“The track boasts a steady funk bounce that anchors an array of bright synths; it threads the needle between disco, R&B, and festival-ready electro-pop.” — Rolling Stone
“… a smooth, fairly funky and deeply R&B infused track that’s distinctly different from most of deadmau5 catalog. It trades melodic techno for sultry R&B-leaning beats…” — Billboard
”This deadmau5, The Neptunes new single ‘Pomegranate’ actually bangs, with its lush R&B songcraft set against hyper-accentuated electro-pop. Weirdly, the two approaches seem to meld; perhaps it’s the songwriting at the core, but ‘Pomegranate’ is probably the first deadmau5 track we’ve had on repeat in a long, long time. A lush sensuous piece of electronic music…” — Clash(U.K.)
”Look for this one to be a similar smash for our pandemic summer.” — Variety
”This silky-smooth, R&B-tinged bop isn’t his normal flex, but we dare you to stop tapping your feet (or mimicking Pharrell’s high notes throughout the tune). Pharrell is in the driver seat, his memorable vocal stylings sitting perfectly atop this funky number. We have a feeling this will be tearing up the club…once we can get in the club.” — Complex
”Boasting lush production, electro-pop-infused tones, and a clapping backbeat, ‘Pomegranate’ stands as a triumphant effort by all three musicians with Pharrell’s recognizable cadence melting under comforting instrumentals.” — UPROXX
”…the perfect melding of nostalgic R&B, just the right amount of electro-pop with hints of funk and disco throughout.” — Hypebeast
”Open beaches or not, the world deserves a summer hit.” — Miami New Times
”deadmau5 and The Neptunes have teamed up for a summer, rubbery dose of electro-funk.” — Brooklyn Vegan
”… an infectiously catchy crossover jam….” — Dancing Astronaut
”With several keen musical minds steering the ship, it’s no wonder the single is masterfully produced, implementing a clean blend of synthesizers, bass, and vocal flourishes.” — Hot New HipHop
”The disco-funk meets electro-pop bop features Pharrell’s silky falsetto over a glistening groove that is bound to dominate all summer.” — Rap-Up
”deadmau5 blings with The Neptunes sound on his new collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo.” — Rap Radar

About The Neptunes
Formed by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, The Neptunes imparted their singular spirit upon some of the most seminal albums and songs of this century, ranging from Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” [feat. Pharrell] and Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave 4 U” to Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body” and Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.” Cited on Billboard’s “Top 10 Producers of the Decade” as #1, Vice claimed, “They have turned just about every modern genre inside out, spearheading the most revolutionary change in the sound of pop since Motown.” Along the way, the collective garnered four GRAMMY® Awards, notched 24 Top 10 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, and earned a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame among the 2020 class of inductees. 1998 saw the pair claim a place on the charts for the first time with N.O.R.E.’s “Superthug (What What)” and went on to produce Kaleidoscope for Kelis as their first full album behind-the-board. Carrying this style into the next century, a string of chart-busting smashes followed such as Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Got Your Money” [feat. Kelis], JAY-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me),” Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass,” Diddy’s “D.I.D.D.Y.”, Usher’s “U Don’t Have To Call,” and Busta Rhymes’s “Pass the Courvoisier, Part II.” The Neptunes set the globe on fire with “I’m a Slave 4 U.” Not only did it go #1 around the world, but it dramatically amplified their influence as a game-changing force. On its heels, the two-piece crafted “Hot in Herre” for Nelly, scoring #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. 2004 represented a watershed moment. They created seven of the thirteen tracks on Justin Timberlake’s classic Justified, receiving GRAMMY® Awards in the categories of “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical” and “Best Pop Vocal Album.” Two years later, they collected the “Best Contemporary R&B Album” GRAMMY® Award for their contributions to Mariah Carey’s comeback The Emancipation of MiMi and landed the 2007 “Best Rap Song” GRAMMY® for Ludacris’s “Money Maker” [feat. Pharrell Williams]. Among hundreds of titles, their discography consists of smashes for Beyoncé, Madonna, JAY-Z, Watch The Throne, Clipse, Jadakiss, Pitbull, LL Cool J, Kendrick Lamar, Fabolous, T.I. Fall Out Boy, John Legend, Solange, and Shakira in addition to soundtrack cuts for billion-dollar blockbuster franchises, including Bad Boys, Fast & Furious, and Austin Powers, to name just a few. Joined by childhood friend Shae Haley, The Neptunes also helmed production for all five N.E.R.D albums to date. These include the gold-selling one-two punch of the classic In Search Of… [2002] and Fly or Die [2004] as well as 2008’s Seeing Sounds and Nothing in 2010. The group’s 2017 offering NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES yielded the double-platinum hit “Lemon” [feat. Rihanna]. Not to mention, they unleashed a gold-selling compilation, The Neptunes Present…Clones, in 2003 and captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with the project. 2020 marks a new era for The Neptunes. Collaborating in the studio with Rihanna, Lil Nas X, Dua Lipa, Snoh Aalegra, Buju Banton, Beck, SZA, Lil Uzi Vert, G-Eazy, deadmau5 and more, the “Neptunes Sound” continues to forever transform the careers of A-list superstars and the culture at large.
