Nothing says “you are definitely in the experimental phase of an album” quite like a mainly instrumental, slightly formless interlude. Built around the mantra of “you’ve got to go inside to experience the outer space that was built for you”, it’s also the album’s slowest song, with the sound of crashing waves morphing into bubbling synths. It’s all a bit self-help-lite too, with Pharrell intoning “individuality makes life better”, before R&B singer JoJo joins in for an actually rather lovely mid-section. Disconcertingly, in my notes I wrote down one of the lyrics as “it tickles your bum/ from the vibration of love”, which is certainly something.
