I came across his album and sample all of his songs through this site and I loved what I heard and decided to purchase it. After receiving it and hearing it numerously I say that this album is positively outstanding. Every track is incredible. Thicke's vocals are soulful, silky-smooth, rich and beautiful. The ballads (along with Thicke's vocals) are filled with so much emotion and tenderness. The up-tempo songs make you want to move or simply chill to. He emerges with "The Evolution of Robin Thicke," and gives soul fans something we can revel in. The disc opens with a duet between Robin and 'The First Lady' of R&B Faith Evans. "Got 2 Be Down" finds both artist in tune with each other and proves to be the highlight of the collaborations on the album. The disc presses on through the marvelous "Complicated," In this track the first minute is great and the lyrics are fantastic accompanying piano playing drive this tune. "Would That Make You Love Me?", "Lost Without You" and "Ask Myself" delivers soulful melodies each of these tracks are very smooth and beautiful I can't get enough of them. His collaboration with Lil Wayne on "all Night Long" can be addictive with it's beat the and rhymes. This track threw me off guard in the beginning not because it's high tempo but it swerve me from vibe that I've been getting into. Robin quickly shift back gears by giving us the Latin tinged "Everything I Can't Have". He thought so far outside of the box on this track, and it worked so well! "Teach U A Lesson," is a sexy number and the lyrics are great and naughty at the same time. I'm honestly in love with "I need Love" because Robin put together some great lyrics and the vocal melody in here is just as superior. "Wanna Love U girl" with Pharrell was the first song that I heard from him on the radio almost a year ago and I thought is was pretty average and that hinder me from picking up this album from the beginning. "Can U believe," is ole school and the piano line is simply amazing which makes it another favorite. I can go on with the rest of the tracks in this album but you need to hear it for yourself and the rest of the songs trudges on in similar fine style. I have become a big fan of him and his music. I recommend this album to anyone who's looking for music that will move them and touch their hearts in intimate ways.Read full review

I bought this CD because Robin Thicke's Lyrics are awesome and so close to home emotionally. He takes the whole R & B genre and intertwine it together making pure excellence. I love that he uses hip hop for the younger masses and jazz for the older set. He has made a CD that all will love and want to buy. The lyrics alone are a poets love song. He has reclaimed what R & B had lost which was the joy of making meaningful music. I love everything about this CD. My favorite song is Sky.
I have to say I've always enjoyed how aware he is of the importance of versatility. Several things I enjoyed about his debut album were the vocals, his writing creativity and how different practically every song was. Never got tired of it. When I got his second album I could tell he had more of a contemporary r&b feel and I enjoyed the evolution. The vocals were still there and I appreciated the writing creativity as well. I didn't feel there was as much versatility on this album as was on the last. The vocal variety was still there. I love hearing a song ans wondering if it was him singing because they were differentbut still good. I just felt the organization of the songs (so many of the slow ones being placed together near the end) slowed dow the momentum of it for me. After a while they began to sound the same to me. Still I love the kid and if I can get into the business I'd love to work with him; I hope to see a lot more of him and his music. Hope I can appreciate it too :-)Read full review
