"Complicated" actually ends up being a very simple track but as a man living in the U.S. As much as I like Faith's CDs this track was just an added bonus to be able to hear Robin Thicke and Faith together on a nice midtempo track. "The Evolution Of Robin Thicke" gets off to an excellent start with the Faith Evans' featured "Got To Be Down". However, when you hear music this nice, the last thing I am thinking about is the artist's complexion. When you first listen to the CD you'll think of artists like Jon B and Justin Timberlake because of the "blue eyed soul" mentality. Ladies and gentlemen this CD is phenominal. I'm thinking if those tracks were better than the tracks on this CD, Robin Thicke should have just released a double CD. I read the majority of the reviews for this CD and 2 inparticular caught my eye when they mentioned that there were several songs that Robin Thicke took off of the advanced copy of the CD and made new tracks. So I waited and I waited and I even sat through 's infamous Janurelease date and then finally "The Evolution Of Robin Thicke" was in stores. When I first heard "I Wanna Love You Girl" with Pharrell I knew that Robin's 2nd CD would be a winner. I eventually purchased the CD, but to be honest with you again, is still has the wrapper on it. The track was pretty good, but to be honest with you, it wasn't enough to make me purchase the CD. I was first introudced to Robin Thicke when I heard a track entitled "When I Get You Alone".
The evolution of robin thicke album cover tv#
Hard as it will be for listeners of a certain age to get past knowing that Thicke is the son of Alan Thicke, the actor who did his part to cheese up 1980s TV with the sitcom Growing Pains, they're going to have to: with his fan base swelling by the second, the evolution of Robin Thicke is going to be a deservedly loud one. Despite the range of moods on display, they're all in service to Thicke's inner R&B smoothie, and they all brush up against the ear with something like affection.
By the time we reach the long, sweeping lullaby that is the final track, "Angels," we've also had a taste of Thicke's swaggering side ("I Need Love," "Cocaine"), his hip-hop loving side ("All Night Long" and "Shooter," both with Lil Wayne), and the side that fantasizes about 1950s Latin ballrooms ("Everything I Can't Have," a hot tamale of a number that commands a visual if ever there was one: it's impossible to hear this song without imagining a raven-haired woman with a red rose between her teeth).
But even though it took one blue-eyed soulster with a hot look and an achy falsetto to bang down the door for another, Thicke presents a convincing case here that he had the goods to get us grooving all along: Evolution is a classy disc that tiptoes up to its listeners, first with an elegant duet with Faith Evans ("Got 2 Be Down"), next with a slick lament that wouldn't sound out of place on a Boyz II Men disc ("Complicated"), and then with a sweet plea that commands a finger-snap ("Would That Make U Love Me"). Timberlake is to Robin Thicke what 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys were to a band like O-Town, in fact: he pretty much made it all possible. R&B with tempo: Justin Timberlake resurrected it, and it's proving way more influential than that other lost commodity-sexy-he claimed to be bringing back in 2006 on FutureSex/LoveSounds. Reflective, redemptive, passionate and etched with a soulfulness that is undeniable, The Evolution of Robin Thicke is an imaginative and heart-felt album that you cannot help but be moved by, bob your head to and smile throughout.įEATURING GUEST APPEARANCES BY Faith Evans, Pharrell, and Lil' Wayne PRODUCTION BY The Neptunes "My greatest desire with this album was to write songs that were completely honest and sing them with the emotion I was feeling when I wrote them, so that whoever listens to my music is brought as close to my experiences and life as possible." It is an album that tells the tales of love, loss, temptation, redemption and finding hope when all the odds are against you. The album is filled with incandescent magic. With a voice of purity, passion and soulfulness, Robin brings to life the stories and emotions of the last two years of his life. The Evolution of Robin Thicke is the second solo album from the critically acclaimed, Grammy award winning songwriter and producer of records for such artists as Michael Jackson and Christina Aguilera.
