The Voice has made an addition to their coach line up! Happy singer Pharrell has joined the show for their seventh season. Yesterday NBC tweeted, “Okay, we can OFFICIALLY say it! WE ARE SO #HAPPY to announce PHARRELL WILLIAMS = #NewVoiceCoach for SEASON 7.” NBC’s President Paul Telegdy commented on the new partnership saying:
It’s been a huge year for Pharrell, with recognition for his contribution in the world of music — the Despicable Me franchise soundtracks, his Oscar-nominated song ‘Happy’ and his Grammy-winning collaboration with Daft Punk on the breakout dance hit ‘Get Lucky.’ His dominance in record sales in 2014, coupled with his incomparable accomplishments in the world of fashion and design, make him an irresistible addition to The Voice family…He has already made a considerable impact as a mentor, drawing on an impressive track record as both a producer and performer. It is a perfect fit for The Voice as we evolve and reach for new heights with this franchise. It feels like we are welcoming an existing family member home.
Pharrell will be taking the place of Cee Lo Green.
Everyone is aware that THIS is happening right —–> @Pharrell is our #NewVoiceCoach for SEASON 7. #TheVoice
