Design In The Detail: 9 Songs That Pharrell Williams Is Secretly Featured On
Source: Goedefroit Music / Getty Pharrell Williams has never needed to be front and center to make his presence felt. Over the course of three decades, the Virginia native has mastered the art of leaving his fingerprints on a track, sometimes so subtly that casual listeners might not even realize he's there. Whether he's adding a few background ad-libs, sprinkling in harmonies, or lending his unmistakable production touch, Pharrell knows how to shift the energy of a song without overshadowing the main act. It's part of what makes him one of the most versatile and enduring figures in music. Long before the world knew him as the guy in the mountain hat, Pharrell was quietly shaping the sound of an entire era. As one-half of The Neptunes alongside Chad Hugo, he crafted timeless hits for everyone from Jay-Z and Britney Spears to Justin Timberlake and Snoop Dogg. His work blurred genre lines, effortlessly merging hip hop, R&B, pop, and funk in ways that made his style instantly recognizable; even when his name wasn't in the credits. That same magic has carried into his vocal features, where he often slides on a track like a sonic easter egg that fans have to discover. It's this chameleon-like quality that keeps Pharrell so exciting. Some artists rely on a big rollout or a flashy feature to make noise; Pharrell often does the opposite. He thrives in the background, adding depth and texture to a song in ways that reward close listening. His contributions can be as small as a single 'yeah' in the right spot or as involved as reworking an entire rhythm section. Either way, the result is a track that feels elevated, fresher, and more alive. In honor of his genius and his unmatched knack for sneaking onto records, we've put together a playlist of songs where Pharrell's presence might surprise you. Some you may recognize instantly, others might make you double back and hit replay with a new ear. Either way, they're proof that when Pharrell is in the mix, whether in the spotlight or just behind it, you can bet the song has unparalleled touch! Note: All the songs were produced by Pharrell/The Neptunes and most were co-written or written by him.

Why Webtoon Entertainment Stock Nearly Doubled Today
Key Points Earnings reports often drive significant stock moves, and Webtoon did beat analyst expectations in the second quarter of 2025. However, an unexpected content deal with Walt Disney added far more fuel to the stock's fire today. 10 stocks we like better than Webtoon Entertainment › Shares of Webtoon Entertainment (NASDAQ: WBTN) soared to a 52-week high on Wednesday. Powered by a strong earnings report and an unexpected Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) partnership, Webtoon's shares had gained 93% as of 11:40 a.m. ET -- and the chart is still trending upward as of this writing. Webtoon's results and a sweet Disney deal Let's start with the financial filings. The average Wall Street firm had expected second-quarter earnings of roughly $0.02 per share, with top-line revenue near $341 million. The mobile webcomics specialist posted adjusted earnings of $0.07 per share instead, based on $348 million of revenues. That's a clean sweep, also exceeding the top end of management's guidance ranges for this period. But the bigger news came from the House of Mouse. Besides the earnings report, Webtoon also announced a brand new Disney deal. This contract adds a selection of Disney, Marvel, 20th Century Fox, and Star Wars content on the Webtoon platform. It will start with a handful of free webcomics at launch, followed by approximately 100 pieces of premium content over time. That's a robust slice of Disney's instantly recognizable content portfolio, but Webtoon users won't get full access to this deep well. How the partnership helps Webtoon and Disney Webtoon CEO David Lee wasn't able to share financial terms or launch dates quite yet, as the commercial details are still being hammered out. But he called the deal a win-win for both companies. Webtoon will supplement its mainly anime-style comics with a deep well of proven hits, while Disney reaches the Gen Z kids (and younger) from a new angle. The stock calmed down to an 85% gain by noon ET. That's still a solid 52-week high. Again, the Disney deal holds more weight than a modest earnings surprise. From here, Webtoon needs to make the most of its Disney contract, boosting the company's fairly slow revenue growth and nearly breakeven profits.

George R.R. Martin Finally Finishes Writing Sequel To ‘Erin Brockovich'
SANTA FE, NM—Stressing that fans of the franchise were about to be richly rewarded for their patience, author George R.R. Martin announced Tuesday that he had finally finished writing his sequel to the 2000 film Erin Brockovich . 'At long last, the wait is over—my script for Erin Brockovich 2: A Kiss Of Chromium is officially complete!' Martin said in a press statement, adding that the project had stalled as a result of his involvement in other creative ventures, as well as his perfectionism and desire to give the Erin Brockovich character the ending he felt she deserved. 'It took more than a decade of hard work to build out the setting of California enough to make this sequel feel real. But I think fans are ultimately going to be glad I took my time writing it, even the ones who spent years badgering me to hurry up! Now that it's complete, I have plans for a prequel series set 8,000 years before the original Erin Brockovich .' At press time, Martin had reportedly delayed the sequel for rewrites after spoilers about Erin Brockovich's life leaked on her Wikipedia page.
