Robin Thicke: Evolving Soul
Between Teena Marie and Justin Timberlake –
though some may agree his black card was revoked during to
the legendary 2004 wardrobe malfunction! - there have been
few white artists who could successfully break into the
selective and critical world of R&B/Soul music. However,
if there is anyone who can make that leap almost
effortlessly, it is the bountiful soul artist Robin
Thicke.
Sound a bit familiar? Robin Thicke is the artist formerly
known as Thicke, who made a light splash with his 2002
release Beautiful World, which garnered critical
acclaim and musically matched soul artists at the time like
Musiq, India Arie and Jill Scott.
Still sound familiar? Robin Thicke is the son of Alan
Thicke, one of the most beloved television fathers from
the 1980s sitcom Growing Pains. Robin Thicke is
returning to music with his first and last name, a fresh
sound and an album titled The Evolution of Robin
Thicke, which will hit stores this Valentine’s Day.
His first single, “I Wanna Love You Girl,” which he wrote
and produced with Pharrell Williams, is already
creating a buzz on radio stations across the country.
left Don’t think because Robin is the son of a big-time
television dad that his road to the music industry has been
paved in sitcom-esque gold. Robin stresses he received no
breaks because of his last name, “In music there’s no
connection to sitcom television unless you’re Eve and you
were already in music. Sometimes in movies and TV you can
get by on good looks and charm, but in music you still
gotta be able to put down a record – so there was no help.
My father encouraged me to learn and grow, but he didn’t
encourage me to be a star. I always had my own path and
followed.”
Robin does have an illustrious path in the music industry
having written and produced for artists such as Usher,
Mary J. Blige and Michael Jackson. Robin’s own
journey as a singer/songwriter has been complex and full of
life lessons. “I had a record deal when I was very young
and it took seven years from the time I had my first deal
for the first album to come out. I was afraid of failing
and had a fear of people not liking the music as much as I
did. I had long hair and was calling myself Thicke, and I
was still kind of hiding … where I’m at out now is maturing
and learning, as we all do - we get more comfortable in our
skin. That’s why I called the new album The Evolution of
Robin Thicke because it’s about a person, like all of
us, whose growing and trying to be a better person in every
way.”
Robin’s “evolution” as an artist is evident in the new
album, and as a newly singed artist to Pharrell’s Star
Trak Records, he owes a large part of his growth to
Pharrell Williams. “He was a fan of my music and we hooked
up. He’s been a huge help to me in finishing the album.
Pharrell is God sent and I’m lucky to be associated with
such talent.”
The new album also includes songs with Lil’ Wayne
and Faith Evans.
With a complete reinvention, it is almost as if Robin Thicke
is a born-again artist, still soulful, passionate and raw,
but presenting a more exposed, uninhibited version of
himself. “Evolution is about somebody who is soul
searching, who’s got demons, drugs, sex, temptation and
problems that he’s trying to make it through. At the end,
he is appreciative that he can sing it all. it’s a tale of
things that every person goes through.”

I think that he is a great artist and I wish the best for him in his life and hope that he keeps comming out with more albums. This is one artist that I can truely support and will buy the music in the stores. It does not hurt that he is hot as well.

Robin Thicke is a fake. The music rhythmn on his song 'Lost without you' was copied from a Cuban Singer: Frank ?. This highway robbery. USA will not let Cuban come here, but we can go there and rip off their music, record it and make millions.

Moe says:
Just got the album last weekend. Its the S**T!! From the first song w/Faith Evans (arguably my favorite song on the CD), its just a banger. Its so nice to hear some REAL R&B in todays hip-hop w/a side of R&B world. There is not a bad song on the CD. How often can you say that?
And I give this CD the nod over Justin's CD (which is an awesome CD in itself, but contribute that more to Timbaland than JT) because his influence and not someone else's is all over the CD. Quality work.

Nita says:
I LOVE this CD, I have it copied wherever I can listen to music. My friend had 1 of his songs on her Myspace page and I didn't really listen it until I came home 1 day and saw the Lost without u video...blew my freakn mind and then I got the CD... totally floored. To be perfectly honest I have not been obsessed with a CD in a very long time and his voice is very captivating. I love the fact that his voice changes on every song. There is no comparing him to JT and I also love JT too. But Robin's voice goes beyond the color of his skin, he is truly soulful in every sense of the word.

Robin Thicke has made one of the best R&B Albums i have ever heard, he has one of the most outstanding vocal ranges and hits notes like its nothing. His album is crazy. He has a variety of songs that any kind of audience would love. "I Need Love" is the song that every man alive wish they could have made for their woman, Keep it up Robin you my boy!

