This Love & True Romance escapade of ours begins with a luxuriously styled video from the rhythmics blues man himself, Robin Thicke.

The style of this video we believe was created around a “Victorian Noir” concept.  A mixed style of Victorian styled art; captured beautifully within a low-key lighting atmosphere. All fused together in an seductive, high brow, renaissance like, romantic setting. Just borderline of being considered low brow art. Interesting this is to us because this particular concept is one that our own production studio aptly conceived (or so we thought) of shooting some time recently. Quite intrigued upon the viewing of this stellar work of art, we humbly backed down (whew) from any such efforts. What Melina Masoukas has done here is absolutely mesmerizing. Stellar Fresh indeed.  Click to View Music Video Production Notes Below

Production Notes:

Robin Thicke confirmed on his twitter account that he shot the video for the song on October 24 in L.A. with music video director Melina Matsoukas, at the same mansion of Hilary Duff’s Reach Out.  Model Saleisha Stowers made a cameo in the video.

Critical Reception (Song)

Kelsey Paine from Billboard Magazine gave a very positive review for the song, saying that: “Robin Thicke delivers his signature smooth talk on “Sex Therapy,” . Producers Polow Da Don and Hot Sauce set up a languorous backbeat with understated synths and soft drum kicks, while Thicke turns the heat all the way up. “Stressed out, uptight, overworked, wound up/Unleash what you got, let’s explore your naughty side,” the singer croons. “Just let me love you, lay right here, I’ll be your fantasy/Give you sex therapy.” The come-hither lyrics, accompanied by Thicke’s breathy falsetto and deep bass undertones, give the song an unforced eroticism that feels ideal for lovers of romance. Thicke’s stripped-down brand of R&B is of an ultra-suggestive nature, but his earnest vocal performance is what ultimately keeps it classy.
