Thicke - Cherry Blue Skies

The son of Canadian actor Alan Thicke and American soap star Gloria Lorring is the latest celebrity offspring to embark on a music career. Signed to Babyface’s NuAmerica label, singer-keyboardist Thicke (née Robin Thicke) serves up a smorgasbord on his debut album. “Brand New Jones” swings like Stevie Wonder, while the disco-ish “Alone” recalls Michael Jackson and the funky opening “Oh Shooter” suggests Beck. The title track, which deals with 9/11 (yes, Thicke was also in NYC on the day), rocks like Lenny Kravitz. Eclectic in the extreme.