Amera says:
I absolutely LOVE this CD. The first time I saw "I Wanna Love You Girl" video, I have to admit that I was a little skeptical. I kept saying to my boyfriend that his face looks very familiar like he is related to Alan Thicke. My coworker later informed me that he was his son. I finally went out and bought the CD and I cannot stop listening to it. My favorites are "Shooter" and "2 the Sky". Especially "2 the Sky". That is the song that touches me the most. He is really the one to bring SEXY BACK!

I heard him on the radio and fell in love with the song. I googled him and found out that he is married to the beautiful Paula Patton , who I loved in Idel Wild and De ja Va.

Even grandmothers can love and appreciate Robin Thicke. When I saw him perform on a Late Show a few weeks ago, (singing "Lost Without You") it almost blew me away - I couldn't find his CD the next day, and had to order it. At the same time I was searching for "Evolution of Robin Thicke" another woman was also looking through the "T's" and I had to ask her who she was looking for. She, too, was looking for the same album. and said that the last three stores she went to, were out. Keep singing, beautiful one!!!

Many years ago :) I grew up watching Robin Thicke's Mom on the soaps, and then watched his Dad on his sitcom; now I am a fan of Robin!!! I had not heard his music, until Dec, 2006 when I heard "Lost Without You" on 105.7 in Richmond, VA, and his voice blew me away. At that time, they didn't say who the artist was, but I knew I had to find out; and, that I had to get that CD. Love this "blue eyed soul" baby boy--wish I was 17 years younger (no disrepect to his wife)--he shares my birthday.

azucarmorena says:
I have been living out of the US for a few years and I went home for Christmas. My sister pulls up the video of "lost without you" on the internet and asks me if I knew Alan Thicke had a son who is a singer. I was totally blown away when I saw the video. I kept watching it over and over, and was more impressed each time. He is one fine-looking papi who can sing some good lyrics!!!!! I made sure I bought a copy of his CD before leaving the States and it hasn't left my CD player. I haven't been this excited over a singer in a loooong time. I mean, I have almost every song memorized, and have been telling everyone about it. He is a true artiste and his music is a refreshing change from the same R&B tunes you hear over and over. I have heard him being compared to a Justin Timerlake, but I actually think he's a mix between Jon B and Chris Isaac, both of whom came up with some creative music but never really blew up. I hope Robin Thicke doesn't just stay under the radar of music lovers, but if he does, he has a fan for life in me!

I never heard of Robin Thicke until 2 weeks ago, I was listening to the Steve Harvey show and Steve was really promoting him, then when I found out he was Alan Thicke's son, I still could not beleive it, I thought you were black, your voice is sooo beautiful and soulful. I am glad that you came out strong, look forward to more awesome music from you. A fan for life!

Everybody wonders whats the change, they dont recognize me cuz I got so much to say"-Superman
I just heard some unreleased tracks on a fansite that were initially on the pre-release...cuts like Superman & High School Man have no business not being heard.
Even though his CD is not really selling,it's a pure effort. The people who do have it know it's honesty & not overproduced 'beats are the star' type of album.

LSD says:
Phenomenal! This guy is bad. I was listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show (KDAY) and was just impressed by this artist. He brings it from a place that is genuine. His lyrics come from a place of experience, not grandeur. To hear some of the things that led him to create the songs, you can tell his music is about being present in your own life. Big shout out to him and his girlfriend too. Whoever she is, I pray she appreciates him and makes unpacking her luggage a secondary priority...then again, if another delicious song will be birthed from her "neglience", maybe she should buy another piece of luggage take a longer trip and make him wait even longer for some... ;)

I am totally obsessed with Robin Thicke. The first time I heard "Lost Without You" I almost started crying because the lyrics were so touching and the brother was singing his heart out! I had to buy the cd on my lunch hour and I have been listening to it on my work computer, in the car, at home, on my ipod. Did I say I was obsessed? Thanks Robin for the breath of fresh air for R&B music.

Tab says:
I heard Robin Thicke on the Steve Harvey Morning show. I had heard the song before, but had not idea who sang it. I just automatically thought it was a black R&B singer. I was surprise to hear of Robin Thicke. Steve Harvey kept saying that he looked exactly like his father so I was dying to see how he looked. I was a die hard Growing Pains fan. They played two of his songs and they both were great. I cannot wait to get that CD. He puts me in the mind of Jon B.

