Last time we spoke with Canada’s rising teen star Francesco Yates, he was performing dope acoustic covers of Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools” and Miguel’s “Adorn.”  Now, the 18-year-old crooner is recording his debut album with the hottest producer of the year – Pharrell Williams.

We caught up with the “Call” singer briefly while he was rehearsing for his intimate showcase at New York City’s The Slipper Room. During our time together, Francesco gushed about his #TeamAfro fans, being in disbelief when Justin Timberlake shouted him out on Twitter, and of course, Pharrell Williams producing his debut album.

Francesco’s debut album, which is currently untitled, is due out later on this year. Check out Francesco’s exclusive interview up top.
