    The "Lost Without U" crooner and Growing Pains scion continues to bound from one R&B mutation to another on his ever-seductive fifth album.

    Seriously i love Robin Thicke!! But this coming out with a new album every year is getting a little crazy. I found this album kinda boring and already done before.
