DWND, I listened to Thicke's first album... Pretty good stuff... Some great compositions, some tracks more Stevie-like than others... He does remind me of a more old-school 70s R&B line of thought than some of the other great R&B guys out there, even though he's certainly a post-hip-hop guy. I was expecting him to be more interesting as a vocalist with the Stevie comparison... And I laughed a bit when he went all "Fifth of Beethovan," though that track actually worked... All in all good stuff, but didn't knock me off my feet.

 Erik,

           Well I hope if it didn't knock you off your feet, ( I was rather impressed with nearly the whole album ),  that you didn't burn any dollars on it.

While I agree that he isn't as interesting overall as Stevie is as a vocalist, I think the quote was directed to the notion that he has the potential of that level.

His second album is much more reserved than the first, so I think the producers sat him down to focus on one sound, as he tends to bounce around a bit on the first album.

Now if I could only send you a copy of “Come get it, I got it.” from David Holmes. That album didn’t knock me off my feet, it gave me wings.

I’m also glad to see you gave E.W.F. a tip of the hat, as they get overlooked too often these days...
