Robin Thicke

Boudoir bombshells may be the specialty of blue-eyed-soul star Robin Thicke — dig the satin-sheets love call "Sex Therapy," or the bare-naked pleader "Lost Without U" — and his voice may be spun from pure slow-jam sugar, but sweet seduction is just one of the many R&B flavors this multi-platinum, GRAMMY®-winning writer, singer, and producer can cook up. A master mixer of old and new, classic and future-forward, Thicke can conjure a sexy, retro spell with some sultry, Marvinized "Magic," then throw down a fail-safe party-starter like "All Night Long" complete with up-on-it Lil Wayne rhymes and a steamy hit of tropical body heat.

If hushed and fluttery ballads ("2 Luv Birds") and smoldering, lay-it-on-the-line proposals ("Mrs. Sexy") make R&B superstar Robin Thicke a sure-thing lady-killer, the man's way with come-hither musical propositions also makes him the ultimate wing man for everyone from Jay-Z (on the Euro-flavored, jet-setter jam "Meiplé"), to crunk mastermind Pitbull (a beat-heavy ode to "Bad Girls"), to rap renegade Kid Cudi (the get-nasty rock lift-off of "Elevatas"). But while Thicke may have 50 Cent's back on "Follow My Lead," when he's baring it all and begging to be your "Loverman," he makes it clear there's no one in the world but you.

Robin Thicke was born into a celebrity family (Dad is TV star and theme-songwriter Alan, Mom vocalist Gloria Loring). But he's built his own fame his own way, penning tunes for the likes of Christina Aguilera and Marc Anthony before stepping into a solo spotlight that lit up a genius for fresh R&B sounds built on classic foundations and, more importantly, a fierce yet silken voice made for tempting would-be lovers onto dance floors and into bedrooms. With everything from the Philly-brand funk of "Hard On My Love," to the intimate sonic caress of "I Need Love," our Robin Thicke Essentials makes it oh-so easy to start the night out right with club burners like "Shakin' It 4 Daddy (feat. Nicki Minaj)," and then take it all the way to the morning light with slow-burn, feels-so-right tributes like "The Sweetest Love" and the gossamer trip to heaven, "Angels."
