Artist: Robin Thicke
Album: Sex Therapy: The Experience
Release Date: 12.15.09

The doctor is definitely IN on Robin Thicke’s new album Sex Therapy: The Experience — and an experience is exactly what this is, exposing the carnal side of Thicke in a smooth collection of babymakers, ballads and even some uptempo bangers. Sex Therapy delivers hit after hit of sultry and seductive R&B but adds enough versatility to make this a well-rounded album. With guest appearances from Jay-Z, Estelle, Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi and The Game, this album truly is an experience – guaranteed to upgrade your sex game and, quite possibly, the population.

In crooner-mode, Thicke delivers some of his best songs (as expected), including the album’s lead single and title track Sex Therapy. Million Dolla Baby ushers in more smoothness with a sample of Marvin Gaye’s Trouble Man and highlights Thicke’s penchant for “making it rain”; with Jazmine Sullivan on the hook it’s a perfect match. The content gets a bit milder towards the end of the album with tracks like 2 Luv Birds and Jus Right showing a more sensitive, less lust-driven Thicke. Diamonds is the final cut on this version of the album, it features The Game and pays tribute to the moms, a nice closer.

Don’t let the smooth taste fool you: Robin Thicke may be a master of the slow jams but he’s not lost under the beat when the album picks up pace. Hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z brings some heat to Meiple, a track with some interesting wordplay and a crazy contribution from Hov. Barbie-girl Nicki Minaj serves up the sexiness on Shakin It For Daddy and Kid Cudi steps in on one of the album’s standouts Elevatas, adding to the song’s rock-star vibe. Rollercoaster sounds ready for the runway with a guest appearance from Estelle. Snoop Dogg mellows things out on It’s The Morning, an homage to the ever-enjoyable morning sex (one of my favorites…).

Sex Therapy: The Experience is an intense album – there are a lot of intimate cuts here, but they’re balanced with his more emotion-filled songs towards the end. The delivery is smooth, partly due to Robin Thicke’s vocal control and efforts to make good use (not over-use) of his falsetto. Not only do I highly recommend this album, I’d venture to say it’s one of the best male R&B releases this year. Naturally, some songs are stronger contenders than others but there’s not a bad cut on the album at all. Besides, it’s the time of year where you need to keep warm and this album will definitely improve the experience…

Sound-Savvy rates Sex Therapy: The Experience with 4.5 out of 5 platinum headphones.

Ludacris blazes this remix but, then again, doesn’t Luda blaze everything? Robin Thicke’s Sex Therapy album is in stores now and while it doesn’t include this version, Luda does the damn thing anyway! *Denzel voice* My man…

Clearly Robin Thicke pulled out all the stops with the Sex Therapy album and Cudi’s been making his rounds on the feature circuit. Elevatas is yet another nice hit record from Thicke who’s new album is shaping up to be something good… REAL good. I must admit, I wasn’t too keen on the last album, but I’ve got a better feeling about this one. Come on Robin, don’t let me down… Sex Therapy and the deluxe edition Sex Therapy: The Experience in stores December 15

Audio: Elevatas

Never did I ever imagine that the art of the woo would come down to expressing the desire to drop a seed in a dimepiece. The lineup on this track makes it an all-star R&B hit, and it WILL appear on his forthcoming Untitled album, releasing December 1st.

Sounds like Robin Thicke has another hit on his hands teaming up with Jay-Z for Meiple. The title is a catchy play on words and so is the rest of the song. And who else to bless this record but the best in the game, Mr. Empire State himself, Jay-Z. It’s clear that Mr. Thicke ain’t holdin back on this new album Sex Therapy, set to hit stores December 8.

Damn… beautiful women everywhere in this video… Lay Back is the latest in a long line of singles from Ross’ third studio album entitled Deeper Than Rap. Nice vocals by Mr. Thicke as well…

What I love most about Dreamworld is the realness of it. Just listening to the bluesy instrumental transports me back to the glory days of Motown. Beyond that, the lyrics are like a page right out of Thicke’s own life. You can hear this track on his latest album, Something Else. Initially I wasn’t feelin’ this song when I heard his album, but there’s an intimacy to this video that brings the whole concept to life, and the performance clips seem very genuine so it’s grown on me.
