As a whole, Blurred Lines is an album full of summer jams that deserve to linger long after the temperature drops.
This is the album that Justin Timberlake is too famous to make in 2013, its musical scope and track lengths modest, its sexual appetite and commercial ambition immodest, its star willing to offer up whatever cheesy line, vocal acrobatic, pop hook or funk groove or electro flourish that it takes to keep you listening.
The plain fact is that Blurred Lines is not a deep album. These 11 songs are all about surface concerns: sex not romance, getting drunk/stoned and getting lost in club sounds and living “The Good Life.”
After years spent trying to climb to the top as a smooth, honeyed love man, Thicke decided to go with sex, which still sells.
Blurred Lines (the song) is so cringeworthy, it hurts to listen to. How have we as a society stooped so low that creeps like Mr. Thicke can get away with straight up shit like this? The rest of the album is just as bad,, if not forgettable.
In the grand tradition of pop music missteps, "Blurred Lines" is a reminder that not all that glitters is gold, and sometimes, a catchy single is just that – a single, surrounded by what might as well be musical tumbleweeds.
