It’s been 4 years since funk-rock group N.E.R.D. released an album. The last being Fly or Die. Why the long wait in between albums?

Williams, who recently wrapped a record with Madonna, told MTV last October that he was “just waiting for the right sounds,” comparing making music to going fishing. “You fish for it every day, and either you get it or you don’t,” he said. “And sometimes I have to wait. What I usually do with the N.E.R.D. albums is we wait a lot.”

The wait will soon be over though, when Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, along with friend and collaborator Shae Haley, drop their new album Seeing Sounds on June 10th, 2008.
