Listen to Pharrell's Apple Music Single "Freedom" Now
Update (6/30): Apple Music launched on Tuesday, and with it came Pharrell's new single, "Freedom." Celebrated Beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe played the song twice in a row for its premiere.
The track is jaunty, wide-ranging, and has the positivity of "Happy" with James Brown shrieks on the hook. Pharrell's Glastonbury performance of "Freedom" had us wondering if it'd be an eight-minute piece of giganto-pop, but the single is actually a tidy three-minutes. Listen below.
