New Music: Robin Thicke – Another Life

New Thicke? I’ll take it. Robin Thicke had been busy with his role on ABC’s ‘Duets,’ and the promotion of his latest album Love After War slowed down, but something like this brings you right back to his side. The soulful crooner once again unites with The Neptunes for “Another Life.” A feel-good, uptempo love tune that will surely have you tappin your feet.

You can catch the R&B star at the inaugural Wood Star Music Festival from August 17-19 in Chicago. The event is in support of a foundation headed by Shannon Brown of the Phoenix Suns. Take a listen below…
