Song: Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell
This is definitely the summer of Pharrell. Featured in another great summer single (Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”), he knows how to pick winners. With Robin Thicke’s R&B riffs and T.I. and Pharrell’s hip hop stylings, “Blurred Lines” is the type of song you’ll have on repeat. The minimal and constant rhythm is punctuated by lyrics like “OK now he was close/ Tried to domesticate you/ But you’re an animal/ Baby it’s in your nature.” Check out the unrated music video for some real shock and awe.
