I Need Love is a definite mood-setter. Love that song.

I want to like it, but somehow it's just anti-climatic for me confused

It was on the radio this morning...I changed the station
If you will, so will I

Definate yay. Dude's CD is inconsistant, though. That garbage single he started out with (the Pharrell duet) was a bad move and the song with Lil' Wayne was a step up but not strong enough to help him the way he needs it. This is a better move, although it seems like a saving-face move on the label's part.

Have you heard Robin's version of Shooter without Lil Wayne?
It's pretty nice, To me it's more sonically interesting than his current single
If you will, so will I

Yeah, I've heard both versions. I don't mind Shooter so much. Its just a shame that labels are more interested in pitching a pop star rather than an artist. Robin is more talented than they are letting him show. I could tell that from his first release. I'm not saying he's great but he's better than they are letting him show. "When I Get You Alone" was a really good start but "Wanna Love You Girl" is garbage. His tracks aren't strong enough to give Justin a run for his money, which is probably what his label would like to do.

Yay BUT it's been out for so long due to early leakage (and i'm talkin' over a year leakage) so i hope the lable uses it as exta promo 4 the album and go for another hot song and promote it properly as the next single.

Cocaine would be very original and different to what's on the radio.

..and would wreck his pop star potential. Maybe before Justin's album dropped but not now. Now he's got to play in that arena. That's how the game works. He's got to sell to Justin's audience. He's not good enough on guitar or strong enough as a pure songwriter to sell to the John Mayer crowd like Jason Mratz is doing and he doesn't rock enough to sell to the Maroon 5 crowd. His market is the pop/R&B market. The duet with Pharrell sealed that deal. Now he's stuck with a CD that's not quite on par with the competition. Well, he blows "K-Fed" out of the water...but..

Pharrell was suppose to hook him up after signing him into his lable, but seriously he doomed him

Definate yay, but I'm biased. I love Robin's whole album. I like Angels or Lonely World or Can U Believe more than Lost Without U.
