N.E.R.D. news + new album + new member
N.E.R.D. has added a fourth official member to the eclectic band. Pharrell Williams tells MTV News that the one-named Rhea has joined the lineup for their fourth album, Instant Gratification, due out in 2010. "Musically, we're just somewhere else [with her]," Williams said. "The music is now very 3-D. It's something you have to hear. But you'll see. We're definitely somewhere else. I want to leave that impact moment for when you purchase your download and you purchase your CD. The music is very three-dimensional. We're just really excited. We feel like N.E.R.D. has always been the punks of hip-hop and the outcasts of alternative music — just a little different. But this time, we're taking no prisoners."

This reminds me of when a certain group added a =certain female singer and then they blew up. NERD has always had a bit of a cult following and a few great tracks, but not even Gwen could levitate them into greatness towards the album charts and radio... I bet it will all change soon, we'll see. Thoughts?
