New Música: Nelly Furtado Croons With Pharrell For 'Hot-n-Fun'

By Sharmaine Jones

Pharrell of N.E.R.D. has taken the “No-one Ever Really Dies” mantra to the next level. Rocking fur in the summer heat for their latest video, "Hot-n-Fun," this bouncy track featuring Nelly Furtado has the boys bringing a party to the chaotic desert. Dehydration be damned! This tune is the first single from N.E.R.D.'s upcoming album, Nothing.

A “hypnotising baseline“ follows N.E.R.D. as they cruise the highway in a psychedelic whip. The trio (Pharrell, Hugo, and Shay) pick up hitchhiking ladies (who, based on their outfits, need some survivalist training) on their way to a party. Upon reaching their destination, there are more — you guessed it — barely-clothed women dancing around a bonfire (someone call Bear Grylls!). Add to that a few bars of Nelly Furtado singing “Hot n Fun”, “Look at You”, “Look at Me,” Pokemon-inspired cartoon drawings randomly flashed across the screen, and there you have it! Hot. Fun. We get it.

The video is pretty simple, which is a bit of a disappointment considering it was directed by Jonas Akerlund, the man behind Lady Gaga's “Telephone” and “Paparrazi”. Maybe he was just following orders — after all, Pharrell's lyrics ring true: “People dont think no more/they just want to feel/they want to let go.”

We just hope N.E.R.D.'s Nothing is about something! Nothing hits stores on September 7.
