    Robin Thicke's first album. I bought this album on a whim after seeing him and his song in a HP computer commercial. Imagine my surprise that my ears were delighted to this unkown treasure. Robin on this CD channels R&B, latin music, and some rock. There are a couple of songs that remind of the Beatles. His debut album is not a radical depature from his later efforts. I think on this album Robin just explored whatever he was feeling at the moment. Beautiful song writing such as Flowers in Bloon, The Stupid Things, and the original Oh Shooter.

    Kevin Bell I know me too. Every time I play Robin, I just shake my head and go "I can't believe this is Mr. Seaver's son singing!" LOL

Description

Japanese version featuring a bonus track: "When I Get You Alone (Dirty Edit featuring Jadakiss)".Comparisons generally stink, but sometimes they're so obvious that they're inevitable. So it is with L.A. native and blue-eyed soul man Robin Thicke. Equal parts Remy Shand and Jamiroquai--though funkier than the former and less knuckleheaded than the latter--Thick's Cherry Blue Skies staggers through the speakers with moxie to spare. Opening track "Oh Shooter"--which finds Thicke drawling lazily while tires screech in the background--is a bait-and-switch for what's to come. By "Sugar Mama," Thicke is outfitted in the proverbial white suit and fedora, slinking around the edges of the groove and wailing in a falsetto like some funk-soul cat from the '70s. Levity plays an essential role in the formula, too; "Make a Baby" is as silly a love song as its title suggests, and "When I Get You Alone" steals wholesale from Walter Murphy's disco-era novelty hit, "A Fifth of Beethoven." But the dance floor is only one destination in Thicke's view. Earnest ballads also appear (notably, the sweetly sentimental, minor-chord lament "The Stupid Things"), and one is again inclined toward another comparison, this time to Stevie Wonder. Funky, jazzy soul-pop, with a touch of salsa in "Vengas Con Migo"; that's as accomplished as it is welcoming. --Kim Hughes
