ROBIN THICKE’S NEW ALBUM
Speaking of Robin Thicke…He’s preparing to release a single from his next album this summer and the full-length release in the fall.
While promoting his upcoming concert with J. Hud, he said he’s got about 15 new songs and that he’s been working with a variety of producers instead of doing all the work himself:
“I always wanted to be like Prince and write and produce myself. This time I’m not trying to take all the credit…and work with a lot of the best producers in the business. So my sound is going to be a lot different than anything I’ve ever done before. The sound I’m getting is brand new for me. It’s great.” Source
He said with “this crazy new sound”, he’s “really stretching the ceiling a little bit with an open mind, and the results have been wonderful”. Can’t wait!
