release description

'The Evolution of Robin Thicke,' the second solo album from Grammy award winning Robin Thicke, is filled with incandescent magic. It is an album that tells the tales of love, loss, temptation, redemption and finding hope when all the odds are against you. “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.”

With this intention, Robin created songs such as, “Lost without You” (the second single). An instant classic, this song is about Robin’s insecurities and his need to be desired and loved. With sweeping vocals over rhythmic Spanish guitar, this song takes you away and makes you sing along.

On the psychedelic, “High School Man” is where Robin infuses rock and hip-hop and poetically admits “I’m a hater” as he hates on those with more success than him realizing, ironically, he just wants what they have.

Finishing off 'The Evolution of Robin Thicke' is the hopeful and encouraging “Thank You.” On this gospel inspired, piano ballad Robin sings, “maybe I’m the one who never gets up ‘till he falls,” making the realization that he has to be thankful for everything that comes into his life…the tears, the joy, the failures and the successes.

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.