Best birthday present I ever received; what a pleasant surprise..had heard a couple of songs while watching the videos (lost w/o you) there are some serious R&B/soul gems on this album.. "angels" is a work of musical art. Many a true soul lover will appreciate some of these songs.. finally a white guy that understands and can sing soul music and really do it justice...

I happened across Robin one night when my Granddaughter and Grandson was watching videos. I was reading and decided to look up to see who was this black man, and I looked right in the face of Robin Thicke. The first thing I said after catching my breath, was that kid looks like Alan Thicke (who is one of my favorite people) and that's when I saw his name and I new then that was his son. This kid has a wonderful voice. Mellow and Suave. Keep up the good work kid and may God bless your present and future.

Smurdnick says:
Blessings to you, Robin. Your Canadian Pops (Alan) provided an environment where you could thrive on a level we often don't see in The States and you showed that you have what it takes. Robin has proven that if you truly respect the music and the people you're "imitating," you can do it correctly. Conversely, people like JT cash in on what is popular...period. Look at what he did to his "friend" Janet Jackson when the chips were down...fake. He didn't speak up for her on any level when things were hot. He would never date a sister either. Everybody wants to do Soul Music, but few have what it takes to actually sit down and listen, then take it a few steps beyond that and actually figure out what is the essence of what they are listening to in order to do it "right." Singers (like JT) don't do that but great musicians (like Robin) do! There's nothing magic about the components of Robin's music, but because most people miss the essential elements of good music (just watch the grammys for the evidence), people think of his work as mystical...I know who you've been listening too, my Canadian Brother, because I've grown up listening to the same people. We are musical Kindred Spirits. I hope to have the honor of working with you musically one day. You'll know me by my music.

I had NO clue that the "wanna love you girl" guy was the same dude riding the bike in the beethoven sampled "when I get you alone". I know most of you are just like me, so you'll have to google that video & then the lightbulb will go off.
After FINALLY listening to his new stuff, "evolutiion" is the perfect title. The first album was more experimental, not for everyone unless your open to it.
Yet this album was FULL OF SOUL. People keep comparing him to JT, but thats kind of a diss because all he & JT have in common is that they're both white (another thing I had to get used to).
Truthfully, Robin THicke is more on the mature tip, in the vein of Danny Hathaway with RAW lyrics. So refreshing to listen to an artist that actually has LYRICAL CONTENT. I preferred the original "oh shooter" on Thicke's first album without Weezy, but nothing takes away from this work. I was late on dude's bandwagon, but he is the truth. Like a freakin breath of fresh air in R&B right now. AND he's a musician. WHy dont more people know about him?

I heard "Lost Without You" a couple of times on the radio and completely freaked out. Who is THAT?! After the second time I rushed to the CD store, described the song, and walked out with the CD. I hear clear influences of music artists with fierce trak records: Michael Jackson; Michael Franks; Earth, Wind & Fire; Mambo Artists; Brazilian Artists. He is more than a singer. He is a musician. Other young singers being compared to him wish they had the talent he has! Robin, you are the man of my dreams! It is unusual for the music industry to reward true talent like yours...

I first heard Robin Thicke's "Lost Without Out You" on the Steve Harvey Morning Show this past Thursday. He played it again on Friday morning, and I was in love. It's one of the best songs I've ever heard. I spent yesterday tracking down his CD, and I've been playing it constantly. I'm telling all my friends about him.

I think Robin Thicke is a breath of fresh air to the R&B/Soul world. I listen to this CD, every morning and night, when I take a shower. It's relaxing and his voice just takes you there - better than Calgon. You go boy!

I love this CD. I love every single song on the CD. I can't get enough of it. I have told everyone that I know that this is a must have, classic to add to their collection. I hope that someone starts putting more effort into promoting this album because everyone needs to know about his talent and I don't think I can continue it all on my own!

I heard "lost without u" and thought to myself "Wow" "finally a good soulful Marvin Gaye type singer". I wanted to hear more so I started asking around when a friend told me that it was a white guy named Robin Thicke. After I picked my jaw up from the ground, I found the cd and bought it. The CD is packed with hit after hit. My fav: "Teach U", but really the whole CD is great.

If you take the lyrical/vocal talents of Stevie Wonder,Donnie Hathaway,Marvin Gaye and sprinkle it with a little Elton John you have Mr Thicke.....this is a slept on talent I have just discovered in December by accident and it was the best mistake I have ever made. I eat sleep and breath this cd and anyone who enjoys love inspiring music and deep lyrics would be smart to add this to their collection....this is by far a classic in my book..

