Collaboration-shy producer and occaÂsional singer of song Pharrell Williams might be producing a song or two on the new One Direction album, 'Midnight Memories'.
"We are defÂinÂitely talking," he confirmed to the Sunday Mirror. "From what I’ve heard of their new stuff I'm pleasÂantly surprised."
Hardly a ringing endorseÂment, but do go on.
"Their new stuff is defÂinÂitely a proÂgresÂsion and an elevation. I will hopefully be getting involved as we are defÂinÂitely in talks."
He wasn't done there mind you, adding: "I don’t think some people realise how hard those boys work. There is so much more that goes into One Direction than just the band."
"They are a brand and are huge. They are incredÂibly hard-working. I’m sure it will excite our female fans if we’re on a record together."
'Our female fans'.
