See,this is one reason why I really enjoyed his last album 'Something Else'.It only featured ONE guest star,and that was on the very last track.The rest of the album was just Robin.He really doesn't need all the guest stars and rappers on his albums.

Alan Thicke beamed into living rooms week after week in the '80s as therapist Jason Seaver, the patriarch of the sitcom "Growing Pains." Two decades later, his son Robin is taking up the family business with the release of his latest album, Sex Therapy.

What is the inspiration for Sex Therapy?" Robin asked MTV News on the Los Angeles set of the music video for the album's single of the same name. "Well, are you stressed out? Overworked? Wound up? Uptight? Sex Therapy is what you need. It's coming soon — December 8 — courtesy of yours truly, Robin Thicke."

In addition to curing all those emotional ailments, he promises the album will boast a slew of cool collaborators, including Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Estelle and Jazmine Sullivan. (While Thicke collaborated with Leighton Meester on her single "Somebody to Love," the "Gossip Girl" star didn't take part in Sex Therapy.)

Thicke has already been getting rave reviews for the album — he's just hoping no one is lying to him.

"The album, as a whole, is actually the first time I didn't write and produce everything myself," he revealed. "I tried to create a new sound that I had never had before. A lot of people are telling me it's the best album yet, so I'm really excited. I hope that they're right!"

People seem to forget an album a year used to be the norm for an artist. Not everyone was MJ waiting 3-4 years

I'm impressed with the title track.

He really does look and dress like a used-car salesman though.

What do you think of this album title

intha916 said:

Thank you. If you didn't watch it, 2 albums within a calender year. Al Green did it once or twice during his career.....

Cinnie said:

I think it's cool It reminds me of Marvin Gaye doing a song called "Sexual Healing"

TD3 said:

Yeah,especially back in the 70s.It wasn't unusual for an artist to do two albums in the same year...

In 1977,Donna Summer released two albums: 'I Remember Yesterday' and 'Once Upon A Time'....the latter was a 2-LP set.

Michael Jackson was probably the artist who started the trend of waiting several years before releasing a new album.

Chic35 said:

I agreed with Ernestsewell, they kinda have the type of falsetto Prince
kinda Micheal Jackson kinda like Marvin Gaye all wrap into one.
But Robin Thicke can really sing. Oh Justin Timberlake too

Copycat said:

He's soon to be a Papa . Congratulations Robin and wifey

Billmenever said:

Really? I can't wait to see their beautiful child

So let me see Robin Thicke can do a song "Sex Therapy" and have chicks all over his shit in a video and no ones says shit and if its Britney or some female, they are ho's? Or portraying slutty behaviour?? I cant wait to hear what people say about his role in the Leighton Meester Video, because she has guys all over her in that one, im sure the double standard will come out once again.

I dig him but this song reminds me a of an R. Kelly jam.

More stuff,Meiple:

Shakin' It For Daddy... love watching him jam to it

Version without all the studior radio stuff in the background.

Man, the moment this song started playing the only thing to pop into my head is, 'Damn, parts of this sounds like Maxwell.' That's far from being a bad thing because I love me some Maxwell and Robin Thicke and I really like the song. I heard that his wife, Paula Patton, is expecting their first child. Awww, Robin gonna be a daddy.

I wonder what his fans think of this new material...I found myself playing Shakin' It For Daddy a few times even though I'm not sure I like it.

The new tracks, such as 'Shakin' It For Daddy', are enticing . The one caveat being the growing list of guest artists on the new disc.

Copycat said:

Agreed. I'm wondering what the end product is going to entail.

JackieBlue said:

I don't like those new songs It seems like,with this album,he's going in a mainstream,hip-hop/R&B direction.I'm just hoping that there are some songs that don't fall into that trap.

Above is the rumored album cover.

Identity said:

Yeah,that's the cover.There will be two versions of this album: The Session and The Experience.

No complete tracklist yet,but these songs will be on the album:

It's In The Morning (featuring Snoop Dogg...produced by Teddy Riley)
Sex Therapy
Meiple (Me I Play)
Shakin It For Daddy
Two Love Birds
Million Dollar Baby

Hmm, really not feeling the cover. Two versions of the album? I wonder what the difference is... Snoop Dogg... meh.
