Robin Thicke to Perform Live at J&R Music, Tuesday, December 15th

Robin Thicke will perform and sign his new album, Sex Therepy, at J&R Music, 23 Park Row, Tuesday, December 15th at 12:30 pm.

This is his fourth album, and it takes a substantially different tack than any of his previous records, both musically and thematically. For the first time, Thicke is leavening his classic soul sound with more contemporary R&B, Rock, Electronic and hip-hop influences and collaborators–seen in the presence of guest artists like Jay-Z, Nikki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Estelle, Snoop Dogg, and Game.

Robin explains, “That’s why I realized as I’ve gotten older, more important than anything in my life — money, fame, celebrity, a nice house–what I really need is to have a great relationship and connection with my woman.”

The album does feature instructions for the men and women on how to treat each other and how to make the night sexier–and especially for the men, how to worship the woman, how to tease her, how to tickle her, and how to kiss her correctly.

Robin continues, “So my wife and I have been focused on keeping our relationship sexy and hot and fresh, so we don’t lose the fire between each other, because that’s the only thing that makes the end of the day seem better: our connection with each other.”

Guest artists represent every corner of hip-hop and contemporary urban sounds, both musically and geographically: From the west coast, there’s Snoop Dogg and Game; from the Midwest, Kid Cudi; from the South, there’s Lil’ Wayne’s protege, Nicki Minaj; from the east coast, Jay-Z, of course; and, representing international territories and flavors, England’s Estelle.

Sex Therepy has a tremendous variation in styles, from the De La Soul-goes-tropical feel of “Meiple” (the album’s second single, which features Jay-Z) to the completely stripped down balladry of “2 Luv Birds.” In “Meiple,” “Jay-Z and I take the throwback hip-hop records of the ’80s, like De La Soul and Slick Rick, and take our ladies on a shopping spree through France, where they will be treated like queens.”

If you only heard the album’s initial singles, the temptation might be to assume that the heightened sexuality means this is a less personal album for Thicke than, say, the more obviously introspective Evolution of Robin Thicke album.

Now, after years of begging off acting offers, because he didn’t feel he could handle two careers at once, Thicke has just signed on with Fox for a feature film that is due out in 2011.
