Pharrell’s Signature Four-Count Intro

Pharrell

You may have noticed that many of Pharrell Williams‘ productions begin the same way. That’s because he has a signature four-count intro that he’s used throughout his career.

The technique loops the first beat of the song four times. The track then begins after the fourth count.

In honor of his 44th birthday, Genius has put together a video that highlights a few of his most famous productions that use the technique. It includes songs you may not have known that he produced, such as Frank Ocean’s “Sweet Life” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.”

Check out the examples above.
