D. and did a few side projects without Pharrell's involvement.

The Neptunes may of hit their peak some years back but I have never counted them out. The Neptunes work can be heard on the new Game album; "The R.E.D. Album" in stores July 6.

Check out some of the many great songs The Neptunes have provided us over the years!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time.
