New N*E*R*D album

N*E*R*D is going to release a new album this year after almost 2 years since their last album “Seeing Sounds”. The new album is going to be named “Nothing” and hits stores June 15th, 2010.

According to Freshness, the album was originally named “Instant Gratification”. However, during the recordin process, the band scrapped 27 recordings and started again from nothing. Hence the title.. Pharrell says: “We scrapped 27 records because they weren’t good enough, they sounded great – but what were they saying? So we went back in (to the studio) and just focused on feeling…It’s almost like we did this whole entire album with our eyes closed, not because it was that easy but because it was that important to reconnect to what we feel and I would say this album is like scrapping everything and starting with nothing.”
