"Hard on My Love" immediately made me think of his debut, Robin is a great storyteller and even those who may not like the track are forced to listen in order to find out what happens. "Loverman" is definitely for the Grown & Sexy and I agree with the previous reviewer, Robin has created a genre of his own. It is a hopeful song for all of the believers and definitely matters for what we are experiencing in the states today.
"Dreamworld" reminds me of "Beautiful World" from his first album. "Side Step" follows its lead and will have the steppers and swingers spinning on the dance floor. "Magic" drew me in on the radio with its old school intro that makes you want to get up and dance. The opening track "You're My Baby" is like a sweet lullaby, lulling us into his world.
Of all the new music I have purchased recently, Robin has bullied his way into the number one spot with constant repeats. Robin does it once again! Something Else is a perfect fusion of Beautiful World and Evolution which are BOTH world class albums. While this album isn't a wild stylistic divergence from what Thicke has done previously, it's a more singular, atmospheric experience, an album of mellow blue-eyed soul that you can really sink your teeth into, from the Jeff Buckley-meets-Otis Redding "Dreamworld" to the romantic, horn-punctuated falsetto-fest "The Sweetest Love." Think of Thicke as something like a hipper, alternate-universe version of Justin Timberlake. SOMETHING ELSE assimilates the influences of everything from Marvin Gaye to Prince to Philly soul to disco, and puts them in a sonic blender that delivers a distinctive, original-sounding end product.

That term is often applied to slavish retro rehashes, and Thicke's fourth album is anything but that.
