Robin Thicke Talks New Album

Robin Thicke is finally back in the studio, recording tracks for his new album “Something Else”. His third album will hit stores in September complemented by a promotional tour beginning in August. The first single titled “Magic” was just released with its track's reminisence of Curtis Mayfield.

Thicke recently caught up with Eurweb to talk about his new project. “It was just the inspiration of the great music of Philly and Motown and the ‘70s and Gamble and Huff," Thicke recently told Eurweb of his style this time. “It feels like when you’re making music you don’t know where it’s coming from anymore. It’s just sort of embedded in your soul."

 

Thicke explained that he always had deep love for music. “I’ve always naturally, organically been connected to soul music. When I was 7 or 8 years old, it started with popular soul music like Michael Jackson and Prince. Then I got into Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and then I started listening to gospel music like Commissioned, John P. Kee and The Clarke Sisters and then I got into rap music and Hip Hop, Mary J. Blige and Jodeci. And then I got into the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Mayfield.”

 

Thicke explained the political message behind the lyrics of his new song “Magic”.

 

“I happened to have written that song when good things were happening to me and I was realizing how much greatness we all have in us and how sometimes the world tries to beat it out of us. Sometimes you’re expressing your vulnerabilities and sometimes you’re expressing your positive nature and that’s what that is. Some of us are searching for something bigger internally. I think my music tends to connect with a lot of those people that are searching for something else.”

 

Furthermore the singer revealed which candidate he will vote for.

 

“I think this music is about what Obama represents – hope and change with a little idealism mixed in. The album is called ‘Something Else’ it represents what we’re going through as a country and a world. It’s time for change; it’s time for hope. It’s time for Barack Obama.”

 

“Something Else” is set to hit stores in September.
