Robin Thicke to release new album in July

(Billboard) – Less than a year after scoring his first No 1 album ever with ‘Blurred Lines’, Robin Thicke will release a new album on July 1 through Star Trak/Interscope Records.

20140524robinThicke has already released the single “Get Her Back” from the album, debuting it live at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards and performing it again on “The Voice” on May 20. The song is believed to be a plea to Thicke’s estranged wife, Paula Patton.

Little is known about Thicke’s next album aside from the release date and lead single — a title, track list and artwork have yet to be revealed. The year-long gap between Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ album, released last July 12, and his upcoming full-length marks the fastest turn-around for an album in the R&B singer’s career.

Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” single, featuring Pharrell and TI, earned four awards at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night, including Top Hot 100 Song. The 2013 Song of the Summer was Thicke’s first single to top the Hot 100 chart.
