Editorial Reviews :
Comparisons generally stink, but sometimes they're so obvious that they're inevitable. So it is with L.A. native and blue-eyed soul man Robin Thicke. Equal parts Remy Shand and Jamiroquai--though funkier than the former and less knuckleheaded than the latter--Thick's Cherry Blue Skies staggers through the speakers with moxie to spare. Opening track 'Oh Shooter'--which finds Thicke drawling lazily while tires screech in the background--is a bait-and-switch for what's to come. By 'Sugar Mama,' Thicke is outfitted in the proverbial white suit and fedora, slinking around the edges of the groove and wailing in a falsetto like some funk-soul cat from the '70s. Levity plays an essential role in the formula, too; 'Make a Baby' is as silly a love song as its title suggests, and 'When I Get You Alone' steals wholesale from Walter Murphy's disco-era novelty hit, 'A Fifth of Beethoven.' But the dance floor is only one destination in Thicke's view. Earnest ballads also appear (notably, the sweetly sentimental, minor-chord lament 'The Stupid Things'), and one is again inclined toward another comparison, this time to Stevie Wonder. Funky, jazzy soul-pop, with a touch of salsa in 'Vengas Con Migo'; that's as accomplished as it is welcoming.
Buyer Reviews :
This album is solid from beginning to end. I have been waiting for it to drop for quite some time now. The release date was pushed back many times and the name of the album was changed. It was worth the wait. Lyrics are more clever than in depth. Great delivery. This album is difficult to classify like Nikka Costa (another great album). I was dissapointed to find that there were no bonus tracks. That is usually a given. This is a great album.
