 Never received December 1, 2008

Unfortunately, I never received this CD. The seller was really nice and sent my credit back promptly which was well appreciated, but my cd was lost in the mail. Always request express so you can get a tracking #. Lesson Learned:-)

One of 2008's Best November 25, 2008

I don't normally write reviews, but I had to make an exception here.
I didn't care much for The Evolution of Robin Thicke, but he has definitely redeemed himself with Something Else! It is rare that I purchase a CD and can listen to it from beginning to end. I love, love, LOVE this CD, and I think he deserves a Grammy (or two) for this great musical accomplishment!
An intentional step "backward" in the evolutionary process!! November 25, 2008
Reginald D. Garrard (Camilla, GA USA)
At first listen, it would seem that Robin Thicke's "Something Else" is not up to par with his last effort, the million-selling "Evolution of Robin Thicke." It's shorter in running time than its predecessor and does not rely as much on guest artists as did "Evolution."
However, it is the brevity of the album and Thicke's concentration on delivering a tight collection of tunes that makes the new release equal to the one before it.
Thicke, obviously, wants to pay tribute to those that came before by crafting songs that could easily have been done by the likes of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, James Brown, and even Robert Palmer.
The singer really comes through on the uptempo as well as the ballads. Thicke served as solo writer or co-writer on all of the songs and his skills are improving in both the vocals and the lyrics.
Because it is "something else," the album may not be as commercially successful as "Evolution," but listeners with a good ear will be satisfied with this tribute album.
Best cuts:
"Cry No More"
"Loverman"
the 70's sounding "Magic"
"Ms. Harmony"
the R-Kelly-like "Sidestep"
the straight-from-the-80's title cut
"You're My Baby"
"The Sweetest Love"
Soulful and Passionate November 25, 2008

This is my first Robin Thicke CD, and I suspect it will not be my last. He takes his mother's talent and runs with it. I can listen to this over and over and hear something new each time.
