VIENNA, March 5, 2014 /-- "If you get hooked on success, you are screwed," says seven-time Grammy winner Pharrell Williams in the latest issue of The Red Bulletin, available now on newsstands worldwide as well as in the magazine's digital editions. "If that is your main concern, being on top, then you should probably find another business. Because our business works off of emotion."
In an exclusive interview and photo portrait that goes in depth over 14 pages, the creative powerhouse known for his work as a singer, songwriter, producer, musician and designer opens up about a range of topics, from collaboration ("I find the magic in trying to just blend different worlds") to where the music industry is heading ("the paradigm is shifting") and even – in discussing his new album "GIRL" – his feelings about writing music for women. Complementing the master collaborator's "editorial takeover" of the magazine are mini-features on the art and artists that inspire him, such as Japanese designer-toy sculptures, L.A.-based artists Cyrcle, singer BANKS, and a BMX rider who makes New York City his canvas.
"The Pharrell Williams interview in The Red Bulletin goes beyond a typical cover story – we saw it as a rare opportunity to share the insights and inspiration of a groundbreaking artist in depth," said Robert Sperl, the international monthly's editor-in-chief. "Whether readers discover the story in the print magazine, e-paper edition on the web or tablet app, I think they're going to discover something new about this remarkable creative force."
The Red Bulletin is a men's active lifestyle magazine published globally in e-paper format, as a tablet app and in a print run of 2.5 million copies. Each month the magazine appears in 12 national versions spanning five languages.
