Album Review: Robin Thicke's Sex Therapy

This Tuesday, December 15, Robin Thicke will release his greatest album to date, arguably the best R&B / soul album of the past decade. DO NOT take the previous sentence lightly! Robin Thicke is back with his somewhat anticipated new release, "Sex Therapy". The only reason I say "somewhat anticipated" is because I have seen limited promo for the album. I can, however, say that the lead single of the same name as the album has been getting steady airplay on the radio. Whoever told Thicke to step away from the piano and make a concept album about sex deserves a gold medal. Do note that there are two versions of the album; "Sex Therapy: The Sessions", and the deluxe edition, where five additional tracks are mixed in rather than tagged at the end, "Sex Therapy: The Experience".
The album starts off with club bangers such as "Sex therapy", "It's in the Morning", and "Shakin' it for Daddy". Trust, you have never heard Robin Thicke like this before. With production from Polow Da Don, Teddy Riley, and Rich Skillz, Thicke utilizes the first half of the album to establish his self as a force to be reckoned with. He definitely makes an effort to get you dancing, and he succeeds [at least with me]. The album incorporates sultry voice-overs from wife Paula Patton [hes the doctor, shes the nurse], and she even gets her own fairly lengthy interlude, "Start With A Kiss" that precedes the second half of the album where Thicke somewhat pays homage to the early Sergio Mendes sound. After listening to this half, I must say, I see Robin Thicke in a whole new light [he even has his first parental advisory warning lol]. The man might be a pimp! Thicke closes the album with "Diamonds" featuring The Game. This song is used to compare women to diamonds. After naming various prominent women such as Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Queen LaTifa, Michelle Obama, and Paula Patton, its clear that Thicke has a serious case of jungle fever. "Sex Therapy" includes features from Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Estelle, Jazmine Sullivan, and The Game.
Overall, I would give "Sex Therapy" four and a half stars out of five. After years of playing the role of underdog, Robin Thicke is definitely on the road to legendary status. I predict years later people will remember Thicke as one of the greats. Check the video for the lead single below.

New Music: Robin Thicke feat. Jay-Z - Me I Play

I kinda like this, and then I kinda don't. I guess it can grow on me but the jury is still out. I do like the clever use of french in the background to make noises that sound like English swear words. Listen for yourself and watch the recording of after the jump.

WTF??? I really don't like this, and I hope its not an attempt by Thicke to land on the Hot 100. Whatever happened to production from the Neptunes?

This is definitely the type of music Robin Thicke should be making. He could be the next Marvin Gaye.

Robin Thicke "Something Else"

Vibe Mag, Racist?

In a recent interview with Billboard Mag, blue-eyed soul singer Robin Thicke claimed that he couldn't get the cover of Vibe Magazine because he is white.

"When I did a recent interview with Vibe magazine I asked, “Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe.” Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem. I guess if that’s what it is, it is what it is. And I respect that because I live in a house with a black woman.
I won’t use the word “racism.” I will say it’s a tough — but rewarding — fight. I look at Mary J. Blige, somebody who has had only a few pop hits and yet has changed culture, generated new sounds and inspired leagues of artists. She’s now a worldwide phenomenon. And it’s because of what she stood for; she never gave up. She kept making great music, pouring her heart out to people.
You can’t always expect people to be as color-blind or open-minded as you want. What you can do is keep giving your heart and soul, like Bob Marley did. His music became so overwhelmingly loving; it was a relentless love in a sense. Keep beating them down with love and they can’t stop you."

Hmmm..... I think I'm gonna have to call bullsh*t on the part of Vibe Magazine. Really, what would it look like if another publication refused to give an artist the cover because they were Black or Latino? It would look like racism!
