Robin Thicke “Blurred Lines” Release Date, Tracklist & Album Snippets

    Robin Thicke didn’t get his first choice. The singer wanted comedian-actor Kevin Hart to appear in the video for his “Blurred Lines” single, in which he imagined having married men running around chasing girls. But Hart was in New Orleans shooting a movie. Thicke needed a new plan.

    “So then I thought, ‘Who else is a great example of being a married guy or a dad?'” Thicke said during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood on radio station Power 106 in Los Angeles. “We all know T.I.’s got a family. He’s got kids. T.I. was not on the song. I reached out to T.I. and was like, ‘Hey. I think you’d be perfect for this,’ and he just nailed it, murdered it.”

    Thicke worked on “Blurred Lines” with longtime collaborator Pharrell. The song’s studio session was more fun than work. “We had this great chemistry,” Thicke told Big Boy. “We cut the whole song in an hour, besides T.I.’s part. We made the whole record in an hour and were walking around the studio like two old men hollering at young girls from the porch. So it’d be like, ‘Hey, girl. Come here.'” 

    “Blurred Lines” appears on Thicke’s forthcoming Blurred Lines album, his sixth. Due in late July or early August, the LP also features Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz on “Give It To Me.”

    For now, though, Thicke is enjoying the success of his “Blurred Lines” single. “It’s a dream come true,” Thicke says. “I love making music, but I never really try to think of radio formats. I just make music I want to hear. It’s really nice when you hit something and it pleases the masses. It’s really nice.”

      1. You’re talking like Pharrell ever had street cred.

        And T.I.’s rich as fuck from his mix of street music and pop-records, what does he care.

    1. this album is probably going to be better than JT’s shit. Thicke is the only white dude with that SOUL power.

    2. “That’s how it used to be”

      No. There used to be at least 15 tracks or more on most albums.

    3. yall checked out Ye’s new album yet. I like Yeezus, i got my copy from www. hiphopgood. com. They have all the music on it, i got J. Coles and mac Millers new cds from HipHopGood Too. I think Ye got the best Cd out of the June 18th lineup

    4. “Actually yes.. before 1990 most albums were 10 songs or less”

      Beastie Boys – Paul’s Boutique (15)
      De La Soul – 3 Feet High and Rising (24)
      Jungle Brothers – Done By The Forces of Nature (16)
      Big Daddy Kane – Its A Big Daddy Thing (17)
      3rd Bass – The Cactus Album (22)
      LL Cool J – Walking With A Panther (18)

    5. I don’t know what some of y’all are complaining about. It’s true, most R&B albums were 10 or less tracks back in the day, unless they were double albums of some sort. I can’t see why someone would complain about there not being enough tracks on an album. If an artist makes an album a certain length they probably did it for a reason. Nobody wants filler. Sometimes short and sweet is the way to go, it can make an album more compact and concise, rather than unnecessarily long.

      And to people saying to get this R&B shit out of here, please get your heads out your asses. R&B is awesome and has been a great source of inspiration for lots of hip hop music today. Plus there’s hip hop artists on this album like Pharrell, T.I., and Kendrick Lamar, so…

    6. most album that have over 15 song, half of them are boring like hell, and it’s the same thing for rock and metal album too

    7. GIVE ME A CHANCE
      Youtube is all about finding new artist, & though I been rapping for a while im still consider a new artist. I just want my music heard thats all, im not looking for no record deal, getting famous ‘r anything like that.! so please just spare a few sec. to check me out, & if you like what you heard please SUBSCRIBE so ill know you actually listen & support http://soundcloud.com/sonnytheartistickid

    8. single is catchy, i thought it was John Legend the first time i heard it. And no disrespect to TI but this is the music he should concentrate on making. I liked his old gangsta music, but he sounds good on these r&b tracks, similar to that Justin Timberlake track on FutureSexLoveSounds
