Robin Thicke - Something Else

Today's "blue eyed soul".  Remember Hall and Oates, The Police, Tears for Fears and on and on?  Remember how much soul they had?  Just take all that and put it in today's music....you have Robin Thicke.  Really this guy is real R&B.  I just felt the need to shout out the white groups with soul from the 80s...ha.  For real this cd is something special.  Robin can sing...or sang.  His production is on the disc is really nice.  He gives you different looks at his abilities - from laid back smooth lounge sound of You're My Baby to the stepping sound on Sidestep.  He throws a percussion filled sound at you like Sade on Ms. Harmony and then hits you with a head boppa on Tie My Hands featuring the special touches of Lil Wayne.  You can lay your lady/man down to the guitar laden Cry No More or reminisce on Marvin Gaye in Loverman...he reminds you a lot of him in this song.  

Something Else to me is just that...something else.  There something on there for everyone.
