In related Neptunes news, group leader Pharrell recently expressed his interest in producing a country music artist. "I wanted to work with Faith Hill, but her schedule was kind of crazy with her working on a film and having children," Pharrell told The Music Room. "I would have needed a whole lot more of her time and it just kind of didn’t work. Hopefully in the future, when there’s enough time, it will happen. I definitely want to work with Bonnie Raitt." The Neptunes took home a MOBO Award in the United Kingdom for best producers of the year.
