Editorial Reviews
Robin Thicked is primed and ready for Something Else, his 2008 album. He say 'It was like everyone was saying the same things, worried about the same things and I just felt we needed something different right now. After his highly acclaimed 1.5 million selling album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, garnering the #1 smash hit 'Lost Without U' plus a tireless schedule of touring and appearance, Robin needed to sit back, reflect on the last two years and start anew. 14 tracks including guest T.I. on 'Lay Down'.

From start to finish this is a Classic! Very Grown n Sexy mixed in with Political messages serves up an awesome cd. I really liked the cd's that Thicke released prior to this one, however "Somthing Else" is best by far! Music,lyrics,and delivery that parellel Stevie and Marvin! I honestly think that music is starting to go in a better direction in 08' and Robin's "Something Else" is helping lead the way..
Some songs that stood out were...
Cry no More
Sidestep
Magic
Ms.Harmony
Loverman
and my absolute favorite..The Sweetest love(classic Robin)

Robin does it once again! Something Else is a perfect fusion of Beautiful World and Evolution which are BOTH world class albums. Of all the new music I have purchased recently, Robin has bullied his way into the number one spot with constant repeats.
The opening track "You're My Baby" is like a sweet lullaby, lulling us into his world. "Magic" drew me in on the radio with its old school intro that makes you want to get up and dance. "Side Step" follows its lead and will have the steppers and swingers spinning on the dance floor. "Dreamworld" reminds me of "Beautiful World" from his first album. It is a hopeful song for all of the believers and definitely matters for what we are experiencing in the states today. "Loverman" is definitely for the Grown & Sexy and I agree with the previous reviewer, Robin has created a genre of his own. "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. On "The Sweetest Love" serenades us with his piano and its just what the song says: sweet! "Something Else" gives us something else, its funky, mellow, and sweet. "Shadow of Doubt" is my least favorite so far, which means it will most likely be my favorite next week. "Cry No More" is my anthem, listen to it and you will see why. And last is "Tie My Hands" with Lil Wayne, this track is one of my favorites for Tha Carter III, the song is important and Lil Wayne definitely "puts on" for his city. Robin's falsetto is perfect for the grit that Wayne paints with his words.
This is a wonderful follow up from Robin. If you don't have, GO GET IT!

I wasn't even aware that Robin Thicke had a new CD coming out until I saw the catchy fun filled video for "Magic" a few months ago. The horn peppered disco-tinged "Magic" is the lead-off single from his third CD "Something else", which follows up the Platinum "The evolution of Robin Thicke".
Since then, Thicke has gotten more confident in his singing and it shows. He sounds very soulful on this album. The falsetto sung ballad "Loverman" could have come off Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on" album.
Keeping the tempo up are "Sidestep", "Hard on my love" (which reminds me of the psychedelic Soul songs by The Temptations), the gritty funky "Shadow of doubt", and the horn peppered Disco tinged groovy title track "Something else" (like something out of Jamiroquai's songbook).
The rest of the album comprises ballads, even the closing track "Tie my hands" which features Lil Wayne rapping, and Thicke doing some dramatic narrating and singing.
Opening is the lilting falsetto sung "You're my baby", the Jazzy guitar festooned "Ms. Harmony", the beautiful horn-sprinkled "The sweetest love", and my favourite, the retro soulful "Dreamworld" (nice piano/organ and harmonies) which finds Thicke fantasizing about a world free of racism, where he and his black wife can move around without getting stared at, one in which Marvin Gaye wouldn't have been shot by his father, a world where there's no global warming or energy crisis.
This album should see the continued ascent of Robin Thicke.

Okay but not great
This is not my favorite Robin Thicke album. It has a few good songs but I should have just bought the songs I liked instead of the whole album. Mostly disappointing. Read more

Thicke at his best!
You know when you get new CDs and only about half the songs are really "worth" listening to? Well not the case here. "Something Else" is just that - something else. Read more

"A" for voice, "D" for song-writing, "F" for outcome ................
I just don't understand how a guy with such a great voice can make such a bad album. For instance, when you've got such a great regular voice, why sing at all in such a ridiculous,... Read more

Not my type of music
I was told by friends I would like this CD. It just isn't my type of music. Only complaint.

Awful
I am a Robin Thicke fan from the very first album and I would have to say that this is by far the worst album that he has ever created. And that my friends, makes me sad. Read more