Sendin' out my aloha and support to Rob Thicke. I first heard the name Robin Thicke when he produced for Jordan Knight about 10 years ago, but never heard the guy sing till I came across the "Wanna Love U Girl" remix feat. Busta Rhymes. Since then, I cannot get enough of his beautiful voice and musical talent. Hope he explodes onto the music scene in '07. Continued success!

3 words: I need love.
Sexiest song ever, hands down. I saw him in 2002 riding his bike on tv & I was like, damn. He can sing. Looks can be deceiving, & hopefully he goes far. I love the oh shooter video he did with lil wayne as well, although the original version is good as well. He's just a extraordinarily talented man & I can't wait for more music from him. 2 cds are not enough. I want to be collecting his music for a long time to come.

On 12/29/06 I woke out of my sleep when I heard his video on BET late night. I am going to go buy his album today. I use to think his father was a good looking man but Robin looks even better. He has a sexy smooth voice. It makes me want to dance and have sex all night long. I am surprised and I look forward to listening to the cd.

Carolyn says:
I didn't know Robin existed until several weeks ago when I watched the video "Lost Without you" with my teen daughter. We both looked at each other in amazement over how beautiful and soulful his voice was. I ran out and purchased his cd. Let me tell you that of all the cds I've purchased over the last several years, his is the best with Remy Shand being a close second.
It appears that Robin is getting more pubicity with this second cd than with his first, but he is so deserving of much more. As a former singer and mother of an aspiring singer, I am really disappointed that an artist this talented can be overlooked for so long. Please spread the word about Robin. We can't depend on the radio because they only want to promote certain artists and certain types of songs. His cd is not available in enough stores. I could not find it at Target. Only one music store in my area had it. Some of my co-workers had trouble finding the cd as well, so I went out and bought the cd for them. One last thing, on Christmas day I gave the cd to my son as a present, but my stepdaughter who had only heard one cut from the cd talked my son into giving it to her after hearing the first two songs on the cd. My son gave her the cd only after I promised to buy him another one.

I can't say enough about the new album - it is fresh air for the ears! I love the fact that all the songs on this album make your ears perk up and want to listen to see what is coming up next. The complexity is amazing - can't wait till you come back to Dallas!

I absolutely adore Robin Thicke's music. And as an 'Old head' with leanings towards Prince I really appreciate an artist who dares to be different as uncompromising...He is the epitome of what music should evoke when you hear it. With him, India, Christina, John, and Corinne....

I remember watching Robin Thicke's video "When I get you alone" and thinking that he is a very talented singer. Once I heard the second single "Lost without You!" I was glad to hear he had came back and dropped another album. The album is very good and it is in constant rotation in my CD player. I hope that he has continued success with the Evolution of Robin Thicke!

I am 52 years old and my daughter introduced me to your music. I find your voice amazing and refreshing from all the repetitive Hip-Hop music of today. Reviewing the comments referring you to Justin Timberlake-two different styles, no comparison.
When I purchased your CD it came with AOL Music Video an added bonus.
It's nice to feel my purchase was worth every penny. Good luck young man.

I've been a fan of Robin's since he dropped his first album in 2002 and have been waiting for him to drop something new. He truly is talented and real. There aren't many CD's that I actually sit and listen through the whole thing, but when this guy sings- I just can't get enough. He's not going anywhere for a loooong time!

I've been in love with Robin Thicke and his voice since the Sprite commercial. There's something very sensual and soothing about his voice. Which by the way is a lot more refined than Mr. Timberlake. Although JT is doing his thing. If you haven't picked up The Evolution of Robin Thicke, then you are missing out on something very, very special. Much respect to you Mr. Thicke. Keep it coming.

It's hard to believe Robin is not an African American artiste, he's a really soulful singer. When I first heard " wanna love you girl" I thought now here's a danceable music, but then I heard lost without you and I fell in love with the artiste, YES ROBIN I'M IN LOVE. I know you will go far in your music. Thanks for keeping it real.

Robin's music is very unique like Musiq's which I do enjoy. I hope to hear from him for years to come. We need something unique more than ever. These artist coming out now copy each other too much.

Have to say one of the most talented true artist out there today. Wish more artist would follow what this young man is doing. Its great to hear real music making a come back. The days of Marvin Gaye, Donna Hathaway, and so on. The studio artist such as the Brittney's and Jessica Simpson types(who can't sing at all and are only studio artist) should really take a serious look at what this guy is doing. A True talent shines! ROBIN keep making GOOD MUSIC kid! Music that will last for years to come.
