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. --Kim Hughes

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) I love this guy! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Love Oh Shooter, and it's "remake", Shooter, but to a lesser extent. I HATE Lil Wayne; he's ugly and talentless.But the good songs don't even end there:Beautiful World (insight, sadness, misery) I'm A Be Alright, The Stupid Things, When I Get You Alone, Flowers In Bloom, Lazy Bones and Suga Mama earn his smooth vocals a 4 star rating.I can't wait to hear from him again. He's great!Standouts: Oh ShooterA Beautiful WorldThe Stupid ThingsLazy Bones4 stars.2) Smooth............ [Rating: 5 out of 5]
As a percussionist, I really appreciate music that provides a smooth groove. This album definitely does a good job of that. A classic R&B feel with a new funky vibe.3) Had to get it [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am newly into Thicke and had to buy up all his music. This cd is great, funkier and younger. Fantastic R&B.4) A New Favorite!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
if you looked past this album thinking "another Disco remake"...u were sadly mistaken! Nice intro for one of music's future voices. This cd had me from the begining track "o'h shooter"..."let's make a baby" makes me think Beatles...Jamiroquai and Prince are naturally going to be artists Thicke will be compared to and hopefully with time and more great music he'll have earned it...when i get you alone was the song pushed on the radio but that's just one style he displays. Disco meets dance and parties with Funk is this guy's style!!! love the tracks "the stupid things" ..."She's Gangsta" and he goes to a Latin theme/flava on "vengas conmigo"...i love this whole album! sweet, smooth vocals...Robin Thicke is much more than Alan Thicke's boy!!!5) I LOVE THICKE [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I don't know what took so long for everyone to catch on to Robin Thicke cuz his music is great!!!!
