More about: Robin Thicke
His tearful, emotional campaign has flopped. Hard
You know you want it? Well, probably not. Robin Thicke's new album, Paula, was released this week - and it seems unlikely to win back his ex-wife or score him much in the way of chart success, having sold a mere 530 copies in the UK.
Thicke came to notoriety with his 2013 single 'Blurred Lines' and his subsequent crotch-thrusting, Miley Cyrus-gyrating actions (and a few reports of infidelity) led to the break down of his marriage to actress Paula Patton. New album Paula is an attempt to win her back with embarrassing videos, crying at award ceremonies and creepy song titles.
The album is released this week, and according to reports has shifted a meagre 530 copies in the UK, reaching No.200 in the midweek charts. In his homeland he has done slightly better with an estimated sales of 25,000, but considering the size of his former fanbase across the pond, this is all rather embarrassing.
Perhaps the British public are too busy to spend time worrying about a man who won't take no for an answer trying to convince a woman we don't really know that she should give him a second chance.
Below: Robin Thicke's 10 most creepiest, sleaziest quotes
When asked about the whole VMA fiasco: "People ask me if I twerk, and I'm like, 'listen, I'm the twerkee. I don't twerk, I'm just twerked upon." Thats pretty modest of you Thicke.
There's more than one negative subject in 'Blurred Lines': "We tried to do everything that was taboo. Bestiality, drug injections, and everything that is completely derogatory towards women. Because all three of us are happily married with children, we were like, 'we're the perfect guys to make fun of this'."
He also has a large 'ego': "Compared to my son, I'm packing."
His dad had a love of women as well: "My dad was single my whole pubescent period. He had Ms. Alabama, Ms Dominican Republic 2013 every week. I was like, 'Dang, Pops!'"
And what does Patton do in return? Well with music having to be in their bedroom: "Sometimes she'll even play groupie for me."
"In 'Give It 2 U,' it's more a comment of swagger," says Thicke. "Like, I'm big-dick swingin'. We joke around. If someone's got a great outfit on, it's like, 'Oh, you're big-dick swingin tonight.'" Right, makes total sense.
He's also the ultimate cheesy romancer: "I like to take her out to a fancy, six-course meal that lasts three hours and stare into her eyes."
He's pretty open about his bedroom antics with his wife Paula Patton: "We're overspiced" he says, "I like to try to get her into double-digit orgasms as much as possible."
