MTV’s Artist of the Week: N*E*R*D

N.E.R.D. is Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shae Haley. However the end result of their time spent behind the controls sounds like they’ve got a lot more than just six hands. Their new album Seeing Sounds, takes you to a new dimension you didn’t know existed but suddenly need a whole lot more of — the kind of dream you’re not sure is good or bad, but you know its better than being awake. The album is a celebration of their genre-resistant, hyperstimulated sound, complete with that hypnotic bass swagger, dirty drumming, sexed-up, galaxy of songs, sounds and sights . A complete sensory overload.

Watch N.E.R.D. perform their new single, Spazz, live in New York.
