Who would have ever guessed that the son of the writers of theme songs for TV's FACTS OF LIFE and DIFFERENT STROKES would grow up to become one of the most exciting R&B artists of the early 21st century? Well that's exactly the case with Robin Thicke (son of TV personalities/composers Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring). Thicke's debut album A BEAUTIFUL WORLD puts Justin Timberlake to shame in the caucasian-Michael Jackson sweepstakes, even as it leaves behind cliched pop trappings for a quirky, innovative sound that owes more to Maxwell or D'Angelo (not to mention Stevie Wonder) than to any cookie-cutter R. Kelly wannabe.

Thicke's velvety voice moves sinuously through the songs without ever overstating its case, and the production (by Thicke and his drummer Pro J) is subtle, complex, and endlessly surprising. Somehow he manages the difficult feat of taking all the elements of contemporary mainstream R&B, reshuffling them and coming out with something entirely his own. A BEAUTIFUL WORLD is a serious contender for best R&B album of 2003.

5 stars UNDERRATED
I'm not exagerating this... THICKE is Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, & Jimi Hendrix all in one. He writes amazing songs, he stays true to hisself. He's not really underrated, his name's just not out there to even get 'rated.' This album needs to be selling millions. Although this album only 56,000 (according to SoundScan) Since December he has been writing and recording for A 2ND ALBUM! After A BEAUTIFUL WORLD I can't wait to hear what he comes out with next!

5 stars ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER!!! (i'm not exaggerating)
THICKE is one of the greatest song writers of all time. I place him up with writers like JOHN LENNON, BABYFACE, & DIANN WARREN. Plus, his voice is so soulfull. I'M 'A BE ALRIGHT is my favorite song on the album. "A BEAUTIFUL WORLD" hasn't gotten any promotion at all so I'm not expecting it to even sell 1 million copies. But I think it should be selling millions and millions. Anyone who knows and likes music should get this album. It's filled with R&B/SOUL, and a little touch of ROCK. The perfect album!

4 stars Ecclectic soul album
I was very impressed with this album, being a fan of all different types of music, I thought it had something for everyone. The melodies were catchy and very listenable. The lyrics were lacking in some of the songs, but all in all a fun album that didn't sound like top 40.
