Hello music
lovers! Let’s take a moment to
acknowledge the interesting career of Robin Thicke. While most people refer Thicke to a copy of
Justin Timberlake they sometimes forget that longhaired hippy rocking out on a
bike in the 1999 “When I Get You Alone” video.
Robin Thicke’s career has since gone through multiple detours that led
him to his fifth album that includes the longest-running single on the top of
the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year.
The son of actor AlanThicke did not have much success after his breakthrough single until “TheEvolution of Robin Thicke” album released in 2006. That album captured the change in Thicke’s
appearance and music and went over well with audiences of a diverse
background. His record label took the
safe route of releasing two albums of similar sounds to the public; however,
records sales did match the success Robin Thicke’s 2006 album. Upon the release of Thicke’s recent album,
executives were not as supportive to his up-tempo beats. In a recent interview to Mesfin Fekadu of
APnews.com Thicke stated, “…I went into the record label and I played it for
the heads of the label, head of pop radio ... and everybody just went, 'Nice.
Nice.' Got no response; was kind of surprised by that.”
With the major
success of “Blurred Lines”, his lead single, Thicke has once again successfully
re-invented his sound to capture the attention of a younger audience. The purpose of his new album to have a “good
time” with his fans while delivering the same soulful vibes that people loved
in “The Evolution of Robin Thicke.” I
believe that Thicke is slowly returning to the sounds of his original album
with the loyal fans he has earned over recent years. Do not be surprised if his next album revisits
his funky roots with a mixture of his more popular style.
