Somethin’ New…Robin Thicke "Magic"
I agree with anonymous. Why is it when a artist who produces (white or black) good music there is all these player-hating-wanne-be comments. If you don’t like Robin’s music; then don’t listen to it. Why would Robin Thicke want to be Maxwell? Maxwell is a good singer and songwriter; but, he ain’t all that for anyone to want be him or copy him. He has his style and Robin has his own style. There are always going to be some similarities in music because there are only 8 notes on a scale. It doesn’t matter how many arrangements there are, there is still going to be similarities.
Actually, his sound is quite similar to some of the tracks on Maxwell’s “Now” cd. And that’s just MHO. It seems to me Robin Thicke came out of nowhere just as Maxwell dropped off the radar, although I know he has some huge songwriting credits.
Do people say he sounds similar to Justin Timberlake? I don’t hear it.
now I’m having Maxwell flashbacks. With so many singers sometimes it is hard not to have some comparison in sounds. Not sure who produces their work.
Oh well, as long as its positive…
Off to find some Maxwell

Give me a break. Like him or not, he isn’t copying Maxwell. No one is checking for Maxwell. They sound nothing alike. If they do sound alike to you, you need to get your ears check like the JT fans.
