Speaking about the project in an interview, Pharrell said he was “humbled” by the success of his 2013 singles, Happy (from the soundtrack for the movie Despicable Me 2), and smash hit Get Lucky, featuring Daft Punk.
Piece By Piece is described as “a documentary, a biopic, an animated movie, and a musical.” The Happy hitmaker described the director of the movie as one who “really knows how to paint with emotion and with vulnerability.”
Director Neville also said Piece By Piece was more than a display of Williams’ life story, but “a tale many can relate to.” The production will be released several months after the fashionista and music maker, collaborated with Miley Cyrus, on the single, Doctor (Work It Out). That music video gained more than one million hits on YouTube in less than 24 hours after it was released. Williams and Miley Cyrus had previously worked on Come Get It Bae, released in 2014.
