Pharrell Records A Song You'll Need To Wait 100 Years To Hear


Pharrell Williams and the Louis XIII clay record locked away for 100 years

Cognac brand Louis XIII has announced a partnership with Pharrell Williams to create a song that will only be released in 100 years, and only if we successfully mitigate climate change.

The sole recording of the song is on a clay record and will be held in a safe that would destroy the track if it is submerged in water. While the effort may not directly move nations and corporations to take the steps necessary, it is still a beautiful and creative artistic statement worth sharing.
