Um- I just listened to Robin Thicke's new single, Dreamworld. ...I don't even know what to say... Amazing.
I knew that I loved it about 10 seconds into the song. The swinging blues sounds, echo-y hard string guitar, and Robin Thicke using a lower register (well, lower then his usual falsetto) more raspy part of his voice-- what more could a girl ask for?
And as the song went on, the lyrics kept getting better and better. The song ends with references to Van Gogh, Marvin Gaye and touches on the racism he and his stunning wife (Paula Patton from Idlewild) face- or would NOT have to face in his "Dreamworld".
The rhythm he's singing in kinda' reminds me of Bob Dylan (kind of "Like A Rolling Stone"-esque). And the soulful sound has kind of a Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" feel. And with resemblances to songs like the above (some of the best songs ever written)- I can safely say that this in one of my new favorite songs of all time. (That's kind of a big statement for just having heard the song like 5 minutes ago...But I just really like the song. Sometimes I exaggerate.)
Love love love love love love the new single Robin. That's my dreamworld too man. Keep 'em comin'.
I stumbled upon these images of Robin Thicke with Rihanna posing for GQ in late 2007. So, I'm was trying really hard not to post anything about the Rihanna/Chris Brown fiasco. But, what can I do? I was looking up Robin Thicke images- and there she was...
All I really want to say--- is that we love you Rihanna. And love your bad-ass haircut and edgy/sexy style.
And that Chris Brown's career is probably over. I don't think there's any coming back for hiphop's sweetheart (Chris Brown) after biting and punching hiphop's other sweetheart (Rihanna) in the face...multiple times...and then running away...by foot. Not cool dude. And a little weird.
