Robin Thicke, the award-winning multi-platinum (US) superstar returns to centre stage with SEX THERAPY, a decidedly more R’n’B inspired album in comparison to his three previous albums.
Thicke has long embraced the hip-hop community, and the affection has been reciprocated. Among the guest artists on SEX THERAPY are Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Estelle, Game, and Jazmine Sullivan. Thicke's co-producers for the disc include Polow Da Don, Pro Jay, and Teddy Riley.
"The last album [2008's SOMETHING ELSE] was an ode to my favorite '70s music” Thicke says. “But this new album is really a testament to the hip-hop and soul music that has shaped myself and my generation. I was thinking of artists like R. Kelly, Jodeci, Mary J Blige, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, and Snoop Dogg. I wanted to recreate a combination of the raw sensuality of R. Kelly's 12 Play and the confidence and champagne celebration that the music of Uptown and Bad Boy Records created."
Thicke describes this album as having more of a popular sound. “I really just wanted to go back to what makes me happy and what is fun and just let it happen.” The result is a smooth r hip-hop-esque and fun sounding album that will see Thicke lead his international fanbase into inspired, sexy and refreshing new territory.
