I also didn't know LAW made that much either. Was it used in movies or a commercial? Cause I know it didn't do well on the charts.

When they're talking about the overheard costs of $6.9 million, is that including the video and promotional expenses? Or was that overhead costs for the entire album? That's what I'd like to know too.

Unlike for BL, the article didn't detail exactly where the LAW profits went. That 895k is probably the total of profits for Robin, the producers, and the label, so the amount isn't nearly as much as it looks once you slice it up. When they're talking about the overheard costs of $6.9 million, is that including the video and promotional expenses? Or was that overhead costs for the entire album? The use of quotes instead of italics in that particular sentence made it seem like the Universal exec was referring only to the cost of the song and not the whole album, but it seems like an absurdly high amount to spend on just one song.

Oh so they're suing over "Love After War" too? Why don't they sue over "Adorn" while they're at it?

The case was somewhat legitimate at first, but now it's becoming obvious they're trying to squeeze every last dime out of this. Next they're going to say they deserve royalties on everything Robin Thicke-related for all of eternity because he was influenced by Marvin Gaye so the music wouldn't exist without their father.

Love After War is even more of a tribute than Blurred Lines is, LOL.

I think it's smart of him to start doing guest spots to get his name back out there. That "I Don't Like It, I Love It" song is pretty great.

He just did an interview recently saying the new album is almost done. I know Ricky Reed (Wallpaper.) did some work on it.

He's probably not going to bounce back in mainstream's favor any time soon but he would be smart to work on regaining urban's favor toward him. That's where his cache really lies, anyway, not with an audience who will forever insist that his career began and ended with BL.
I was listening to some stuff from Paula yesterday. That album's quality was unfairly maligned for the sake of making an example out of him, IMO.

I love blurred lines.... I didn't care that he sold out and got sued for it....... But, his songs make me drip and drop when they're like Morning Sun. That's the a Robin I will always love and I'm glad he's back to that style - even if it's a little more of the same.

Where's the album I was like "it's over here and it's called Morning Sun," and then remembered it still hasn't come out. Since there's a thread for the new era, I'll lock this one.
