Album Description
Robin Thicke is primed and ready for Something Else. "It was like everyone was saying the same things, worried about the same things and I just felt we needed something different right now. I asked myself do I have a light? What is that light? How can I spread it, share it and turn it into a Puff Daddy white linen Miami Beach party?" After his highly acclaimed 1.5 million selling album "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" garnering the smash hit "Lost Without U", a tireless schedule of touring and appearances Robin needed to sit back, reflect on the last 2 years and start anew. "On the last album I wanted to let people into my walk of life and connect my life to them and this album is more about involving great minds, hearts and spirits around me. When I started writing songs I was already embracing people and now I just wanted to dance and laugh with them". With that spirit driving the creative process Robin has penned some of the best songs of his career from the retro meets modern groove of the first single "Magic", the upbeat celebration of "Sidestep" to the picturesque "Dreamworld" he is taking the listener on a musical journey that is truly unique, sexy and invigorating. Something Else is exactly the kind of record that the world needs right now to feel inspired again.

 HE DOES IT AGAIN! January 7, 2009
Robin Thicke does it again. He has so much SOUL, it is unbelieveable. I am looking forward to his next CD already, can't get enough!
Fantastic piece of work... January 3, 2009
I am saddened that I didn't jump on this album sooner. I loved "The Evolution" and thought he couldn't top or even come close to the greatness of that album. I have been proven wrong and can't stop listening to "Loverman".
excels in consistency January 3, 2009
This is a very well done R&B album, and I give it the same rating as I would the original (Evolution of Robin Thicke) but it earns that distinction in a markedly different way.
Evolution impressed by having extraordinary stand out tracks (Can U Believe, 2 the Sky, Complicated, Teach U A Lesson, I need love and of course Lost without U) it also had songs that I skip over till today (Cocaine, Shooter, All Night long ...). My gripe with Evolution was that the pacing of the album is not so hot ... it goes from a nice slow jam like "I need love" to the craptastic "Wanna love u Girl" to the awesome "Can U Believe" back to "Shooter" and "Cocaine"
However, with "Something Else" what you get is a more mature and solidly R&B album than Evolution. The songs that resemble each other in tempo tend to cluster together more instead of being sprinkled all through the album ... and it makes for a more consistent listening experience.
None of the songs here really reach the heights of the ones on Evolution (standouts include Cry no more, Tie my hands, Loverman, Dreamworld, Ms Harmony) but they are pretty darned good.
The fact that the lows on this album aren't as 'low' as on Evolution, makes up for the fact that its highs are not as 'high' as on Evolution ... and thats okay with me, because it makes the album seem more complete.
enjoy.
This Brother Is Truly "Something Else" January 2, 2009
Great CD!!! Robin Thicke is a truly remarkable singer/songwriter who invokes memories of the late great Marvin Gaye!!! As I listened to this CD, especially "Ms. Harmony", "Sweetest Love" and "You're My Baby", I was quietly swept back to the days when Marvin was soothing and grooving the world with his angelic voice. Kudos to you Mr Thicke, you have made me a huge fan!!!
Excellent Artist for the Family to listen to... December 23, 2008
I enjoyed listening to Robin's single and the album is even better. Hope that you enjoy too.
