Robin Thicke Drops Free Song, Confirms New Album

May 30, 2012

Link

A handwritten note is cool, but Robin Thicke did fans one better. He shared a brand-new song "Top of the World" over the weekend, tweeting, "A little thank u to my fans please enjoy this free track for summer."

Less than a year after releasing his fifth studio album Love After War, Robin confirms to ABC News Radio that he's working on another disc. "[I'm] always working on a new album," Robin says. "I've been writing my own songs since I was 11 [or] 12 years old, so any time I get some time off, the first thing I wanna do is write songs."

Asked what the new project will sound like, Robin says, "I never conceptualize my albums. I just write what I'm feeling and what I'm going through. And then at the end of writing 50, or 60 songs, I go, 'Hey, there's a common thread here, that's what we're going for.'"

In other words, "I'm going to try my best to capitalize off of being a judge on a reality show competition and strike while the iron is hot." lol

Or better yet: "I'm going to try and win over some white folks since I'm on T.V. now."

"On Top of the World" may not attract new fans, but, man, it has an insatiably groove. I hope it's signaling where he's going next musically.

I actually like it. No masterpiece, but nice.

It's a shame that his last album Love After War was neglected by the masses.I think it's one of his strongest albums.Looking forward to the next one.

Pretty much. But the new song sounds nice. Takes me back to the Cherry Blue Skies/A Beautiful World era. Maybe this record will put me back in his good graces again.

I guess I don't get his purpose. He's not that talented and there are better blue eyed soul singers

Love Thicke! 4 great albums in 5 tries (I have yet to listen to Sex Therapy, even though I own it) is about as consistent as it gets in the music business these days.

Anyone else think of Ushers "U turn" when he says "come on, come on" LOL.

Nice production ruined by his "conversational rapping" or whatever it is on the verses
