Corporate Line: After cutting his professional teeth behind the scenes, producing tracks for popular artists like Marc Anthony and Brian McKnight, Thicke is now ready to step center stage with his own musical vision. “For a while, I just thought I’ll produce and write for other people,” says Thicke. “It wasn’t until the last year and a half that I decided I’ve got to put it all on the line. I’ve got to commit every day and every note to my album.”
The Good:
“When I Get You Alone” – Rips Walter Murphy’s disco hit, “A Fifth of Beethoven” and doesn’t expand much upon it.
“I’m A Be Alright” – You’ve heard it in a commercial for somebody.
“Lazy Bones” – Nice little track that comes almost too late.
The Mediocre:
Tracks 1-4, 6 and a few more. These tracks don’t expand on soul whatsoever and sound more like a white boy trying to be something he isn’t.
“Make A Baby” – Almost good if it weren’t for the lameness of the title and having to hear Thicke sing that he wants to go and make a baby.
The Bad:
Nothing sticks out as bad, but much stands out as boring.
Frankly: Remy Shand has soul. Jamiroquai has it too, but on a whole different level. Thicke has a smooth voice, but the songs don’t get you jumping. Two tracks are really all you’ll get and the rest, well, you will soon forget.
