Skateboard P unleashed a snappy promotional video to clear the air on his LP’s playlist Monday (February 24).

According to the video, the track list is: 1. “Marilyn Monroe” 2. “Brand New” 3. “Hunter” 4. “Gush” 5. “Happy” 6. “Come Get It Bae” 7. “Gust of Wind” 8. “Lost Queen” 9. “Know Who You Are” 10. “It Girl” The final list is a bit different from one posted by the Noisey blog? last week following a listening session. That roster featured the song “Freq” and noted that collaborators would include Justin Timberlake on “Brand New,” Miley Cyrus on “Come Get It,” Daft Punk on “Gust of Wind” and Alicia Keys on “Know Who You Are.” (MTV)

Last week, Pharrell delved into what inspired his new LP’s title.

“It’s called G I R L, it’s all capital letters and two spaces between each letter on purpose. … The reason why I named it G I R L in capital letters is because when you look at it, it looks a little weird and the reason why it does is because society is a little unbalanced. And I just thought like, man, if I’m gonna make an album, I need to make an album that says everything that I’ve ever wanted to say, like dreamt of.” (Backstage At The BRITs)

Despite being a married man these days, P also noted his love for women for helping mold the album name.

“And women have been so good to me, this entire career,” P added. “They’ve done so much for my family, everything that I’ve ever gotten is because they paid for. They’re like my bosses. … I admire women in a lot of ways, but I needed to make sure that everyone knew that. On the surface, I do look and I do like them and I appreciate them in my little dirty ways here and there, but at the core – is what I’m telling you. We need them.” (Backstage At The BRITs)

Barring any setbacks, Skateboard P will release his first album in nearly a decade next week.

The year of Pharrell continues. After scoring an Oscar nomination and four Grammys including Producer of the Year, the “Happy” hitmaker has announced a title and release date for his second solo album. G I R L, his first project since 2006?s In My Mind, will arrive on March 3 via Back Lot Music/Columbia Records. The 10 tracks are now available for pre-order on iTunes featuring the first single “Happy,” which is currently No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Pharrell revealed the cover art and posted a 30-second trailer of him in the studio, laughing, crying, and recording with composer Hans Zimmer and an orchestra. (Rap-Up)
