The Pop Corporation

Most musicians fall off eventually, don’t they? And so, to Pharrell Williams who was once a prince amongst men, and then starred in a super dodgy Robin Thicke video, did some gigs that were literal fundraisers for the IDF, and now perhaps worst of all, collaborating with Mumford & Sons on a new song called ‘Good People’.

He’s at the producer’s seat, and Marcus Mumford sings “good people been down for so long and now it’s like the sun is rising”, backed by Williams as well as the Native Vocalists, a choir from the US and Canada, who hail from Native American Tribes. That’s objectively nice isn’t it? But doesn’t it also irritate?

Maybe it’s because we find it hard to hear about ‘good people’ when Mumford & Sons had Winston Marshall in the group who has a dad who is a hedge fund manager worth £630 million and threw money at right wing bait channel GB News and is the cousin of Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy.

Remember when they told Q Magazine that they are fed up with being “picked on” for being posh? Anyway, listen to this song if you like – we were clearly using the release as an excuse to have a pop at some lads who dress like they run a terrible brewery that sells hop-forward swill. It’s fun hating stuff.
