Since our first attempt at Sneak Peek received a lot of great feedback, I thought, ‘why not try it again.’ Back for another round, Sound Off’s Sneak Peek is bringing you inside the studio for an exclusive preview of Robin Thicke’s new album, Something Else. 

Though we arrived at the studio 30 min. after the original start time, we still managed to snag a couple pics and hear some interesting and intriguing material from the project. Accompanied by dim lights, 4 bottles of wine, and a plethora of candles, I could have sworn I was about to start recording my own R&B album.

Below you can check out a brief description of some of the songs we heard and also a couple of flicks of the session. ENJOY!!

SideStep- An uptempo number driven by a tantalizing bass line, Thicke’s feel good plea of receiving love from his significant other will not only put you and yours on the dance floor, but will also provide you with an old school type of confidence your parents were once accustomed to!

Magic- Accompanied with a barrage of horns and an assortment of congas, “Magic” propels the image of what seems like an inside look at the perfect relationship he and his wife, Paula Patton, have!

Dream World- Painting the perfect atmosphere of what HIS world would consist of, the mellow and melodic tune will initiate the thought process of your very own “Dream World!” Whether it’s an interracial couple walking down the dirt roads of Mississippi, or informing Van Gough he’s missed, Robin covers all corners.

Sweetest Love- Describing a type of love that couldn’t get any sweeter, Thicke’s approach to this subject could easily be pegged as a female favorite. I, for one, will have this song on repeat when in the presence of my significant other.

Mr. Loverman- Any female who’s listened to at least one song from Robin’s catalog probably wonders how the R&B vet fairs as a lover. But since he’s married, you’ll have to do one of two things: listen to this song or just ask his wife Paula Patton. And since a majority of you are equipped with common sense, I’m sure you’ll be listening to the song.
