Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams 'good friends again after Blurred Lines falling out'

 

The two hitmakers are believed to be penning another song together to rival their 2013 summer anthem which topped charts around the world


Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke have kissed and made up following their public spat over who wrote their hit Blurred Lines – and now they're working on new music together.
The pair, who teamed up with producer Clifford Harris Jr to make the global hit, found themselves rowing over the song after soul legend Marvin Gaye's estate accused them of plagiarising his 1977 tune Got To Give It Up.
Just a month ago Thicke told in a court disposition that he had lied – and it was in fact Happy hunk Pharrell who penned it.
But Mr Williams, 41, is clearly the forgiving type because last week he and Robin met in secret at a Los Angeles recording studio where they are working on a follow up to Blurred Lines – which was released on March 26 last year.

A source close to Pharrell, who yesterday sang his new hit Gust of Wind on the X Factor, revealed: “After Robin came clean and admitted he lied and that it was in fact Pharrell and Clifford who did all of the work, they have moved on.
“They were very good friends and worked together well, and very much enjoyed it, so have decided to give it another go.
“It's really early stages, late last week they went into a studio together to have a brainstorm, to see what they could do as a follow up to Blurred Lines.
“They've got some very big ideas, those close to them reckon that this hit will be bigger than the last.”

In September, Thicke, 37, was forced to admit that he had been telling porkies. He told in an interview in 2013 that it was him who deserved the credit.
He admitted he was taking prescription drug Vicodin and drinking vodka all day, every day while promoting the hit.
“I was jealous, and I wanted some of the credit,” said Robin. “I tried to take credit for it later because Pharrell wrote the whole thing pretty much by himself and I was envious of that.”
 

The pair are still fighting Gaye's family's accusations that they stole his hit song.
Blurred Lines achieved worldwide success, topping the charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Holland and the UK.
It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks in America.
