“I’m very inspired by the water, and the name of this collection ‘Titan’ draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis — Atlantis, which is also the name of the community I grew up in Virginia Beach,” Pharrell said in a statement to Women’s Wear Daily.
“The detail in all of the jewelry pieces is very intentional, the use of black titanium…it’s a physical manifestation of beauty in blackness.”
Ever the multi-hyphenate, Pharrell is also working on a new musical film in connection with Universal Pictures.
The film is reportedly set in Virginia Beach in the summer of 1977, inspired by the neighborhood where he grew up, particularly the Atlantis Apartments.

On the musical side of things, Pharrell quietly dropped a surprise album,Virginia: Black Yacht Rock Vol. 1 — City of Limitless Access, in April – available to stream or download solely on the website blackyachtrock.com.
That website, according to GoDaddy.com’s WhoIs database, was only created in March and was most recently updated on April 3.
The 10-track project includes the songs “Richard Mille,” “Just For Fun,” “Caged Bird Free,” and “Cheryl.” No credit or feature information was immediately available.

The website also contains a solicitation to join a mailing list. Once an address is submitted, a message reading, “Stay tuned…” pops up. So far, Pharrell has not mentioned the album on social media.
The project is the hitmaker’s first solo release in a decade since 2014’s Girl.
