Robin Thicke’s Star Power Article On Miamiherald.com
Thursday, October 29th, 2009 by Mika
Singer Robin Thicke talks about his new album, ‘Sex Therapy,’ at Macy’s in Dadeland Mall. Robin Thicke hasn’t followed in his famous parents’ televised footsteps. Dad is Growing Pains star Alan Thicke; mom is Days of our Lives actress Gloria Loring. The ex-couple divorced when Robin was 7, but passed on some great musical genes — Alan Thicke is also a songwriter; Loring a singer. The R&B heartthrob’s career has really taken off — at 32, he’s already won three Grammys. Just don’t ask him to take off his sunglasses. Thicke stopped by Macy’s Dadeland Wednesday night to promote his new album, Sex Therapy (out Dec. 8), and help launch Hugo Boss’ new men’s fragrance, Element.
Those baby blues were covered up for a reason — exhaustion. ‘’I’m doing eight cities in eight days, they’re not coming off,” spies heard Thicke say under his breath. The same spies also heard his driver took him to the wrong Macy’s — downtown. Eek. No problem. The married father-to-be — wife Paula Patton, his high school sweetheart, recently announced the pregnancy — is a pro and put on a great show for fans. Thicke is particularly proud of his latest romance-inducing album, which boasts a slew of cool collaborators including Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Estelle and Jazmine Sullivan. “It’s in the tradition of Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing,” Thicke said.
“No matter where you’re at — whether you’re just starting a relationship or if you’ve been in a relationship a long time, a little sex therapy is a good thing.” Thicke, who taught himself to play piano around age 12, finds inspiration from the musicians he grew up listening to on the radio. “One of the first songs I learned was [Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting],” he says, breaking into song. “Wherever you go, whatever you do . . . because it was one note. Then I starting finding the chords.” After the appearance, Thicke had big plans — to sleep. “I can never stay in Miami more than 48 hours,” he said. “I’ll get into too much trouble.” Teddy Riley Produced the Snoop Dogg Collabo.

Champain Era, A Virginia Beach-Bred Rapper On The Road To Stardom
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 by Mika
Popular rap music has, for too long, been mired in a place where vulgarity is accompanied by a challenge to guzzle liquor by the caseload. But a new day has dawned; a move toward refinement, polish and gentility as expressed by artists including Jay-Z and Common offers the promise of a new era. Enter Champain Era, a Virginia Beach-bred rapper emerging as a model for hip-hop stars in the Obama age. Champain Era is careful to not curse in his music. You won’t hear that racial slur that some black youth have claimed is a term of endearment. He holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Morehouse College in Atlanta, joining graduates such as Spike Lee and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Until this spring, Champain worked in the marketing department at Bank of America under his given name of Alan McLeod. By summer, he had chucked corporate life to pursue the creative life he’d watched from the sidelines for so long.
“I met (producer) Pharrell (Williams) when I was about 13 through my cousin,” says the 28-year-old, whose family runs the McLeod Masonry construction business. “I was always at the studio, hearing him play records.” In between meetings and shows this summer, Champain Era was laying bricks. He grew up in a pretty normal, two-parent home, where the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire and Anita Baker kept the only child entertained when he would sit in his room and draw. He was a standout running back and defensive back for Green Run High School, going All-Beach in 1997 and earning a football scholarship to Morehouse.
By around 1999, Williams and his partner, Chad Hugo, aka The Neptunes, had begun making music for some of hip-hop’s biggest names.Over time, young Alan watched from the sidelines as they worked on the debut albums from indie R&B ingenue Kelis; Clipse, now big rap stars; and even the groundbreaking album from NERD., the group consisting of Williams, Hugo and their friend Shay Haley. “The more I sat in on sessions,” he says, “I was finding myself and my art.” Sitting in as The Neptunes created LL Cool J’s song “Love You Better,” he muscled up the nerve to spit out a few bars. “LL was like, ‘Wow, you got a flow!’,” he says. He gained confidence as an artist. When he’d come home between breaks from school, where he set up a small enterprise throwing parties and developing an affinity for the bubbly, he’d watch more sessions and develop his craft. Now, we’re soon to see the fruits of his long labor. Check out his Hoola Hoop tune featuring Scoopy on his myspace page, it’s pretty nice.
