Robin Thicke was a sophisticated gentleman before he released his fourth album – ‘Sex Therapy’. The title track had kept his fan wonder what he was up to for his just released album. Yes, he’s more than a crooner this time. He’s a playboy, a kinky lover or even a love doctor, switching role in different. It’s been a long while since anyone sing about having fun in bed after Madonna’s ‘Bedtime Story’. Sexual explicit lyrics, woman’s whispering and teasers are all over the album. Be prepared to be stimulated by songs like ‘Sex Therapy’, ‘Make You Love Me’, ‘I Got You’ and ‘Jus Right’. You can still have some doses of Thicked’s style ballad. ’2 Luv Birds’ is exactly the sequel of ‘The Sweetest Love’.
This is a star-studded album as Robin Thicke is a three grammy awards winning producer himself. Snoop Dog, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Jazmine Sullivan, Estelle and Game are all featured in this must have album for the honeymooners at the beach resorts. I was saying this simply not because there are some bossa nova infused tracks. Mr. Thicke had written this album based on his love life with his wife who was his high school sweet heart. It’s a journey of resdiscovering the sparks that keep love afresh after many years together. He wants to do an album with the Influences of music he’s growing up listening to – R. Kelly’s ’12 Play’, Prince, Jodeci and Mary J. Blige. Apparently, he had impressed me more than he should, because we have just named this the ‘Album of the year’ of Innitmagazine. 9/10
