After two years of waiting, Robin Thicke is making his return to music with his sixth studio album titled Blurred Lines. It's named after the smash hit that grabbed fans attention with a provocative, sexy and stylish music video. Thicke will release the album in July and will feature producers Will.i.am, Timbaland and Dr. Luke.
As Latinos Post previously reported, the single "Blurred Lines" has an interesting backstory, one that has certainly attracted listeners. The original music video for "Blurred Lines" features Thicke with TI and Williams alongside three supermodels, dancing around scantily dressed against white walls. The video is provocative, sexy, classy and invigorating. A perfect match for the song. But then the unedited version came out, and it changed everything.
The explicit version is essentially the one and the same, besides one major difference: the models are topless, making it just a tad more memorable for most viewers. Once the unrated video made its way into public hands, there was no stopping it, and the more people watched the video, the more they listened to the song. The video made the song popular, and once it achieved worldwide recognition, people tapped into its simplistic, funky chopped beat, catchy falsettos, and overall feel good groove. The video may have given the track a boost up the charts, however, it deserves its recognition. Check out the 'tame' version of the music video below.
During an interview on UK radio station Kiss FM, Thicke talked about the controversial video, the various collaborators and his actress-wife Paul Patton. When talking about Will.i.am, the singer commented on his "ability to create hit records that everybody in the world loves and dances to." He also admitted that the Black Eyed Peas front man is also a "weirdo." His wife on the other hand, is his "creative partner and best friend."
Thicke has yet to announce an official release date for Blurred Lines, however, it will hit stores sometime in July.
