In a recent interview with radio.com Robin Thicke talked about his new album “Blurred Lines” which happens to be the same title of the his latest single. Robin declared that his forthcoming sixth studio album will be one of Fun, & Feel Good music all around for ALL ears. Having acquired low record sales with his fifth studio album “Love & War’ Robin Thicke says:
“I’ve always written and produced my own music,” he said. “My last album didn’t sell very well — in fact, not at all. I thought to myself, ‘Maybe I’m just being selfish and I want all the credit and I want everybody to love me and know how great I am and all this BS.’ And then I realized, this time, I’m not going to do it all on my own. I’m going to hire some of the great hitmakers in the business and try to make some music everybody can enjoy instead of just my small fanbase.”
On the new album, Robin Thicke scooped up producers, Pharell, Dr. Luke, Timbaland, and Will.I.Am. Hi next single entitled “Give It 2 U” will debut shortly and it features west coast rapper, Kendrick Lamar. When ask of the new single Robin says:
“It’s very exciting,” Thicke said of the “Give It 2 U.” “It’s very Michael, Jackson, Prince but also pretty hip-hop. It’s a big, shiny pop record. It’s fun.”
On the new album Robin says that he’s taken a different approach on song-writing than his previous songs.
“I’ve written so many songs about my insecurities, my fears, my failures, my relationship problems, my personal issues, my issues with God and the universe,” he explained. “I’ve written about everything. I think that’s why this album I was like, ‘I don’t want to write about myself anymore. I just want to write stuff that makes people feel good.’ This is the most fun, feel-good music. I’ve ever made.”
When asked about his favorite track off the album Robin says:
“There’s a song called ‘Top of the World’ and that’s kind of how I feel right now. Everything that is happening is so incredible.”
