WILLIAMS EXPLAINS ALBUM DELAY

Hip-hop star PHARRELL WILLIAMS has defended the postponement of his debut solo effort, insisting the months of fine tuning will pay off.

Williams, who has previously collaborated with a plethora of stars including KELIS, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, KANYE WEST and SNOOP DOGG, has been busy in the studio re-working the record and has replaced a few tracks, including a duet with jazz sensation JAMIE CULLUM.

Last year's (05) planned release of IN MY MIND came too soon for the N*E*R*D frontman but he admits he is finally ready to let his music do the talking.

The 33-year-old says, "I just decided I had pulled back the curtains too fast. By the time I mixed the album I was like, erm, I don't know if I want to use this now. So I added new tracks that really reflected how I felt.

"The album was just meant to be a break from being a fashion company for other people's careers. For once I was modeling all the s**t."
