Pharrell Williams has revealed that he would love to work with New Zealand singer Lorde in an appearance on Australian breakfast TV.

The 40-year-old also performed with a local girls choir on TV show Sunrise on Thursday morning – and he didn’t forget his signature hat.

When asked by hosts David Koch and Samantha Armytage if there is anyone he would like to work with Pharrell had high praise for the Royals singer.

Royal fan: The 40-year-old revealed he would love to work with New Zealand pop star Lorde

‘I would love to work with [Lorde]. She doesn’t need me but I would love to work with her,’ he said.

‘When you hear Lorde’s music you hear her lyrics, you hear her melody and you hear her music but you also feel what she’s saying.’

He said he would also love to work with Prince and Katy Perry (who he says his five-year-old son Rocket ‘loves’).

Pharrell was humble as he thanked his fans for his recent success, including a number one album on iTunes, an Oscars nomination and a string of Grammy wins.

Humble: Pharrell thanked fans for his recent successes

‘I continue to make songs and I think I’m getting a little better, I’m trying my best,’ he said.

‘It’s the people, ultimately at the end of the day, that have lifted me as high as it is right now.

‘I’ve never seen these heights before.’

Pharrell added that he and his wife Helen Lasichanh preferred to keep a low profile rather than party with other celebrities.

‘We appreciate our privacy but at the end of the day we’re normal people, when I’m not working we're homebodies and Helen’s my best friend.

‘We spend more time jumping on the bed than we do out partying, clinking glasses.

‘That’s fun but I think there’s just so much more to the work we’re doing right now.’

Pharrell also went outside the studio to Sydney's Martin Place to meet and greet fans.

The Happy singer flew into Australia yesterday ahead of performances at Future Music Festival.

Just dance: The award-winning producer wore his trademark oversized mountain hat

The Australian Girls Choir posted a rehearsal picture with the award-winning producer on its Instagram page.

Pharrell was pictured front and centre wearing his favourite oversized hat, a white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers.

The singer-songwriter has rarely been seen in public without a version of the Mountain Hat by British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood since he first wore it on the Grammys red carpet earlier this year.

His Grammys hat was just auctioned off to fast-food chain Arby’s for $US44,100 ($A49,091). All proceeds will go to Pharrell’s charity for at-risk teens, One Hand to Another.

Hat shopping: Arby's posted proof of their purchase to Pharrell on Twitter

Pharrell earlier this month busted out a grey version of the $180 sky-high headgear while visiting the BBC Radio 1 studios in London and also donned the grey version at the 86th Academy Awards nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills.

Since his camel-coloured mountain hat made an appearance at the Grammys, Pharrell has sported a pink, a blue and a grey version of the $180 fedora at different occasions.

The hat’s most recent appearance at Sunday night’s Oscar performance resulted in ‘the shimmy seen around the world’ as Pharrell danced with Meryl Streep.
